Boaz and Ruth show us wisdom on the threshing floor, and how our Redeemer, Jesus, is nearer to us than we realize. Our series on The Way of Wisdom continues as we get closer to finishing the story and book of Ruth.

We are diving deeper into the book of Ruth to learn practical ways from the text HOW to apply wisdom. Our series on The Way of Wisdom continues through the story of Ruth and a new character, Boaz, in order for the both of them to point us to Jesus and Jesus' Way of life.

After laying the foundation for WHAT wisdom is, we now turn to the book of Ruth in our series to learn practical ways from the text HOW to apply wisdom. The story of Ruth begins in hopelessness, but in her pursuit of God's Way of Wisdom, the story offers a glimpse of hope that is only found in God and pursuing God's Way with God's people. Let's pursue wisdom together.

In Hebrews, the writers urges us to respond to the reality of Jesus with worship, and gives us practical ways to do so. We can respond with worship because God is faithful and the same yesterday, today, and forever!

This Fall semester, Element will learn about the Way of Wisdom that Jesus offers us to follow by exploring the first and last chapter of Proverbs, spending devotional time through the whole book, and studying the book of Ruth. Bryon closes our time together in Proverbs by unpacking Proverbs 31 in order to set us up for success to see how Ruth embodies wisdom and applies it to her own life...and how that ultimately points to Jesus as the fulfillment of wisdom!

This Fall semester, Element will learn about the Way of Wisdom that Jesus offers us to follow by exploring the first and last chapter of Proverbs, spending devotional time through the whole book, and studying the book of Ruth. Bryon kicks off our series in Proverbs 1 by giving us the lenses we need to navigate the Way of Wisdom.

After a great week at Mission Marietta 2025, Bryon recaps all that we talked about through Matthew 7:13-29. Looking through the narrative of the whole bible and this last part of the Sermon on the Mount, we learn here that Jesus offers us an invitation to walk with Him and follow His Way of life. Are you following The Way?

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus leaves his audience then and us today with a choice on what way of life we can pursue. After the crowds listened to Jesus, they responded by being amazed by His teaching AND authority, and so they followed His Way. What Way are you following?

Brandon led us through the next section of this last part of the Sermon on the Mount, and he talked about how Jesus' Way is the Way that leads to your life being on a firm foundation. What are you building your life on?

Haley taught on Night 2 of Mission Marietta 2025 about how we will encounter (or become) false teachers (wolves in sheep's clothing) on the Way of life that is hard. She showed us how we can live our lives thinking we are going down the right path, but be told by Jesus to depart from Him because He doesn't know us. Who are YOU becoming, and is it someone KNOWN by Jesus?
