     | 4,669 views

    Pentecost 13: Foolishness and Wisdom are personified for us in the Book of Wisdom - Proverbs. But "who or what" is Wisdom. This message points us to the fulfillment of the Proverbs passage - Jesus Christ.

    I can remember – as if it were yesterday - some of the “home-spun wisdom” that my dad used to share with me. Once, when I was a boy, one of my friends tried to sell me his bicycle. Of course I didn’t have to the money to buy it, so I went to my dad. He must’ve noticed my excitement and ...read more

    11th in long series on Joshua. This speaks of conquering our own obstacles (like Jericho), even though sometimes God’s commands seem foolish or wasteful.

    Joshua 6:1-27 – Overcoming Obstacles There is a story told of ancient times. Once upon a time, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked ...read more

    A Godly Perspective On Wisdom And Strength

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,341 views

    The true definition of wisdom and strength does not come from the world, but from God, whose foolishness is wiser than mans, and whose weakness is stronger than the strength of men.

    Paul spends time defending his ministry. Evidently there were eminent "super-apostles (2 Cor 12:11), who were sharp in every way. Paul was unimpressive and even contemptible in comparison. These other leaders apparently had letters of commendation (2 Cor 3) which was impressive, they ...read more

    Solomon’s foolishness is repeated by his son who refuses to listen to the wise counsel of his advisers and instead turns to his younger peers who agree with him.

    By Rev Roy Hamer About thirty years ago Jo and I were involved in Youth Adventure camping. In fact you could say it’s how we met. You see we had mutual friends who where rock climbers and Jo and I often went climbing with them. Jo was a great climber: nimble flexible and brave. On the other hand ...read more

     | 3,453 views

    You may be have been foolish at the cross by the mockery of your life and lips and your actions. These people get so close to the cross but choose to deny the blood it shed.

    How do you view the Cross? It is the grandest single chapter in the entire Bible. And at the center of the Christian faith stands the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We sometimes think that Easter should be celebrated only once a year. But actually every Sunday—the first day of each ...read more

    The Church Walking In Unity

     | 3,102 views

    Someone said, “The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.”

    I believe we all would concur with that statement. The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Unity is a very important part of our life. It is important- • In the Home • In the Work ...read more

    If someone came to you and asked you about your faith in Jesus, what would you tell them? Would you just invite them to church, or would you be able to tell them why you believe what you believe?

    Justification of being a good person by comparing oneself to others is foolishness to God and if you don’t repent from this attitude, God will make your death painful and humiliating!
