Is love really love when it's not coupled with discernment? A lot of Christians seem to think so, unfortunately. 

What is our hope in this life and the next? How do we even know we're Christians, given how weak and sinful we often are? Find out the answers, as Jake preaches through Philippians 1:6.

If anybody talked today like the Apostle Paul talks in Philippians 1, would we like it? Or we would find them overbearing and super spiritual? How do we create the kind of Christian community that makes such warmth and tenderness natural?

You will think of Philippians (along with the whole conception of joy and rejoicing) one way at the beginning of this sermon, and another way at the end!

Who will you serve: Wisdom or Folly? And if you are fool, will you be the proud kind or the teachable kind? Everyone has to choose, as Pastor Jake preaches to us from Proverbs 9...

Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God, and that's one of the keys to understanding the entire book of Proverbs, as Nathan shows us in Proverbs 8.

King Solomon was the son of a marriage that began in adultery and murder, so he knew what he was talking about in Proverbs 7 when he warned again against Lady Folly.

Nobody loves reproof, but it's how God grows us, and we should be thankful for it when it happens. If we reject it, we make ourselves vulnerable to sin and death. 

Ben Sulser preaches to us from Proverbs 6:1-19 about three ways to mess up your life: to give your pledge to a stranger (yes, that applies to everybody), to be a sluggard, and to be a worthless, wicked person.

The Bible takes sexual sin seriously, not because sex is some terrible thing, but rather because sex is a great gift of God. For this reason, it has to be guarded diligently, as Pastor Jake taught us from Proverbs 5.
