Introduction to Wisdom Literature, June 7, 2026

About this episode

This episode introduces a series on Wisdom Literature, exploring how biblical texts guide faithful living in God's world.

Wisdom Literature - Week 1 of 17 The purpose of this series is to help our church learn how to live well in God’s world. The wisdom books speak honestly about life—decisions, disappointments, relationships, suffering, love, and worship. Together they give us a sophisticated account of human experience and teach us how to trust God in every season of life. Throughout this series, we will explore how Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job, Song of Songs, and Psalms offer different perspectives on life. These books do not provide simple answers, but they invite us into a conversation about what it means to live faithfully in God’s world.
