Wisdom Calls: In Praise of the Strong Woman Proverbs 31 As humans, we love to celebrate. Even when the world feels heavy or dark, we still find reasons to commemorate birthdays, milestones, and anniversaries. We’ve even created enough national holidays to fill every day of the year – some of the silliest include National Talk Like a Pirate Day, National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, and National…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes Proverbs 7 There are certain realities in life that are so obvious we rarely think to acknowledge them. A seed cannot grow without water, a car cannot drive without tires, and for some, coffee isn’t coffee if it’s decaf. These are givens – truths that almost go without saying. In the same way, God created human sexuality to operate within the…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes (Part 6) Wisdom Protects Proverbs 6 Medieval battle strategies used to look vastly different from the ones we rely on today. What has become electronic and invisible in modern warfare was once expressed through shields, helmets, and carefully forged armor. Every piece was crafted by a blacksmith with a specific purpose in mind: to protect the…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes Sexual Fulfillment: Trap or Treasure Proverbs 5 Imagine this: You’re driving home after a long day, ready to collapse on the couch. You pass a billboard that depicts a perfectly crafted, double-patty cheeseburger, waiting for you at exit 5. You resist until you get home, open the fridge, and find only the salad ingredients you promised yourself…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes (Part 4) How the Gospel Makes us Wise Proverbs 4 In 1994, evangelical author Jerry Bridges wrote a simple yet profound phrase: “Preach the gospel to yourself every day.” The phrase has echoed through churches around the world because it captures something our hearts desperately need. We are easily distracted, easily discouraged, and easily…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes Proverbs 3 Our world is saturated with messages of self-reliance. In a single day you might drive past a billboard shouting “Just do it!”, wander through a bookstore aisle labeled “Self-Help”, watch a movie where the underdog climbs his way to the top through sheer grit, and finish the evening with a 30-second clip from an influencer urging you…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes Picture this: A woman walks out of a store with grocery bags stacked up both arms. Her hands are shaking, items are slipping, and the door in front of her seems impossible to open. Bystanders step in to help, but she insists, “No, I’ve got it.” In reality, she doesn’t. It’s easy to feel frustrated imagining this unfolding before you. We want to…
Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes (Part 1) Proverbs 1 As you settle into bed, you pick up your phone for a quick scroll. Your intentions are harmless. You just want to catch up on the world or maybe even learn something new. “Cut off your toxic friends immediately,” one influencer demands. You swipe. “Vegetables are actually inflammatory and will give you arthritis,” claims a…
The Calling of Congregational Worship (Part 2) Worship: More Than Music, a Life of Worship Whether you are a new believer or have been walking in the faith for years, we’ve all stepped into a church for the first time. Maybe you noticed people raising their hands, kneeling or singing at the top of their lungs. Perhaps you felt a bit timid about singing out loud, or maybe you just aren’t an…
The Believer’s True Worship (Part 1) Worship: More Than Music, a Life of Worship We give things up all the time. Marriage involves giving up certain comforts and conveniences to care for another person. Parenting requires giving up sleep, time, and personal space for the sake of a child. Generosity implies giving up money and possessions to meet the needs of others. But Scripture invites us into…
Our Turn with Guest Speaker David Nelms The Timothy Initiative “It’s my turn!” a child shouts from the top of the playground slide. After watching others race down the long curving slide with laughter and joy, he finally steps forward. He’s seen what’s possible and now it’s finally his moment. Scripture shows how God has been moving His story forward, generation after generation. From the very…
