When God called Moses from the burning bush, fear immediately became a barrier. Moses doubted his abilities, questioned God’s choice, and let his insecurities nearly keep him from stepping into the assignment God had prepared for him. Like Moses, we often feel inadequate or overwhelmed by fear when God calls us to something greater. But God’s response to Moses is the same for us: “I will be with y...

Where is God calling you to go?

Fear isn’t something to ignore—it’s something to confront, prepare for, and reframe. Peter’s bold step out of the boat wasn’t foolish—it was faithful. But the moment he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the storm, he began to sink. Through this powerful moment in Scripture, we’re learning three truths: fear will sink you, fear thrives when we lose focus, and we win the battle over fear when w...

In our culture we perceive every situation through the lines of “in-group” and “out-group”. At a football game, who are “my people”? At school, where are my friends? In family gatherings or at work, where are the people on my side of the arguments? Most of the time, we are looking inside of our circle of allies for validation and encouragement while we make every effort to completely ignore those...

Have you ever felt unworthy of someone’s love or attention? Our sense of self-worth can be dictated by our own past sin or by how we perceive that others see us. This was the case with Saul, the Pharisee who relentlessly murdered Christians in the name of upholding the Jewish law. Upon encountering the risen Christ, his life is radically changed. As God speaks a new identity into his life, Saul be...

Have you ever feared a serious diagnosis? Sickness can come with physical as well as social implications, and that was the case with leprosy in the ancient world—it was not only a death sentence, leprosy also led to exclusion and isolation. Naaman was a very highly respected commander of the Syrian army who had earned the applause of the world with his success, but he was also a repulsive leper. U...

Have you ever felt desperate? Whether you need help in finances, provision, health, or any other area of life, desperation can lead you to do unusual and sometimes unflattering things. In first-century Palestine, certian medical issues resulted in some of the most vulnerable because they were left without legal rights or a way to provide for themselves. The woman with the issue of blood was so des...

Proverbs discusses wealth and poverty, teaching that wealth gained through righteous means is a blessing, whereas ill-gotten gains bring trouble. It also highlights the importance of generosity and fairness, noting that true wealth involves more than just material riches.

The book offers advice on various aspects of family life and interpersonal relationships, including marriage, parenting, and friendships. It emphasizes the virtues of a good wife, the responsibilities of husbands, and the value of loyal and honest friends.

A strong work ethic is lauded throughout Proverbs. The diligent are rewarded with prosperity and stability, while the lazy (often described as "sluggards") face poverty and insecurity. Proverbs teaches that success often stems from hard work and prudent management.

Righteousness is more than doing good—it’s living in sync with God’s heart. The book frequently contrasts the righteous and the wicked, detailing the blessings of righteous living and the consequences of wicked behavior. It underscores that righteousness is not only right in God's eyes but also the most beneficial way to live.
