You'll leave with practical ways to speak life this week: trading reckless words…
What if wisdom isn't one big decision but a daily path you choose one step at a time? Walking through Proverbs 4, along with Proverbs 3:5-6 and Proverbs 9:10, this message shows why God's wisdom is woven into the fabric of reality, how small compromises pull us onto the path of folly, and how the fear of the Lord sets us on the path of the righteous that shines "brighter and brighter until full…
