Last sermon in the series on the things that God hates from Proverbs 6:12-19. This week as to sowing discord. 1) What is sowing discord?, 2) What does it do? and 3) How to confront/defeat it.

Continuing in the series, today a look at 1) wickedness, 2) wisdom, and 3) a graceful garland.

From Proverbs 6 we are told that there are six things which God hates, seven that are an abomination to Him. In this series a look at each of these, and this week in regard to "words" and some differences between righteous and wicked use of them.

1) What is the heart? 2) Reorienting/reshaping the heart. 3) Who has my heart?

The allure of pride and arrogance, the damage it does, and the remedy.

We must ask God to reveal the idols and problems of our heart and let Him show us how to live in this current culture and time. We must ask God for and seek wisdom.

God in His abundant mercy and grace called us and gave us a new name.

Why we as believers baptize our children.

Paul identified himself, as we are who are in Christ, as an "ambassador in chains." The sermon, the last in the series from Ephesians, has us consider 1) Who we are; 2) What we do; and 3) Why we are who we are and do what we do.

Prayer is essential to our core identity as God's children and to being in close communion with God.
