In this message, Stephen discusses the book of Proverbs, highlighting its three main parts: wisdom calls (chapters 1-9), wisdom instructs (chapters 10-24), and wisdom continues (chapters 25-31). He emphasizes that wisdom is personified in Jesus Christ, who gathers people to Himself and builds His church with seven pillars representing His character. The last section of Proverbs, transcribed by the men of Hezekiah, reflects a spiritual awakening and a deeper understanding of Solomon's teachings. Stephen notes that the church, like the Proverbs, reflects Christ's wisdom in various ways, showcasing the diversity of its members while maintaining unity in purpose. He also explores the significance of chapters 30 and 31, which introduce the words of Agar and the teachings of King Lemel's mother, respectively. These chapters illustrate the relationship between God and humanity, emphasizing humility in seeking God and the qualities expected of both men and women. Ultimately, Stephen concludes that the eternal purpose of God is the union of Christ and His Church, which should reflect His character and wisdom.
