Empowering People

Pastor Travis teaches from Luke 5:27-32. Jesus is the great physician who has come to heal the world through the power of the gospel.

Proverbs definitely encourages us to plan and prepare for our expected futures, but we also have Prov. 27:1 which tells us the proper attitude to have about our futures.

The malicious person expends a lot of energy and focus attempting to trap or harm their target prey. But Proverbs 26:27 assures us that these wicked people will fall into their own traps. Does this happen in the real world?

Proverb's editor but Prov. 26:23-26 together is a warning to us all. These four verses are strongly worded warnings about a specific type of person who disguises himself as a good friend but in the end is wicked.

Pastor Travis sharing from Luke 5 this morning.

Proverbs 26:17 gives a vivid picture of someone inserting themselves into a dispute between others and getting "bitten" for it. Yes we are called to be peacemakers, but peacemakers are required to be wise and careful. What motivates us to insert ourselves into quarrels, fights, or disagreements that are not our own?

Monday morning's devotional comes from Romans 5:12-17 and the subject of Jesus as the second Adam.

Proverbs 26:12 compares two people and says that one of them (wise in own eyes guy) has less chance of becoming righteously wise than the other (a fool), who has poor chances to begin with. Why is it so hard for them? How can we become more righteously wise?
