What does it really mean to follow Jesus as a disciple? It means more than belief. It means counting the cost of walking in the wisdom of God found in the Word of God.

In this sermon we explore the connection between wisdom and Scripture, and why true disciples must be rooted in the Word like a tree planted by rivers of water. Jesus said that abiding in Him includes letting His Word abide in us, and Psalm 1 shows us the picture of a life shaped by daily meditation on God’s truth.

But this kind of wisdom is not free. It will cost us what money cannot buy, our natural desires toward sin, our personal pursuits, and even our comfort. Yet what we gain is far greater, the wisdom of God, the fear of the Lord, and a life that bears lasting fruit.

Key Thought: The disciple must count the cost of obtaining the wisdom found in the Word of God.
