Sermon Title: Godly Wisdom Needed for Maturity

Sermon Text: James 1:5-8 (ESV)

Sermon Outline:

• God is the source of wisdom (v. 5)
• How to ask for godly wisdom (v. 6)
• The one who lacks wisdom (v. 7)
• The result of worldly wisdom (v. 8)

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
