Godly Wisdom that Bears Fruit | Part 9

Passage: James 3:13-18

Preacher: Joel Badal

Series:James

Detail:

1.  False wisdom is described as earthly and demonic (vv. 14-15).
     The Fruit of False Wisdom:
        ●  Creates bitterness rather than dependency
        ●  Develops selfishness rather than humility
        ●  Displays arrogance rather than mercy
        ●  Allows for disorder rather than peace

2.  True Godly wisdom is pure (vv. 13, 16-17).
     Seven Descriptors of Wisdom:
        ●  Wisdom is peaceable.
        ●  Wisdom is considerate.
        ●  Wisdom is open to reason.
        ●  Wisdom is full of mercy.
        ●  Wisdom is producing good fruits.
        ●  Wisdom is impartial.
        ●  Wisdom is sincere.

3.  True Godly wisdom is measured by sowing and reaping (v. 18).
     A Peacemaker's Sowing and Reaping:
        ●  Sow seeds of peace (v. 18)
        ●  Sow seeds of wisdom (v. 17)
        ●  Sow seeds of good works (vv. 13, 18)
