This study is part of our series of verse by verse studies of Proverbs, the 20th book in the Bible. Taught by Sim Forder, one of our pastors, at our Sunday morning service on the 12th December 2021. You can watch or listen on this web page or save the audio for later listening.

Summary of this study

Perhaps as a timely warning to us, as we begin chapter 30, we’ll see someone in the place we really don’t want to be – that is, having heard wisdom, and had the opportunity to apply it, but have failed to do so.

Then, in chapter 31 we’ll conclude with of the most famous parts of this book – known as the the virtuous wife – but that’s from verse 10 onwards, and before that we’ll see a mother address her son’s relationship to women, alcohol, and those in need.

Application questions

• Is our relationship with God of bigger concern than riches or poverty?
• If parents, are we having the difficult conversations about relationships and drink?
• Are you looking for a godly wife? // Are you a godly wife?
