Today's generation is one of the most informed in human history, yet confusion and destruction are rampant. Why? Because having information without God's wisdom leaves us powerless. In Episode 10 of "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff teaches that without the knowledge of God, we are powerless.The first pillar of wisdom is knowledge, yet many embrace the cultural lie that “what you don't know won't hurt you." Scripture teaches the opposite. Hosea 4:6 warns that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge—not a lack of information, but a lack of knowing God Himself.Biblical knowledge is more than knowledge. In Scripture, "to know" speaks of an intimate relationship—the same word used to describe the union between husband and wife. True transformation begins not by knowing about God, but by truly knowing Him. Without the foundational pillar of experiential knowledge through a relationship with Jesus, we cannot build anything that lasts. Yet through this intimate relationship, we become one spirit with Christ and bear the spiritual fruit of love, joy, and peace.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

What if everything we're building in our lives—families, careers, ministries, and legacies—could crumble in an instant without the right foundation? In Episode 9 of "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff teaches how to become a “wise master builder” by understanding the seven pillars of wisdom revealed in Proverbs 1:2–5: knowledge, understanding, judgment, justice, equity, discretion, and subtlety.Jesus’ teaching on the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7, along with Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 3, reveals that God is not only concerned with what we build, but how we build it. Lives built through grace, faith, and God’s wisdom endure like gold, silver, and precious stones, while works produced through human effort alone resemble wood, hay, and stubble.These seven pillars form the framework of a life built in partnership with God—building something eternal that will endure life’s storms and survive the fire of God’s judgment.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

What does it mean to fear God? In Episode 8 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff explores the biblical concept of fearing God and teaches the difference between the tormenting fear that God delivers us from and the reverential, godly fear that is the foundation of wisdom.There are two types of fear: tormenting demonic fear and reverential godly fear. The fear of the Lord isn’t about cowering in terror, but standing in awe of God’s holiness, power, and consuming fire of purity. Reverential fear leads us to worship God, depart from evil, and develop a holy hatred for what destroys lives and souls.In a culture that celebrates what God condemns and condemns what God celebrates, this foundational wisdom is needed more than ever. The fear of the Lord gives us quick understanding to make righteous judgments not based on feelings or appearances and enables us to love what God loves while hating what God hates—not people, but the evil that harms them.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

“Did you know there are five different places that God has hidden His wisdom from the world, but He’s given us a map to find His hidden treasures of wisdom?” In Episode 7 of "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff teaches that while the world searches for answers through human reasoning, Scripture reveals that God has intentionally concealed His wisdom from unbelief, pride, and worldly thinking. Yet through the Holy Spirit, He reveals it to those who pursue Him in faith.In this message, Duane explores five specific places where divine wisdom can be found when we intentionally seek it. To open the door of wisdom, we must ask God in faith, walk in humility, and live in the fear of the Lord—not in terror, but in awe-filled reverence. Wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge; it is a divine gift that brings long life, riches, honor, happiness, and promotion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

Where do we find wisdom in a world confused about truth? In Episode 6 of "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff teaches that real wisdom is found in the Bible and in what Jesus did on the cross. Wisdom isn’t found in our culture, on college campuses, or in politics. It is revealed to us through the Bible and through Jesus, the Word made flesh.The Holy Spirit, called the Spirit of wisdom and counsel, guides us into truth and reveals the wisdom of God throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Wisdom is found through instruction in the Word of God and through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The cross is the ultimate revelation of God’s wisdom. What the world considers foolishness becomes the power and wisdom of God to those being saved, through which God accomplished redemption and revealed His divine plan for salvation.Discover where real wisdom is found and how looking for it can change the way you understand God’s Word, the cross, and your everyday life with Jesus.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

“Did you know wisdom has to be found?” Many people assume wisdom simply comes with age or experience, but Scripture teaches that wisdom must be intentionally pursued. In Episode 5 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff teaches that wisdom is not automatic—it must be sought, embraced, and retained.Proverbs 4 instructs believers to “get wisdom” and “get understanding,” emphasizing that we must intentionally pursue God’s wisdom rather than rely on our own understanding. In a world that tries to define good and evil without God, this teaching exposes the danger of being “wise in our own eyes.”The books of Proverbs, Isaiah, Job, and the New Testament show that true wisdom does not come from the world, wealth, or human reasoning. Instead, God’s wisdom is found in five places: through the Bible and Jesus, understanding the message of the cross, asking God in faith, being humble, and living in the fear of the Lord.In today’s culture, learning how to find God’s wisdom may be one of the most important journeys of our lives.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

We are constantly bombarded with advice, opinions, and what the culture calls wisdom. But did you know that there are two kinds of wisdom? And one of them is demonic. In Episode 4 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff reveals the striking contrast between worldly wisdom and God's wisdom.Worldly wisdom is based on pride, selfishness, and what we experience through our five physical senses. Many people, even believers, can unknowingly operate in a wisdom that appears intelligent but is actually earthly, sensual, and influenced by demonic thinking. This kind of wisdom produces pride, envy, strife, confusion, and destructive outcomes. It's the same temptation found in the Garden of Eden, when humanity believed they could determine good and evil apart from God.According to the book of James, Godly wisdom produces righteousness and peace through the fruit of these eight traits: pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. These characteristics serve as a powerful test for discerning truth in our culture, relationships, and even in the church. Recognizing the difference between these two kinds of wisdom is essential for anyone who wants to live in truth and avoid the confusion dominating our culture.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

Two houses. One storm. Only one will stand. Is your house built on shifting sand or on solid rock? Jesus taught that every life is built on one of these two foundations. In Episode 3 of "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff explains how God’s wisdom determines whether our lives stand firm or fall apart when storms come. Matthew 7 and Proverbs show that the difference between wise and foolish people is not just hearing God’s Word, but also understanding and applying it.Storms come. The question is not if the rain will fall or the winds will blow, but what our lives are built on. True wisdom means using what God teaches us and then living it out every day. Using Biblical Scripture, Duane shows the differences between wise and foolish people, and how our relationships, choices, and attitudes shape our future. The storm will come to everyone, but only those who build on the rock will still be standing.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

Wisdom should not be optional in our lives—it should be the foundation of our very existence. In Episode 2 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff teaches that God’s wisdom is the ability to understand truth, discern good from evil, and make righteous judgments, especially in today’s confused culture.In 1 Kings 3, Solomon demonstrates that wisdom gives us understanding and the ability to judge rightly in difficult situations. His famous decision between the two mothers shows how God’s wisdom reveals truth and protects what is good. When people abandon God’s wisdom, they lose the ability to discern right from wrong—a problem becoming increasingly evident in society.This message also explores the insight of the sons of Issachar, who understood the times in which they lived and knew what Israel should do. In the same way, we need God’s wisdom to navigate these times with discernment, stability, and courage. Wisdom is not a luxury—it is essential for discerning truth in these challenging times.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/

Everyone is searching for happiness—but many are pursuing it in the wrong places. In the new series "Wisdom," Duane Sheriff reveals why Scripture calls wisdom "the principal thing" and how God's wisdom affects every area of life.Through the example of Solomon in Proverbs, we see that when given the chance to ask God for anything, he chose wisdom above riches and power—and received honor, blessing, and lasting success as a result. Duane contrasts worldly wisdom with God's wisdom while explaining the biblical progression of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Knowledge gathers truth, understanding reveals meaning, and wisdom applies God's Word to everyday decisions.Discover how pursuing God's wisdom brings clarity, peace, and lasting fulfillment. When wisdom becomes the principal thing, life begins to align with God's design.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/wisdom/
