    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,581 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Satan’s got the church believing it doesn’t need miracles, because we are far more educated than they were in biblical times. But everyone, young and old, sick and not so sick, healthy or not healthy, employed or not employed, persecuted or well liked, needs a miracle.

    Friends, some weeks feel like living in a wind tunnel. The headlines howl. The phone hums. The calendar crowds. Even our prayers can sound like hurried headlines—fast, faint, fragmented.
