Proverbs 31
By Pastor Brittany Proverbs 31 is the final verse in this summer journey of wisdom. Now, some of you guys may be thinking, “this is really just for the ladies.” Don’t leave yet. I don’t believe that’s the case. You see, Proverbs 31 has always sort of intimidated me. As if I didn’t have enough…

By Pastor Phil The wisdom of Proverbs 30 comes from someone other than Solomon. We know little about Agur, the author of these sayings other than what he tells us. He is a brilliant observer of life and its’ mysteries, placing in categories for us things that are simply too amazing, too wonderful for us…

Implied in Cain’s response was this excuse:…

By Pastor Brittany As I read through this chapter there were many good words of wisdom that could easily be applied to life, however, there was one verse that leapt off the page at me.

By Pastor Brian As I read through today’s chapter there were two verses that really caught my attention. The rich and poor have this in common: The Lord made them both.
