By Pastor Brittany With each verse in Proverbs 11, I was reminded of something my parents taught me: there is always a consequence to your action. That doesn’t necessarily mean the consequence is a bad one, maybe the better word is result. There is always a result to your particular action or decision and the…

By Pastor Brian The tenth chapter of Proverbs is exactly what I think a chapter of Proverbs will be like—one after another short saying that are packed full of truth and wisdom! But they seem to come shotgun style with no rhyme or reason to connect them together. While I am sure that I could…

By Pastor Bryce For me, I interpret this chapter as “Good Cop Bad Cop.” I love this chapter because it is a clear contrast of the characteristics of a wise person, as opposed to someone who is foolish. The first obvious thing that jumps out at me is, seeing as 2/3 of this chapter is…

By Pastor Brian I hate sin! I really hate it! I hate how sin wounds and scars and destroys! I hate seeing families torn apart by sin! I hate seeing the broken hearts, broken spirits and broken relationships that are left over after sin rips through people’s lives! But do you know what I hate…

By Pastor Bryce As a 27 year old, newly-wed young man, this passage speaks to me. While reading this passage, I started to reminisce my adolescent years. As a teenager, I felt like I had things pretty well figured out. Once I graduated high school I realized that there was a real world awaiting my…

By Pastor Jeff I don’t think it’s an accident that during our blogging sessions during the month of August that I was given Proverbs 3. When I read Proverbs 3 it’s not very long before verses 5-6 seem to speak volumes to me. I can honestly say that lately God has been teaching me about trust and patience.…
