Wisdom’s Call

1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? 2 On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud: 4 “To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. 5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. 6 Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. 8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. 9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. 12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; 
 I possess knowledge and discretion.

13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; 
 I hate pride and arrogance, 
 evil behavior and perverse speech. 
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; 
 I have understanding and power. 
15 By me kings reign 
and rulers make laws that are just; 
 16 by me princes govern, 
and all nobles who rule on earth.[a] 
 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. 
 18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. 


19 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. 
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, 
along the paths of justice, 
 21 bestowing wealth on those who love me 
 and making their treasuries full.

22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, [b] [c] 
before his deeds of old; 
 23 I was appointed [d] from eternity, 
 from the beginning, before the world began. 
24 When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;

25 before the mountains were settled in place, 
 before the hills, I was given birth, 
26 before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. 
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, 
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, 
 28 when he established the clouds above 
 and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, 
29 when he gave the sea its boundary 
so the waters would not overstep his command, 
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. 
 30 Then I was the craftsman at his side. 
I was filled with delight day after day, 
rejoicing always in his presence,

31 rejoicing in his whole world 
and delighting in mankind. 32 “Now then, my sons, listen to me; 
 blessed are those who keep my ways. 
 33 Listen to my instruction and be wise; 
do not ignore it. 
 34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, 
 watching daily at my doors, 
 waiting at my doorway. 
 35 For whoever finds me finds life 
 and receives favor from the LORD. 
 36 But whoever fails to find me harms himself; 
 all who hate me love death.”

Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

Luke 17:20-21 20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."

Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and" with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Peoples Church is attended by and attracts a global audience of 75+ Nations of mother tongues.Text from original transcript Televised Sunday September 5, 2010. Acts III: Turning the World Upside Down Part 1 "A Dynamic or Dying Church" Acts 11: 19-24; 13: 1-3 Charles Price.

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.' This is His purpose that there is going to be a new humanity now where the dividing wall of hostility, as Paul writes in Ephesians, between Jew and Gentile, is broken down.

There is one new humanity. We are all one in Christ Jesus. Antioch demonstrates now, and why it becomes a powerful church is its all embracing - different color, different cultures, different backgrounds, different nationalities, different continents. You know one of the things I love about this church is that those of us who access this information on our database tell me that there are 74 mother tongues spoken in this church apart from English.

That's 75 mother tongues amongst here today. I think that's fantastic! And the common denominator which unites us and which united the church in Antioch was not nationality, it was not culture, it was not background but it was Christ. It was their experience of Him; it was their love for Him.

But our experience of Christ can stop at our own self-interest - what is in this for me? What makes me comfortable? Why do I like this? Rather than recognizing the task is to grow us as the body of Christ for God's global mission and give us a sense of what it is that we are to be involved in across the world and locally within this city.
