Proverbs 4-6
---
In this episode of the Reverberate Podcast, Did Solomon's Life Undermine His Wisdom?, Pastor Jed, Pastor Isaias, and Jason wrestle with the tension between Solomon’s God-given wisdom and the tragic way his life ended. Drawing from Proverbs 4–6 and 1 Kings 11, they explore how a man who wrote so clearly about guarding the heart and avoiding destructive relationships could later fall so deeply into sin himself. The conversation examines the difference between knowing wisdom and living it out, the role of God’s providence in Solomon’s story, and how his failure actually reinforces the central message of Proverbs: that wisdom is not a one-time choice but a lifelong path. They also reflect on how believers can still learn from the words of a man who didn’t finish well, and what it means to stay soft-hearted, humble, and dependent on God to the very end.

In this sermon, Jed Gillis explores the theme of counsel through the lens of Proverbs, highlighting how God uses wise counsel to shape our lives. He begins by showing that counsel is essential for seeking safety, success, honor, and wisdom, reminding us that self-deception often results from neglecting the insights of others. Gillis explains that biblical counsel is more than expert advice; it is the relational sharing of advice, correction, and encouragement among believers.
He warns against common pitfalls: ignoring others' perspectives, hating correction, blindly trusting our own judgment, and accepting all counsel indiscriminately. Instead, he urges listeners to build godly community by seeking and giving wise counsel that is both relational and honest. He emphasizes that true counsel aligns with God's wisdom, not just human opinions, and that it requires humility and openness.
Gillis concludes by encouraging believers to examine their lives: Are they walking in authentic Christian community where counsel is shared and received? Do they actively pursue wisdom by seeking God’s perspective first? The sermon calls for humble dependence on God’s wisdom, lived out through relationships that build one another up in faith.

Proverbs 4-6
---
In this episode of Reverberate, "The Heart Behind Our Words", Pastors Jed and Isaias join Jason to explore how Proverbs reveals the deep connection between our words and the condition of our hearts. Drawing from Proverbs 4:20–24, they discuss how God’s words are meant to shape our hearts, and how a heart transformed by God will produce speech that reflects His character. They examine how recurring speech patterns—whether marked by pride, fear, or bitterness—can reveal areas of the heart that still need renewal.
The conversation also highlights the role of confession, not just as a means for forgiveness, but as a God-given tool for transformation. Confession helps realign the heart with God’s truth, turning devious or careless speech into words that bring life. Through examples from Scripture and personal experience, the discussion emphasizes how guarding the heart and submitting to God’s Spirit leads to speech that honors Him and reflects His wisdom.

43:52 Jesus Took the Condemnation for Every Foolish Word You Have Spoken
---
In his sermon *Words and Wounds*, Pastor Jed Gillis explores how speech reflects God's design and influences the lives of others. He explains that Proverbs 10 through 29 are not random sayings but reflect fixed patterns in God's creation. These patterns show us the difference between wisdom and foolishness. One of the clearest areas where these patterns play out is in the way we use words. Proverbs 18:21 says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Our words can bring healing, nourishment, and joy. They can also wound, divide, and destroy.
Pastor Jed emphasizes that God values honest and peace-driven speech. Lying lips are not just discouraged; they are called an abomination. This is because lies break trust and tear apart real relationships. They create isolation rather than community. Listening to lies is also condemned. Tolerating gossip or slander makes us complicit in spreading harm. Words matter not only because of what they say but also because of how they shape ideas, spread influence, and reveal the condition of the heart.
Proverbs teaches that wise speech has four key traits. It is honest, restrained, calm, and fitting for the situation. Pastor Jed encourages the congregation to think before speaking, speak less, and aim for words that bring peace. He reminds listeners that words should not be used to serve personal desires. Instead, they should serve others and reflect God’s truth and love.
The sermon also points to the deeper spiritual reality behind our words. Jesus said that the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. To change our words, we must ask God to change our hearts. Trying harder on our own is not enough. The gospel gives hope. Jesus never sinned in his speech. He spoke with perfect wisdom, kindness, and truth. At the cross, he bore the punishment for every careless, cruel, or dishonest word spoken by those who trust in him. Because of that, believers are counted as having a perfect record before God.
Pastor Jed closes with an invitation to let Jesus shape our words. When we trust in him and speak from hearts changed by grace, our words can become a fountain of life. They can comfort, build up, and reflect the heart of Christ to others.

