An Outline For The Proverbs 7 Woman
Contributed on Jan 26, 2026
In contrast to the virtuous "Proverbs 31" woman is the "strange woman" of Proverbs 7. The contrast between these two types of women couldn't be more obvious!
An Outline for The Proverbs 7 Woman Introduction: Many of us have heard about the “Proverbs 31 woman” whom Lemuel described so elegantly.

An Outline For "He Did Right In The Eyes Of The Lord”

The Seven Churches-Laodicea
Contributed on Jan 13, 2026
This church, the last of the Seven, received a strong message from the Lord Jesus Christ. Still, there is a tender and beautiful invitation in the last few verses. Have you opened the door to Jesus?
The Seven Churches-Laodicea Introduction: (Full disclosure, this message is based on a sermon I preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on November 30, 2025 but is not an exact transcription.) This last church of the Seven Churches is both a reminder and a warning to all people. The ...read more

Introduction: Some kings in Old Testament days had very long reigns, like Uzziah (52 years), Manasseh (55 years) and Jeroboam II of the Ten Northern Tribes (Israel, 41 years).
