Wisdom

Join us for the eighth installment of our series "Thriving in Babylon," as Pastor Charlie explores the essential topic of wisdom in "Wisdom," diving deep into Proverbs 9:10. Discover how Daniel's wisdom wasn't rooted in training or experience, but in his fear of the Lord, and learn the crucial difference between sin and personal preferences that guided his decisions in hostile Babylon. Pastor Charlie reveals how Daniel strategically chose his battles, accepting name changes and even studying occult subjects to gain influence and credibility with King Nebuchadnezzar, ultimately using that platform to introduce the true God. Learn what it means to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves" as Jesus commands, and why engaging with godless culture rather than withdrawing from it is essential for sharing the gospel. Be challenged to practice wisdom in your own life by finding ways to engage with grace rather than retreating into Christian isolation, remembering that our goal isn't to win arguments but to point people toward Jesus through humble, strategic love.
