In his sermon on Proverbs 25–29, Stephen Davey explains that these collected proverbs—preserved centuries later under King Hezekiah—provide practical wisdom for everyday life. Solomon offers guidance on handling conflict wisely, warning against rushing to court, fueling gossip, or damaging one’s reputation through careless words. Davey highlights repeated cautions against pride, self-promotion, and boasting about tomorrow, reminding believers that God alone controls outcomes. These chapters also stress honest self-examination, integrity, and humility, showing that the heart ultimately reveals true character. Davey concludes that God preserved these proverbs out of love, providing timeless instruction so His people can make the right decisions for the right reasons in His presence.
