Book of James: What wisdom have you been building your life with?
Wade Bishop
What kind of wisdom are you building your life on?
In James 3:13–18, we see a sharp contrast between wisdom from above and wisdom from below. One is pure, peaceable, and leads to a harvest of righteousness. The other is driven by jealousy and selfish ambition and leads to chaos.
In this message we unpack:
- Why wisdom from above is countercultural
- How wisdom from above feeds your faith (and wisdom from below feeds your flesh)
- How wisdom from above brings a harvest of righteousness and peace
We’ll also see why the only true foundation for a wise life is Jesus Himself (Romans 10:9–10), and what it looks like to respond to Him in faith.
📖 Main text: James 3:13–18
🎯 Big idea: Build your life on wisdom from ABOVE, not BELOW.
