Introduction
Have you ever made a decision in your life that after looking back you have said, “That wasn’t wise.”
Maybe it was the purchase of a car.
Or maybe it was getting pregnant at such a young age.
Or not going to college or going to college.
Or the person you married.
The job you turned down or the job you took.
That adventure that was a little too adventurous.
Getting hammered on a Saturday night.
What we know is decisions like these and others can really set the course of our lives.
Both good and bad.
We have all made unwise decisions and that is just a part of life, and I think that is one of the main reasons we gather here together is to learn to walk in wisdom.
All through the Bible God is teaching us the need to walk in wisdom.
When King David’s son Solomon took the thrown, God granted him one wish.
He could choose anything that he wanted.
And he chose wisdom.
That God would teach him how do conduct hisself as he lead the people of Isreal.
This request was so impressive to God that he granted him victory over his enemies and riches untold.
Because of wisdom Solomon had it all.
One of the key elements in anyone’s life is to learn to walking in wisdom.
From a very young age we begin to teach our kids the things they will need to know to make wise choices in their life.
My biggest frustration in the ministry is watching people make unwise decisions that are going to heavily impact their life and possibly generations to come.
So how do we make wise decisions in our lives?
This is a tough question because their are two types of wisdom.
There is the wisdom of this world, and there is wisdom from above.
To be wise is the ability to see past the decision, foresee the outcomes, and make your decision based on things that haven’t happened yet.
Therefore wisdom deals with a course of action.
A way in which a person might go.
A path a person might choose.
Wisdom is always seen or fleshed out.
Today I want to talk to you about how you can distinguish from earthly wisdom and wisdom from above.
Once we understand the difference we can begin to seek after the hidden wisdom from God and avoid the traps and snares offered by the wisdom of the world.
Sermon Body
Wisdom Begins with Christ
1 Cor 2
Wisdom from above is more than just a good set of rules.
It is spiritual in nature and must be received by spiritual beings.
The first message Paul gives is not how to walk in wisdom but You must be born again.
If you are here this morning and you have not yet received Christ as your Lord and savior then the wises decision you will ever make is to receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and become a child of God.
Once you become a follower of Christ the rest of this will start to make sense.
Trade in Earthly Wisdom for Heavenly Wisdom.
1 Cor 2:
Defining Heavenly Wisdom
Heavenly wisdom is not of this world
Prov 8:22
Proverbs 8:28-
Prov 8:28-
Prov

s world.
1 Cor 2:8
The rulers of this world refer to the demonic forces that are controlling the course of this world.
In hind sight the worst move Satan ever made was killing Jesus Christ because through his death and resurrection many have been reconciled to God.
Heavenly wisdom is revealed only through the Spirit of God.

The Spirit reveals the mind of God.
Is 55:
Heavenly wisdom is different from this world.
James 3:17
Defining Worldly Wisdom

Jame 3:
Examples of Worldly Wisdom
Look out for myself first and foremost.
In Marriage: try it before you buy it.
Success is determined by my wealth.
Relationships are leverage for personal gain.
Defend my position at all costs.
Happiness is produced by pleasurable experiences.
Love is a feeling based on my needs and desires.
Give to others out of my excess regardless of the real need.
Time is money!
Sacrifice is a sign of weakness and defeat.
Walking in Wisdom from above
1 Cor 2:12-13
4 Steps for the Mature Believer
We receive knowledge from the Spirit of truth.
We are given understanding about the hidden wisdom of God.
We impart the hidden wisdom in words taught by the Spirit.
We interpret spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
The natural person is not so.
The natural person doesn’t accept heavenly wisdom.
The natural person thinks it foolish.
The natural person doesn’t understand.
Romans 1:
Worldly wisdom leads to foolish decisions that cause broken lives and failed relationships.
Conclusion
So how do we move from the natural to the spiritual?
You must receive the Spirit of God through the Jesus Christ.
You must be born again.
You must mature to understand the difference between earthly wisdom and Godly wisdom.
You must walk in the mind of Christ.
1 cor 2:15
Aren’t you tired of being duped by devilish wisdom?
Christians, are you tired of walking in the wisdom of this world?
It’s time to experience the hidden wisdom of God.
The true wisdom that only comes from God.
