This sermon from Proverbs 10:1 - 5 explores God’s wisdom on work, diligence, and righteousness. It reminds believers that true wisdom is not just knowledge but faith lived out through consistent, godly effort—“godliness in overalls.” The message contrasts the diligence that leads to fruitfulness with the laziness that brings poverty and shame, urging Christians to reject shortcuts and dishonest gain. It points to Jesus Christ as the perfect example of wise and purposeful work, whose obedience and sacrifice bring us lasting satisfaction. Ultimately, the sermon calls us to work hard and wisely, not to earn God’s favour, but as an act of worship and trust in His provision.
