In this session, Ken Boa discusses the biblical theme of money, using the timeless wisdom of Proverbs to derive certain principles that will help you understand the value of wealth as well as its limitations.
The wise person knows three things when it comes to words: the value of speech, the characteristics of good words, and the source of good words.
What are the characteristics of the wise? Ken Boa looks at seven of them through the book of Proverbs: humility, loyalty, teachability, righteousness, godly speech, forgiveness, and thoughtfulness.
The first nine chapters of Proverbs introduce the book through ten exhortations. Chapters 5–9 call us to flee from folly, especially from sexual immorality.

In psalms of lament, the psalmist asks God for intervention to deliver him from suffering, sorrow, great loss, failures, and enemies. Here are some of the representative psalms of lament.
True leadership comes from following God—meditating on His Word to know and love Him more. The life of Joshua gives us an example of this leadership.
Moses’s disobedience may seem like a small thing to us, and God’s reaction drastic, but we need to recognize that God had given Moses a command. And Moses, the shepherd of the Israelites, did not obey. As Luke 12:48 teaches, to whom much is given, much will be required. The more you know about the Word, the more you will be held accountable. Moses was a leader, and God held him accountable for his actions.
