In this Sunday Bible study from Eagle Pass, I kick off our ongoing series in Proverbs by unpacking Proverbs 11:30—“he that winneth souls is wise.” We explore the difference between knowledge and wisdom, why true wisdom comes from God, and how soul-winning is a spiritual contest shaped by unseen forces (Ephesians 6). I walk through practical, memorable lessons from Proverbs 30—learning preparation from the ant, security in the Rock (Christ) like the coney, banded boldness like the locust, and strategic persistence like the spider. Along the way, we trace Paul’s model of persuasion, the eternal value of the soul, and how simple Scripture and sincere relationships can lead others to Christ. We close by encouraging listeners to anchor in the King James Bible, prepare for the Judgment Seat of Christ, and embrace the joy of leading someone to the Lord. I also share updates on upcoming guests and our plan to teach dispensations after Proverbs, and I encourage you to connect with us through the website for questions and ideas for future studies. Thanks for spending your Sunday evening with us—let’s set the tone for the week with God’s wisdom and a heart for souls.
