What if the difference between a wise life and a wasted one came down to this—application? In this message, Pastor Matt Hagee opens the Book of Proverbs and calls us to do more than hear the Word of God. He urges us to live it, daily, decisively, and wholeheartedly.
Drawing from Proverbs 1, Pastor Matt walks us through Solomon’s fatherly instruction, his passionate appeal for wisdom, and the stark contrast between wise and foolish living. This isn’t just an ancient collection of sayings—it’s a God-breathed guide for decision-making, relationships, finances, parenting, and more. It’s Christianity 101 with eternal consequences.
Whether you’ve been in the Word for decades or just opened it today, this message challenges you to take your faith from passive belief to active obedience. Wisdom is crying out in the streets—will you listen? Will you act? Will you live wisely?
