Proverbs

I recently had a conversation with a person who has a tendency to shift the blame for things that happen to them on other people. This is a young person and many young people have not matured to the point where they accept the full implications/ramifications of their actions.

This morning we continue our series, “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing with our mini-series entitled, “Grace Based Success (Prosperity)”.

(Read Exodus 3:15-17) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing to look at the life of Moses. Yesterday we took a look at God’s primary name: Yahweh or Jehovah. In the message we learned that Jehovah is the Lord of our past, our present, and our future. He is the God of our already, of our right now, and of our not yet.

(Prov 28:14 NLT) Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble. This morning we continue our “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God” series. In this verse Solomon goes back to a reoccurring theme in scripture: the fear of the Lord. While this may be a theme in scripture, it does not seem to be mentioned much today.

This morning we close out our mini-series on “Purpose and Vision” by looking at a few things Solomon said about our plans God’s purpose.

(Prov 27:2 NIV) Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips. This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.”

(Prov 26:11 GW) As a dog goes back to its vomit, so a fool repeats his stupidity. This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Solomon is very good at painting pictures for us.

This morning we cotinue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” I am sure we have all met people who love to argue; who find a level of enjoyment from stating a point, building a case, and attempting to counter every counterargument.

(Prov 24:13,14 GNB) My child, eat honey; it is good. And just as honey from the comb is sweet on your tongue, you may be sure that wisdom is good for the soul. Get wisdom and you have a bright future.

(Prov 24:8,9 GNB) If you are always planning evil, you will earn a reputation as a troublemaker. Any scheme a fool thinks up is sinful. People hate a person who has nothing but scorn for others.

(Prov 22:3 NLT) A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Solomon often compared the actions of the righteous with those of the wicked in his writings.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Solomon hated liars. He spoke out about this many times in Proverbs.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” In Solomon’s time offering sacrifices to God was often a very public event.

(Prov 21:26 AMP) He covets greedily all the day long, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous gives and does not withhold. [II Cor. 9:6-10.]

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Another reoccurring theme in Proverbs is the importance of diligent work.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Today’s society is all about ‘getting, getting, getting.’

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” The Bible is chock-full of instruction concerning the importance of our words.

(Prov 21:22 TNIV) One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust.

(Prov 21:21 NLT) Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor.
