Building Wisdom's House (Teen Class)

This 1995 series explores the call of Proverbs to “build wisdom’s house,” showing how God invites us to lay foundations of understanding, set up pillars of character, and dwell in a life shaped by His Word. Each class uses vivid imagery to contrast wisdom and folly, urging listeners to choose wisely, build securely, and live with purpose. The lessons are practical and searching, offering both encouragement and challenge to young and old alike who wish to see their lives reflect the dwelling place of God.

Class 1 – Builder and Maker of the House

The opening session sets the theme by pointing to God as the ultimate builder, the one who has designed His house from the beginning. It explores how disciples are called to be fellow builders with Him, shaping lives that will stand strong in the storms of life and in the day of His kingdom.

Class 2 – Plan and Design of the House

Here the focus is on the blueprint of wisdom’s house. Using the rich metaphors of Proverbs, the class uncovers how God has laid out a pattern for holiness, integrity, and discernment. Believers are urged to follow His design rather than the false plans of the world, knowing only His wisdom can make the house secure.

Class 3 – Foundation and Pillars of the House

This lesson considers the stability that comes from a strong foundation and pillars. Drawing from the seven pillars of wisdom described in Proverbs, Brother Stan highlights the qualities that give strength to a spiritual life—justice, righteousness, and truth. These enduring supports make wisdom’s house a safe dwelling for God’s people.

Class 4 – The Rival Feasts

In this class, the contrast between wisdom and folly comes to the forefront. Listeners are taken into the vivid scene of two rival feasts, one calling to life and understanding, the other to sin and destruction. The choice between these two voices is set before every disciple, and the lesson presses the urgency of choosing wisely.

Class 5 – Gate of the Entrance

Attention turns to the gates of wisdom’s house, where decisions are made and paths chosen. The imagery emphasizes the importance of guarding one’s steps, entering into God’s house with humility, and allowing wisdom to guide daily conduct. The gate is not wide and careless but narrow and purposeful, leading to life.

Class 6 – Fools and Friends

The series closes with practical counsel on relationships, showing how companions can either build up or tear down wisdom’s house. Through the Proverbs, Brother Stan illustrates the danger of folly’s companions and the blessing of Godly friendship, urging listeners to seek out those who strengthen faith and character.
