Will you allow the scars of Jesus to bring you forgiveness and freedom?

Throughout our study of Proverbs we have seen how wisdom is something that helps us navigate our world well. But it does more than this. Godly wisdom ultimately prepares us for the world that Christ is building and which he will bring to its fullness. A truly wise person knows that though there is much in this world to be admired, the things of this world will ultimately not satisfy.

An interesting trend that we find today is that many people want love and companionship, but not marriage. Yet one of the things that Scripture highlights over and over again is that the best romantic relationships are ones in which love and law are combined: a covenant. A life-long partnership that enables us to become the best version of ourselves in a relationship unlike any other. But what constitutes a good marriage?

Proverbs 1:8-9, 4:3, 6:20, 10:1, 31:10-31 | Ephesians 5:21-33

Proverbs has quite a bit to say about money and wealth, but one theme that runs throughout the book is the balance that we are called to have when it comes to work and wealth; namely, that both are gifts from God to be enjoyed and appreciated, but not clung to.

Scripture: Proverbs 3:9-10, 10:15, 12:24, 14:23 & 31, 16:16 & 26, 17:1, 21:17, 22:2 & 9, 28:6 & 11 & 27, 30:7-9 | Matthew 6:19-34

So what does it mean to be a person of wisdom?

Scripture: Proverbs 4:14-26, 15:4, 16:2, 20:5 & 9, 27:19

The benefits of wisdom are countless. Just a brief survey of them can be found in the opening chapters of the book of Proverbs: insight, discretion, prudence, knowledge, peace, and prosperity, to name just a few. But the one thing that the author of Proverbs notes is that all of this begins with “the fear of the Lord.” It seems like a strange thing to say. Why fear? Why not love?

One of the most well known places to go for wisdom in the Bible is the book of Proverbs. Unfortunately, very few of us actually know how to read them.

Scripture: Proverbs 9:1-18

Five principles for a new year.

This Christmas eve message was recorded live at Trinity Green trails on Saturday, December 24, 2022.

The fourth and final week of Advent is the week of “Love.” We live in a world where the word “Love” is thrown around a lot but the actual thing seems to be in short supply. Too often the love we give to one another is conditional, based on what we have done or failed to do. This is why the final title of Jesus that we are focusing on is so important, because it bears within it a sign of just how unconditional Jesus’ love for us is
