     | 5,752 views

    Fathers today are seen as little more than another child for the wife to take of. We have lowered the expectation of dads to an all time low. But dads, fathers are so very needed.

    INTRODUCTION: How important are a father’s words of wisdom? How valuable is a father's presence in the lives of his children? How necessary is a father's influence as compared to his income or him providing for his family? How many of you remember the old song “Cat’s in the cradle”? ...read more

    What is godliness? Who even uses this term “godly” today to describe fellow Christians in the church? Is this something that we personally aspire to? Yet this is what we read throughout the book of Proverbs as how we should live - to know [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction; to discern and ...read more

    Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

    Guard your Heart Proverbs 4: 1-27 Biblical authors claim that the kings of Israel and Judah were divinely chosen and that they were expected to abide by the Mosaic covenant (see, for example, Deut 17:14-17, 1Sam 8-12, 1Kgs 2:3-4). Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,422 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more
