Proverbs: Formed by Jesus - Formed by Fear

OUTLINE:

• What (Proverbs 1:1-3)
• Why (Proverbs 1:4-6
• Where (Proverbs 1:7)

QUESTIONS:

• When you hear the word “wisdom”, what comes to mind? How is biblical wisdom different from simply being informed, smart or knowledgeable?  
• Where is your life currently aligned with God’s design? Where is it most misaligned? How can you tell?
• What usually happens when we live out of alignment with the way God designed life to work?
• Our minds are constantly being formed, everyday, every thought. What currently has the most input into your formation? What voices, people, experiences or beliefs influence you the most?
• Why would fear be the starting point for wisdom? What does your fear reveal about what you value most? What do your greatest fears reveal about the things you may be tempted to value more than God?
