How to Become Wise
4 March 2010 
Novosibirsk Biblical Theological Seminary
Proverbs 1:1-7 - To become wise one should start with gaining the fear of God, which is the beginning of knowledge. Wisdom is not just making sensible decisions and having good advice. It is first about having a righteous life before God. Such a righteous life can only begin with recognizing God’s greatness and knowing Him (i.e. the fear of God).

How to Know God’s Will, part 3
25 February 2010 Minsk Theological Seminary
Has God revealed His will? How can we be sure our actions are pleasing to Him? For example, whom should I marry? Where should I study? What should I wear? How do I know God’s will in every step of my life? Sometimes His will is not that clear. It is not in heaven nor is it in the sea (Deut. 30:11-14). God does not hide His will from us, but sometimes we have to work hard to know what it is.
These sermons are about His will. How can one know God’s will? First, we’ll look at the misunderstandings in this area, and then we’ll talk about the most important things in relation to His will.
In this last sermon, Pastor Leonid Mikhovich looks at how the Bible reveals God’s will. Much of God’s will is to follow what He has clearly revealed through His word.

Returning to God Through Suffering
