A Man Among Boys Gains Wisdom (Proverbs 1:1-7) | Philip De Courcy

Описание: In this sermon from Kindred Community Church, Pastor Philip De Courcy opens Proverbs 1:1–7 to launch Man Among Boys, a year-long study calling men to maturity, leadership, and godly wisdom. This message establishes Proverbs as a manual for manhood—training sons, shaping leaders, and forming men who know how to live skillfully in the fear of the Lord. At the heart of true wisdom is not information, but reverent submission to God and His Word.

"Man Among Boys" addresses a culture confused about masculinity and prolonged adolescence by returning to God’s design for men. Through the book of Proverbs, Scripture confronts fatherlessness, challenges passivity, and calls men to “play the man” by pursuing wisdom that leads to righteous living, spiritual clarity, and lasting influence. A man among boys is marked not by age, but by wisdom rooted in the fear of God.

Scripture: Proverbs 1:1–7

Key themes:
Proverbs as a biblical manual for manhood and leadership
Wisdom defined as skill for living, not mere knowledge
The role of fathers in discipling sons toward maturity
Why extended adolescence is foreign to Scripture
The fear of the Lord as the foundation of true wisdom
Choosing the path of wisdom over the path of folly
Christ as the fulfillment and treasure of God’s wisdom
