The book of Proverbs is one of those books of the Bible that gets right down to business. It doesn’t pull any punches. And it has been so good to give attention to major themes in the book the past several months.
THE SERIES SO FAR…
We have studied Proverbs in general by taking up a theme & seeking to unpack all that the book says about that these.
So far, we have studied the following themes. (If you missed one of the sermons, you can click the link below to listen.)
The Fear of the Lord—Proverbs 1:1-7
The Invitation—Proverbs 1:20-33
Pride & Humility—Proverbs 29:23
The (Truly) Beautiful—Proverbs 31:10-31
Now THAT the series is almost OVER, why the graphic?
Several have asked, what’s up with the graphic?
Here’s the idea.
The book of Proverbs calls us walk in wisdom & in the fear of the Lord. Finding this wisdom begins with looking into the mirror of God’s Word & the mirror on the wall to see how our life lines up. If we can hear & listen, we will see.
Then, all that we see in the mirror of God’s Word—by listening to & seeking wisdom—unfolds the path to life for us. It puts us in the way of wisdom. It puts us on the railroad tracks of wisdom.
Proverbs 3:5-6 puts it vividly: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
So, that’s the idea behind the graphic. The balloon is just a bonus!
CONCLUDING WITH OUR VERY OWN BEN FINCH!
This Sunday, we will conclude our series by studying the sluggard with the help of our very own Ben Finch!
We can’t wait.
Pray for Ben as finalizes preparation, especially doing so in his free time. And read Proverbs 6:6-11 in preparation!
