Sermons on Mishle 1:9:

The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022

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.

[Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. 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

How To Be An Attractive Youth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

This proverb is worthless to the millions of teens whose parents are not giving them guidance and instruction. The best thing the church can do for the home is to seek to make it what the Bible assumes it will be and that is a place of learning.

Every young person wants to be attractive. Teens suddenly discover that they are drawn to each other because of their attractiveness, and they want to be attractive themselves. It is then that the mirror, mirror on the wall become the idol of them all. They become very sensitive about their body, ...read more

The Two Ways Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on May 11, 2021

For men today there are only two ways, the way of sin and death, and the way of salvation.

The Two Ways Proverbs 1:7-33 From Adam and Eve onward, the root of human tragedy lies in wrong choices. Man lost all because he chose to listen to the deceiver rather than to Him who is Truth. The book of Proverbs is all about helping us to make right choices, to choose the way of God and not ...read more

Mom Strong

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 14, 2018

Actress Ally Walker said, "Being a mom is the hardest job I've ever had; but it's the most rewarding job I've ever had." I'm sure most moms share this sentiment. Moms are tough. Army slogan, "Army Strong". There's Army Strong and then there's Mom Strong.

MOM STRONG! [Slide One] One day a young daughter came up to her Mother saying, "Mom, there are five things I'm going to be when I grow up." "Oh? What are they?" "I'm going to be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, an archeologist, and an actress." "Wow, that's quite a list. But what about being a ...read more

Three Gifts To Give The Next Generation - Mother's Day 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 9, 2024

Repeatedly, tell them they are loved by their Heavenly Father. Repeatedly, tell your children that every one of God’s commands is an invitation to help yourself to happiness. Repeatedly, tell the next generation that every time the Bible says, “Don’t do this,” He’s saying, “Don’t harm yourself.”

Here are some interesting things I have heard moms say. 1. My kids sure make a lot of plans for someone who can’t drive anywhere. 2. One mom said to another, “That’s it. I’m selling my kid on eBay.” The other mom replied, “Don’t be silly! You made him. Sell him on Etsy.” 3. Nothing is lost until ...read more
