Proverbs 21

By Pastor Bryce I love how this chapter opens up. The first 4 verses deal with the heart of the individual. I have found many times in my life that if my heart aligns with the heart of the Father it becomes so much easier to do the right thing. When I stray from doing…

Proverbs 20

By Pastor Jeff Proverbs 20:22 – “Do not say, ‘I’ll pay you back for this wrong!’ Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.” Revenge! It’s a bad thing, but let’s be honest we have all been there right? When we ourselves or someone close to us is wounded, slighted, or done wrong, if…

Proverbs 19

By Pastor Sarah As school starts back my Facebook newsfeed has filled up with pictures of kids and teenagers on their first day of school. So much potential, so many fresh starts, so many dreams are represented in those pictures. The little ones go off to school and will be told over and over that…

Proverbs 17

By Pastor Brittany Some wise person once told me (I’m not sure who, but they had to be wise) to choose my battles. Being that I hate confrontation in any form or fashion, this isn’t always a difficult idea for me to follow. If someone disagrees with you then let them have their opinion. Someone…

The first one is verse 18–often simplified down…

Proverbs 13

By Pastor Sarah There are so many great instructions found in Proverbs 13, but the one that hurts me to the core is verse 3. “He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.” If ever I had a problem in school it was for my mouth.…

Proverbs 12

By Pastor Phil Every generation has to deal with school yard bullies.  We had our share of them at my elementary school in Muskogee.  I can still remember this one boy who seemed to have a knack for name-calling and ridicule and just about everyone in the class seemed to be his target.  When we…
