Wednesday Night Gathering: The Posture of Wisdom

Oct 7, 2026  •  Pastor Steven Pettis Jr

What does wisdom actually look like? James teaches us that wisdom is not proven simply by what we know, but by the life we live and especially by the posture we carry toward others. Biblical gentleness is not weakness; it is strength submitted to God’s control. 


In “The Posture of Wisdom,” Pastor Steve explores how godly wisdom shapes the way we respond when we have the power to retaliate, when someone has genuinely wronged us, and even when correction is necessary. Through David’s response to Saul and Paul’s call to restore a fallen believer, we discover that spiritual maturity is revealed not merely in recognizing what is wrong, but in handling people with truth, humility, gentleness, and grace. 


The question isn’t only, “Was I right?” but, “How did I handle them when they were wrong?”
