Proverbs 23:19-21
Every day we face a “marshmallow moment” – give in now, or wait for something better. Proverbs shows us that self-control isn’t about willpower alone, but about what (or who) we love most. Wise people live self-controlled lives. And the gospel gives us the power to do it.
Watch this week’s message to discover the struggle, the solution, and the secret to real self-control.
Proverbs 15:1-4
Your words are building something or breaking something. Proverbs says death and life are in the power of the tongue. But the gospel says you’re not defined by your worst sentence. This week we dive into Proverbs 15 to see how wise words build life.
Proverbs 11:24-25
In Proverbs 11:24-25, we are reminded that wisdom is revealed not by what we guard, but by what we give. This week we explored how the gospel shapes our relationship with money, calling us to live with open hands rather than clenched fists. While money is a gift from God, it becomes destructive when we turn it into a source of security, control, or identity.
Proverbs exposes how guarding our resources leads to control, conflict, and compromise, while generosity flows from trusting God as our true provider. Ultimately, generosity is not about percentages or pressure, but about a surrendered heart shaped by the grace of Jesus. As the gospel opens our hands, God invites us to participate in his work and use what He has entrusted to us for eternal impact.
Proverbs 6:6-11
We live in a culture that prizes comfort, ease, and delay but Proverbs 6 confronts us with a hard question: What kind of life does that actually produce?
This week we explore the subtle danger of passivity through the lens of the “sluggard” and the surprising wisdom of the ant. Proverbs shows us that foolishness often isn’t loud or rebellious, it's quiet, avoidant, and postponed. Ultimately, we see that wisdom engages life with intention, courage, and preparation, and that the gospel offers hope even for sluggards like us.
Proverbs 5:1-23
Wisdom speaks to every area of life, including how we think about and live out our sexuality. In this sobering chapter of Proverbs, we see that sex is both powerful and precious—a good gift from God, but destructive when separated from Him. The father warns his son against the path of adultery, which leads to death, and calls him instead to faithful, joyful intimacy within marriage. Verse 21 lifts our eyes higher still, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance and greatest delight is found in God, from whom all other joys rightly flow.
Proverbs 3
We all want wisdom but wanting it and actually attaining it are two very different things. In Proverbs 3, Solomon shows us that wisdom isn’t gained by a shortcut or a quick download; it’s most often acquired over time on the path of life.
This week’s message explores why wisdom matters, where it’s found, how it’s formed, and what fuels it, especially when life gets hard. As we look at God’s loving discipline and the path of trust He lays out for us, we’re reminded that wisdom is not only valuable, it is indeed attainable. And ultimately, it leads us to Jesus, the one who doesn’t just teach wisdom, but is wisdom.
Proverbs 2
We’re all digging for something we believe will bring real change—success, security, clarity, control. In Proverbs 2, God shows us where true change is actually found: in seeking his wisdom with intentionality and trust.
This week's message explores the process, promise, and protection of wisdom—and why passivity and complacency quietly keep us from it. If you’re longing for real, lasting change, this sermon invites you to start digging in the right place.
Proverbs 1:1-7
Every one of us is on a journey (we are walking through life in a certain direction). You’re always moving somewhere—even when you feel stuck. And every decision you make is quietly steering you toward a destination.
Proverbs exists because God knows something about all of us and that is that most of the damage in our lives doesn’t come from one catastrophic moment. It comes from walking off the path that God has designed for our life.
The question isn’t whether you’re on a journey—you are. The question is whether the path you’re on is leading you toward life…or slowly away from it.
