No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Proverbs 31:30

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 

Join Pastor Andy Addis and his wife Kathy for a discussion of the value and worth of God‘s word. Also, the protective nature of the One who gave it to us!

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. 

Even though we are in a political world, we are spiritual beings. God has placed authorities over us, and we should do our best to live under those authorities. But we must remember that we are first and foremost under God’s authority and we should live in a way that honors that above all else. 

Proverbs 28:13-14

13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. 14 Blessed is the one who fear the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Join Pastor Andy and Kathy as they unpack Proverbs chapter 28 on their journey through the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 27:5-7

5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. 7 One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet. 

When you love someone and you don’t want them to hurt, sometimes you have to say the hard things because if a person’s love is genuine, they will not fear to tell a friend about a  fault or correct them.

Proverbs 26:20-22

For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. 21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. 

Fires burn only because you put fuel into the fire. And even though Gossip is as delicious as a morsel, we must check ourselves so that we are not adding fuel to the fire. 

Proverbs 25:28

A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

Self control is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s not about your discipline or effort, it’s about leaning into the Holy Spirit. This proverb is all about self control and the effects of not having that self control.

Laziness is seen when you lack in caring for what you have. We all desire for God to bless us, but He sees how we treat the gifts He has given us. The passage isn’t about working for salvation, it’s about honor the blessing God has given to you.

Proverbs 24:30-34

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, 31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns; the ground was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. 32 Then I saw and considered it;

I looked and received instruction. 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 34 and poverty will come-on you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