Proverbs 9
Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn her seven pillars.
She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
She has sent out her young women to call
from the highest places in the town,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
To him who lacks sense she says,
“Come, eat of my bread
and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways, and live,
and walk in the way of insight.”
Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
and years will be added to your life.
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
The woman Folly is loud;
she is seductive and knows nothing.
She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
“Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
But he does not know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol. (ESV)

In his sermon Wisdom Works from Proverbs 9, Jon Farra draws a vivid contrast between the calls of wisdom and folly, emphasizing the life-altering outcomes of choosing one path over the other. Wisdom is portrayed as a gracious host who offers nourishment and life to the simple, calling them to leave their naïve ways and walk in insight. In contrast, folly mimics this invitation but leads her guests toward death and destruction. Farra highlights that both voices are always calling, often through influences like media, relationships, or personal habits. Only one leads to true life.
At the heart of the message is Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Farra presses into this idea, asking listeners to reflect on what they fear most and whether the fear of the Lord genuinely shapes their daily decisions. Wisdom begins not with clever strategies or self-improvement but with worshipful reverence and submission to God. Farra challenges the tendency to seek wisdom without seeking God himself, warning that this shortcut robs us of true transformation.
He weaves in modern illustrations, from advertising overload to personal stories of running and cheating in school, to show that we often respond to both wisdom and folly simultaneously in different areas of life. While we might reject obvious sin, we may still live passively with arrogance, apathy, or anxiety. These subtle forms of folly also need to be repented of. Farra encourages listeners to pursue spiritual habits, such as private prayer and heartfelt worship, that draw them deeper into a relationship with God.
Ultimately, Farra reminds the congregation that wisdom is not just information to gain but a Person to know: God himself. God invites us to leave our simple ways and live.

Proverbs 8
---
In *The Blueprints of Creation*, Jed Gillis explores Proverbs 8 to show that wisdom is not only accessible but deeply woven into the very structure of creation. Rather than being hidden or reserved for a select few, wisdom stands in public places like crossroads and city gates, calling out to everyone, including those who are simple or foolish. Gillis emphasizes that wisdom is more than practical advice. It reflects the relational, moral, and spiritual patterns that God has designed into the world. To live wisely means to align your life with those patterns in areas such as relationships, time, work, and speech.
Wisdom is not limited to those who already have their lives together. Instead, it extends a gracious invitation to anyone who will listen and learn. Gillis highlights how wisdom relates closely to knowledge, discernment, and values. Knowing how things work, noticing how things are, and holding to what matters most are all part of learning to walk in wisdom. But wisdom goes beyond these. It flows from the character of God himself.
He also shows that wisdom existed before creation. It was present when God laid the foundations of the world, like a master craftsman. This means wisdom is not a human invention or temporary tool. It is part of how the world was made and how it continues to function. The patterns we see, whether in nature, relationships, or daily decisions, are meant to reflect God’s wisdom. When we live in step with that, our lives flourish.
At its core, God's wisdom is not dry or mechanical. Gillis draws attention to the delight and joy found in Proverbs 8. Wisdom was with God, rejoicing in his creation and in the people he made. The foundation of reality is not conflict, chaos, or cold reason. It is joy. Gillis encourages us to respond to this call of wisdom by listening, trusting, and choosing to walk in it. For parents, and especially for mothers, he offers a reminder that teaching children how to live with discernment and joy is a sacred task that connects directly to God’s design for human flourishing.
Proverbs 8 is not just a call to live better. It is a call to see the world as God made it, full of meaning, beauty, and joy, and to walk in step with the wisdom that holds it all together.

