Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but it is also fragile. In this sermon, we confront the sobering truth that in a broken world, a little folly can outweigh a lifetime of wisdom. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 10 and the story of Moses in Numbers 20, we see how quickly wise decisions can be undermined by a single foolish act, and how the temporal promises of wisdom can be upended by foolish leaders. But this is not a call to despair. It’s a call to vigilance, humility, and hope. True wisdom, root...

Ecclesiastes 8:10-13 reminds us that while the wicked may prosper temporarily, God’s justice is inevitable. Human praise can be deceptive, elevating power and success over true righteousness. Many mistake God’s patience for approval, but sin always incurs a debt we cannot repay. The good news is that those who fear God—who trust in Christ—are justified by His grace, not by their own efforts. Rather than striving to earn salvation, we are called to live in gratitude for the One who paid our debt ...
