    This book of Proverbs is a fathers’ counsel to his son. Every young person and young at heart ought to read a verse from this book on a daily basis. This book speaks to life and how it can be lived.

    Living the Life Series: Proverbs For Living (PFL) Scripture Reference: Proverbs 2:1 – 10 Introduction We are a culture that is overwhelmed with acronyms, initials, abbreviations, and catchy phrases that paint the picture or tell the story of people, places, or things. There is no shortage of ...read more

    This message is a broad introduction to Proverbs 2:1-5 and focuses on: The Spirit of this Age, Spiritual Fathers and Long-term vision

    My Son…if… Proverbs 2:1-5 Intro.: These words of Solomon in Proverbs 2 are directed toward his son, but they are also a directive from the Lord to his children. When God says “My son”, our hearts should awaken to His wholehearted devotion to us, just like the prodigal’s father in Luke 15:20, ...read more

    Your Struggle With Authority Series

     | 3,477 views

    God puts us in this world with a small subset of the human race to begin relating to. Our parents are the first representatives of fallen humanity that we meet and our first model for authority figures that we’ll meet later in life.

    Introduction Jesus said that the commandments are summed up in the dual command, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbour as yourself." Well today we come to the fifth commandment. This seems to be about loving your neighbour, but it’s one of the ...read more

    Inclining And Applying - Part 2

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,213 views

    As the Word exposes areas within us that are in direct opposition to the Word of God, we begin to understand the price of inclining to His Word and applying those principles.

    Inclining and Applying - Part 2 – Proverbs 2:2 Intro.: Last week we looked at the “inclining” portion of our text. As we set our lives before the Word of God, we will find delight in the eternal Word who lives inside of us. We will also become aware of the bitter war going on within our members. ...read more

     | 4,316 views

    If we truly want to be changed, we must begin dealing effectively with the issues that affect our lives. If we need radical surgery, don’t settle for a bandaid. Let’s “incline our ears” to the full truth of God’s Word

    Inclining and Applying God’s Word – Part 1 – Proverbs 2:2 Intro: We have focused on “receiving & treasuring the Word and as we see in today’s text, this is for a purpose: “so that you may…” One precedes the other. We must receive God’s Word and treasure it before we can truly “incline” & “apply”. ...read more

    If We Cry Out…

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Aug 21, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,940 views

    “Crying out” stirs something up in the heart of God. It moves God to action on our behalf. 100’s of times throughout the Psalms, David cried out to God & called the people to do the same.

    If We Cry Out… - Proverbs 2:3 Intro.: We have focused on the first “if” of Proverbs 2: Receiving, Treasuring, Inclining & Applying. Now we’re ready to move on to the second “if”. We’ll find that this 2nd level is more aggressive. 1st we were called to “silence”. Now, we’re commanded to “cry out” & ...read more

    Seeking And Searching

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,557 views

    God uses the seeking and searching as the purifying fire that prepares us to receive what we find. Through our seeking and searching, we are changed into the people who can steward and be trusted with the deep things of God’s heart.

    Seeking and Searching – Proverbs 2:4-5 Intro.: The last “if” of Proverbs 2 describes the lifestyle & wisdom of going after the knowledge of God: “If you seek her as silver & search for her as hidden treasure...” I’ve referred to the spirit of revelation several times throughout this series. Eph. ...read more

     | 1,989 views

    If we don’t understand the purpose of the Word, we’ll miss out on the life of God. Through His Word, God transforms us more into his likeness. Every word in scripture is a doorway to the heart of God and a stairway into the realms of God.

    Receiving and Treasuring – Proverbs 2:1 Intro.: The first focus that Solomon lays out has to do with the way we treat the Word of God. Proverbs 2:1 – “…if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you…” The “receiving” refers to how we posture ourselves before the Word of God and ...read more

    This is a short sermon on raising children, on parenting

    We are beginning a sermon series on Proverbs. I was going to call it “The High Way of Wisdom” because the book of proverbs uses that image: there is a wise path and a foolish path to follow in life. Proverbs 16:17 “The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his ...read more

    The Proverbs writer instructs us to search for wisdom and understanding as if you were searching for hidden treasure.

    Finding God’s Treasure -In God’s Word- Proverbs 2:1-8 There was a man called Heinrich Schliemann, who as a boy read a translation of Homer’s account of the defeat of Troy by the Greeks. In the latter part of the last century scholars largely held that Homer’s "Iliad" was entirely fictitious and ...read more

    We make choices everyday and in order to make the best decisions we need to seek God’s wisdom. This was delivered on graduation Sunday.

    Illustration The faculty of a college were in their annual meeting when, suddenly, an angel appeared. Turning to the Dean, the angel said, "I will grant you one of three choices -- infinite wisdom, infinite wealth or infinite health." The Dean thought for a minute, then replied "Wisdom." "So be ...read more

    Proverbs is a tool for building wisdom in family and among friends. What a great book of choices!

    Do any of you dads here feel like you should have a heart to heart talk with your sons or daughters? (Raise your hands). I wonder how many of us dads here today feel very confident in this area. How many dads would like a good tool to help with this? Many men are just not big on deep ...read more

    A short lesson on the mind of Christ. Great for a devotional or small group

    Tonight I want to talk about following the spirit inside you I grew up Baptist- no one ever really said “God told me!” “I think the Lord’s telling us to do …this!” That’s why so many church adopt “We’ve never done it that way” “That will never work” “We tried that once, it didn’t work” We ...read more

    (Devotional Series 6/50) In these verses we learn three things about wisdom. 1.IT HAS TO BE SOUGHT BY MAN;2.IT HAS TO BE GIVEN BY GOD;3.IT HAS TO BE APPLIED TO LIFE.

    TRUE WISDOM Proverbs 2:1-15 (Devotional Series 6) It is difficult to find a precise definition for the word "wisdom" which appears so often in this book. Sometimes it is almost personnified, and some have equated it with the Holy Spirit. It is probably more exact to say that it is meant to ...read more
