He Who Alone is Worthy Phil. 4:8-9 Things to Think On Series #7

Proverbs 8:1-11 — Wisdom isn't whispering in the dark. She's standing in broad daylight, calling your name. You're the one who keeps choosing the shadows. This sermon addresses one of the most common secret struggles believers carry — living a double life, hiding sin in the dark while performing faith in the light. Preached from Proverbs 8:1-11, it sets Wisdom's public, daylight invitation directly against the woman of Proverbs 7, who worked the twilight, the shut door, the corner nobody was watching. If you've ever driven past your own Bible to get to your phone, or found it easier to hide a habit than to bring it into the light, this message was preached for you. Secret sin always looks for a door that stays dark. Wisdom has never once needed one. This expository preaching message continues our verse-by-verse series through Proverbs, connecting Proverbs 8:1-11 to Esther 3-4 and 7 (Haman's perverse mouth versus Mordecai's plain word) and Daniel 6 (praying with the windows open instead of scheming behind closed doors) — showing what a life built on truth looks like when nothing about it needs to be hidden. This verse-by-verse teaching through Proverbs walks through the text, explaining: - Why Wisdom deliberately stations herself in the five most public places in town - The contrast between Wisdom's plain speech and the flattering woman of Proverbs 7 - How Haman's "froward and perverse mouth" undid him in Esther 3 and 7 - Why Mordecai's plain, comfortless word to Esther saved a nation - How Daniel's open-window praying set him apart from his accusers' closed-door plotting - The illustration of the shipwrecked men who dug for gold and starved

The sermon defines sin as missing the mark of God's obedience and emphasizes that all people are sinners who cannot hide their transgressions from God. It redefines biblical prosperity not as material wealth, but as living in alignment with God's will and experiencing His favor. The central message urges listeners to stop covering up their sins and instead confess them to God and those they have wronged. By acknowledging sin and seeking reconciliation, individuals receive mercy and the opportunity for true spiritual success. The preacher concludes by inviting listeners to trust in Jesus for salvation and to live a life of integrity and obedience.

Wisdom calls, "Come to the Lord! Choose this day whom you will serve." Will you serve Wisdom? Will you follow Christ?

An exposition of Philippians 3:8 continuing a two-part series on the surpassing worth of the Christian's knowledge of Christ. Drawing on Paul's declaration that he counts all things as rubbish compared to knowing Christ Jesus his Lord, the sermon works through seven biblical reasons why this knowledge is of the highest order, completing the four reasons introduced in the morning sermon with three further grounds. Main points: - Christ is the one in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden - Christ is the object and ground of saving faith - Christ is the believer's sanctification and the pattern of holy living Scripture references: - Psalms 2:7-8; 16:11; 17:15; 110:1 - Proverbs 8:22-31 - Isaiah 11:1-5; 53:11 - Jeremiah 9:23-24; 31:31-34 - Daniel 12:3 - Matthew 11:27; 16:16-17; 17:1-8 - Luke 10:22 - John 1:1-4; 1:14; 3:36; 5:39-40; 6:68-69; 14:6; 17:3; 20:30-31 - Acts 4:12 - Romans 3:21-22; 8:29; 10:9-17 - 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:2; 13:12; 15:49 - 2 Corinthians 3:18; 4:6; 5:21 - Galatians 2:20 - Ephesians 1:17; 3:8-9; 3:14-19; 4:13-15 - Philippians 3:8-10 - Colossians 1:15-17; 2:2-3; 2:9; 3:10 - 1 Timothy 2:5 - Hebrews 1:1-3; 11:6 - 1 Peter 1:8 - 2 Peter 1:2-3; 3:18 - 1 John 5:11-12; 5:20 - Revelation 5:9-12 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-the-importance-of-our-knowledge-of-christ-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
