Proverbs 31 : A Godly Woman A godly woman is a follower of Jesus, a lover of her husband, and a faithful mother to her children. Her beauty, value, and image, are found in Christ alone.

PROVERBS | A LIFE ROOTED IN GOD’S WIDSOM The manhood of Proverbs is marked by character, strength, and action (Proverbs 4:1-13, Proverbs 15:18-33, Proverbs 28:18-28). Yet our aim is neither manhood nor wisdom but Jesus Christ, “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24).

“Godly Speech” - Proverbs 15:1-4, 18:2-21 We are to steward our speech as a God-given instrument that reflects the gospel, and be responsible for what our speech causes in others.

“Wisdom in Behaviors” - Proverbs 23:15–35 Wisdom guides our behaviors in the freedom God gives us without abusing that freedom (which is sin). Stewardship is wise living.

Stewardship describes life in relationship with God. He is a good father who shares his wisdom with us, shepherds our hearts not just our behavior, and shapes our hearts to pursue what matters most.

Living in God’s Spiritual Kingdom frees us to pursue God’s holiness in our lives and in the lives of others.

Communion reminds us that Jesus has come. The advent of Jesus resets our picture of humanity, restores our everyday experience, and redeems our sin & brokenness.

Advent is a season of preparing room in our hearts for Jesus by rehearsing the gospel story each day. It can be a season of renewal and recalibration as we reorient, and reset life to revolve around God’s Story. Some call this ‘re-storying ou...

ADVENT: JOY Following Jesus does not guarantee a life free from pain or struggle, nor does it mean living now just waiting for eternity. Faith in Christ means finding our joy in Him no matter what life looks like.

The coming of Jesus is a message of God’s peace by God’s grace through God’s promised one who transforms his people into followers of Jesus who graciously pursue peace with others.

HOPE OF CHRISTMAS Jesus was born in the flesh so that we might see God. Through being made alive in Him (spiritually born) we have an inheritance reserved in heaven, a living hope guaranteed to us by Christ.

“Worship the King” Hebrews 13 The final thoughts in Hebrews are to take all that we have learned and put them into practice in the most effective way. It isn’t a list of moral behaviors but rather what transformation in Christ truly looks like in us.

JESUS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE Christians look to Jesus who endured suffering and pain in this world for us, so that we might be encouraged to endure hardship for the sake of reaching the lost around us.

Hebrews 11 Followers of Jesus share in a long, even ancient, history of the family of faith—men and women who received the grace of God, trusted the character of God, heeded the voice of God, and awaited the promises of God...to the very end.

At the Fall of Humanity, sin caused all human beings to be eternally separated from God. The gospel is God providing a way for human beings to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.

Hebrews teaches us that the promises of the gospel (new covenant) are built on the accomplishments of Jesus and the faithfulness of God. Consider Jesus as the mediator (attorney), God as judge, and the verdict as eternity.

Jesus, the King of Righteousness and the King of Peace, is a high priest forever. This is good news if you’re tired of broken leaders, broken promises, and broken laws.
