Selected Proverbs

Selected Proverbs I am well acquainted with being humbled. With such a topic today I have an even greater motivation to cast myself on the One who can, even though often we can’t. The Bible makes some potent and precious promises to “the humble.” As I mount the sacred desk I am reminded of the

Proverbs 9 Solomon here is summing up the previous chapters and setting the stage for the rest of the book by encouraging his son to marry and be enthralled by wisdom. He has been building to this point where he sets before his son a choice between two contrasting ways and asks him to make

Proverbs 8

Proverbs 7 Well, we have another sermon on this topic. But that’s because Proverbs talks about it again. We are going through the first nine chapters of Proverbs, which form a unit, and serve as foundation for the rest of the book. And within these foundational chapters the father repeatedly addresses his son on this

Proverbs 5 View this week’s worship guide We’re going to talk about sex today, and specifically the folly of adultery and the wisdom of sex within the covenant of marriage. I think there are a lot of reasons we avoid talking about sex. Here are a few: we think sexual purity and holiness includes avoiding

Proverbs 4 We love to consider our lives morally neutral for the most part – that God cares about whether we have our devotion or go to church or small group but not really about our hobbies or our dating or our jobs or our language or how we parent or how we spend our

Proverbs 2 View this week’s worship guide Today we are in Proverbs 2, and there are really only two main divisions of this proverb. There is the “if you will” section (vv. 1-4), and then the outcome or the “then you will” section (vv. 5-22). There is the admonition to “go hard” in pursuit for

Proverbs 1 View this week’s worship guide We turn to Proverbs because it’s inspired Scripture that teaches us about the Gospel; it teaches us about Christ, who is “the wisdom of God.” Proverbs should call us not simply to know the right things, but to know the right person, Jesus Christ, who says “Come follow

Philippians 4:10-23 View this week’s worship guide In this particular passage, we find a wonderful theology of giving and receiving, in which everyone, pastor and member alike, should consider closely. The Philippians are models of giving, and Paul is a model of receiving. We should pay close attention to them both.

Philippians 4:1-9 View this week’s worship guide I almost entitled this section “Stuff Christians Deal With” because Paul addresses several common problems Christians face. So, do you have at least one problem in your life? How about one problem in your church? If your can answer “yes,” to these questions, then you can identify with

How do you live a single life through the lens of Scripture? How do you counsel singles as a married couple? These are two of the many questions answered in this short discussion on singleness. We hope that this will spur on further discussion in the church.

Philippians 3:12-21 View this week’s worship guide In Philippians 3:12-21, Paul uses an intense running analogy to describe the Christian life. Having described his passionate, all-consuming desire in verse 10, “to know Christ,” the apostle now tells the Philippians that he’s not stagnating. He’s not slowing down. He’s still running hard after Christ. Kent Hughes

Philippians 3:1-11 View this week’s worship guide What do you treasure? Is there anything of surpassing value? Is there anything that deserves our life-long, passionate pursuit? The answer is “yes.” Paul describes it in verse 8,”More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ

Philippians 2:19-30 To see the importance of this passage, consider two questions. First, why do we have a travel itinerary at all? Second, why is this travel itinerary in the middle of the book? By speaking about Timothy and Epaphroditus, Paul provides concrete examples of what he’s been talking about in the previous two chapters.

Philippians 2:12-18 View this week’s worship guide Hip hop knows glory. They know that glory is meant to be seen; glory is meant to be displayed. Hip hop has an embedded conviction–if you come from nothing, and finally get “everything”–flaunt it. Thus slang terms like …”floss,” “swag,”and “shine.” So if you got it, flaunt it.
