This morning we continue our series, “Grace that is Simply Amazing” by continuing with our new mini-series entitled, “Growing in Grace.”

(1 Samuel 18:1-3) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. This was a supernatural connection. The Bible says “there was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David.” The Bible goes on to say Jonathan “loved him as he loved himself.”

(Prov 27:10 NIrV) Don’t desert your friend or your father’s friend. And don’t go to your family when trouble strikes you. A neighbor nearby is better than a family member far away.

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Friends can be a very special part of your life.

(Prov 27:6 NLT) Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.”

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Most of us naturally react negatively to correction.

(Prov 27:3 GW) A stone is heavy, and sand weighs a lot, but annoyance caused by a stubborn fool is heavier than both.

(Prov 26:23-26 GNB) Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot. A hypocrite hides hate behind flattering words.

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Here Solomon continues to teach us about gossip.

(Prov 26:20&21 GNB) Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarreling stops. Charcoal keeps the embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep arguments alive.

(Prov 26:18&19 NLT) Just as damaging as a madman shooting a deadly weapon is someone who lies to a friend and then says, “I was only joking.”

(Prov 25:25 NIrV) Hearing good news from a land far away is like drinking cold water when you are tired.

This morning we get back to our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.”

(Prov 25:20 NLT) Singing cheerful songs to a person with a heavy heart is like taking someone’s coat in cold weather or pouring vinegar in a wound.

(Prov 25:19 NLT) Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on a lame foot.

(Prov 25:16,17 CEV) Eating too much honey can make you sick. Don’t visit friends too often, or they will get tired of it and start hating you.

(Prov 25:8 GNB) Don’t be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you wrong, what will you do then?

(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 23:20,21 NLT) Do not carouse with drunkards or feast with gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty, and too much sleep clothes them in rags.

(Prov 23:6-8 NLT) Don’t eat with people who are stingy; don’t desire their delicacies. They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it. You will throw up what little you’ve eaten, and your compliments will be wasted.
