Wisdom and the Fear of the Lord
Good evening. Tonight we are going to be continuing our little short, one-sermon series on the wisdom books in the Old Testament that we have entitled “Wisdom for the New Year.” It’s my privilege tonight to look at least at a little bit, a very high fly-over, if you will, of the book of Proverbs….
The Friend You Are, The Friend You Need
Let’s pray. Hallelujah, what a savior, hallelujah, what a friend. Our heavenly Father, we give You praise for the Lord Jesus Christ who has been to us, not only our savior, but the friend that sticks closer than a brother. We thank You that You have not kept us at arm’s length, but you have…
Raising the Next Generation: Parenting In Proverbs
Let’s pray again. Father, it is with somewhat of a heavy heart that we come this morning, those of us aware of the events in our country again just yesterday, reminding us of the importance of a topic like this, thinking of the next generations, and the way that you might use us to shape…
Proverbs: Peace and Contentment
Rev. Nathan George: I was planning this service, my subject being peace and contentment.

Proverbs: In the Hands of the Lord

The Power of Our Words
Well, good morning. A number of you have noticed that I’m wearing glasses up here on the platform and wondered why. It’s a simple answer: I can’t see very well. [laughter] I discovered that around Easter that I was struggling to read and lead you in worship, and so I thought, mmm, maybe it’s time…
Priorities and Profits
Let’s pray. O Lord, we ask now that You give us attentive minds and hearts, for we have no interest in wasting our time, simply enduring another sermon. We’re here, and so teach us something. Convict us of sin, help us to know how to live for you, show us more of Christ. We pray…
The Fool and His Fights
Our heavenly Father, as we come now to your word, we pray not merely out of habit but out of a great sense of need. We ask that we would not be wasting our time. You take no delight in hundreds or thousands of people gathering together, dressing up, coming to church that we may…
