Matthew 10:1–25. Brother Sam begins a new teaching series on Christian wisdom and ethics. The Bible instructs us to be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves. In this first part of the series, Brother Sam tells us what wisdom is in the Christian faith. Wisdom is to understand the will of the Lord and live in it. It is to do what God wants in the way God wants it done. The value of wisdom is not in the value of gold or riches it brings you, but in how much in the will of God you live. Wisdom is “applied sanctification.” To live a meaningful life in this world for Christ, you need to be wise. As you proceed in this series, we hope it aids you to walk more in sanctification in every good endeavour.