---
Proverbs 7
---
In this message from Proverbs 7, Jed Gillis unpacks why turning from foolishness can be so difficult, even when its consequences are clear. The text warns that evil often doesn’t come looking like a threat; it looks like love. It flatters, appeals, and seduces by targeting our deepest desires, especially the longing to be loved and valued.
The passage uses the image of a cunning adulteress to show how sin disguises itself as something beautiful, but leads to death. Gillis draws out how this kind of “tactical flattery” works: it’s calculated, it plays on our insecurities, and it persuades us to act on impulse while dismissing the consequences. At the heart of the problem is the uncommitted person (the “simple” one) who flirts with temptation rather than being anchored in God’s truth. 
The remedy is clear: treasure God’s commands, engrave them on your heart, and marry wisdom like a lifelong partner. Wisdom, not flattery, offers real intimacy rooted in God’s goodness and protection. Believers are urged to quit flirting with God, avoid the paths where temptation prowls, and keep their eyes fixed on the tragic end of foolishness.

40:14 Three: God is Jealous for His bride
---
Proverbs 6
---
In his sermon Fire Always Burns from Proverbs 6, Jed Gillis shows how God's wisdom trains us to recognize patterns of life that lead to flourishing or destruction. Proverbs 6 teaches that foolishness often looks attractive or understandable, making it deceptively easy to embrace. Gillis walks through four examples: taking on risky financial obligations, embracing laziness, sowing discord, and falling into sexual sin. 
In each case, the text warns that while foolish choices may seem reasonable at first, they always carry serious consequences. Wisdom is not just about following a checklist, but about shaping a heart that can rightly assess any situation through God's truth. Gillis explains that God's commands are meant to protect us, shining light on the lies that temptation offers. Even when foolishness seems appealing or excusable, it still leads to ruin. Through it all, believers can trust in God's jealous, passionate love for His people. His love fights for their holiness and ultimate joy.

Proverbs 1-3

---

In this episode of *Reverberate*, Pastor Jed Gillis, Pastor Isaias Viñales, and Jason Harper engage in a deep, thoughtful discussion on Proverbs 1–3, focusing especially on the theme of the fear of the Lord. They unpack how this biblical concept differs from common fears, such as rejection, failure, or control, and how a proper understanding of godly fear draws us toward God, not away from Him. Rather than softening the word to "awe" or "honor," they argue that Scripture intentionally uses the word "fear" to convey God’s majesty and authority in a way that reshapes our lives.

The conversation explores how Proverbs, though written originally for Israelite princes, speaks to all believers by revealing patterns of wisdom rooted in creation. The team reflects on how Proverbs intersects with the Gospel, not as a manual for earning salvation, but as a call to live wisely by grace through faith. They emphasize humility, the need for correction, and the heart posture of those who fear the Lord.

They also address what it means for God to "make straight your paths" in Proverbs 3:6, comparing different translations and interpretations. Rather than promising ease or clarity, the passage assures believers that God’s guidance is purposeful and trustworthy, even when the road ahead feels confusing.

Ultimately, the episode encourages believers to acknowledge God in all areas of life, live in humble trust, and fear Him more than anything else, not in dread, but in loving reverence that transforms how we live

23:18 The Resurrection Brings Peace

Romans 4:13–25
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. (ESV)
---
In Raised to End All Restlessness, Jed Gillis draws from Romans 4:13–25 to show that the resurrection of Jesus is not just a story that can change you—it must change you. By pointing to strong historical evidence for the resurrection, Gillis challenges listeners to see that Jesus’ victory over death demands a response of faith. The resurrection proves three life-changing truths: hopelessness is never true, Jesus is active for His people now and forever, and God's promises are backed by infinite power. Like Abraham, who trusted God to bring life out of barrenness, believers are called to rest in the risen Christ. Because Jesus was raised for our justification, peace with God is possible, replacing all restlessness with true, lasting hope. Gillis closes by urging listeners to trust fully in the living Lord, whether for the first time or as a daily return to the peace Christ alone provides.
