One of the greatest advantages you have as a disciple is the wealth of knowledge, insight and experience available from all the other disciples in the church. These individuals have experienced a lot personally or have helped many people through tough or challenging situations in life and want to be there to offer help (or advise) to you. We came to God by letting Him use others to help us see the truth, and we will grow stronger and closer to God by letting others continue to help us. Getting advise will be of tremendous help to you in your Christian walk. This study will help you see how God uses advise to help you grow and your best for Him.

Our feelings and emotions can often mislead us and hurt us
  • Proverbs 16:25 - What seem or feels right is not always right; others can help you see that
  • Proverbs 19:2 - Be zealous, but make sure you have the correct information
We need to realize our weaknesses and limitations
  • Proverbs 12:15 - Wise people let others in their lives and listen to input
  • Proverbs 12:1 - Getting advise and being corrected in your thinking is very wise
