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

The Sacrifice Of Fools

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 4, 2017

Eccl 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. What is the sacrifice of fools?

THE SACRIFICE OF FOOLS Ecclesiastes 5:1 Christians have nearly abandoned the word "fool," and replaced it with various synonyms. The reason is found in Matthew 5:22, where Jesus says, "...whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the hell of ...read more

The Cloud, The Fire & The Glory

Temple Details (2 Chronicles 4)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 5, 2025

Do temple details help us be more detailed in praising God?

Is the sacrifice of praise a way to build positive mental health? Do we thank God in detail? Let’s begin in 2 Chronicles 4. What did the brass altar and the large basin look like? How is water still used symbolically in the Church? Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length ...read more

Hooker Mom

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 9, 2002

A look at the Prostitutes who came to Solomon to decide the fate of their child

She was just a hooker, a lady of the night.

"Why Proverbs? Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 4, 2018

Solomon tells us who the book of Proverbs was written for and why.

The fool says in his heart “there is no God” (Psalm 14:1), lives as if there’s no God and ends up eternally separated from God. The wise acknowledges there’s a God, lives to please God and ends up eternally enjoying communion with God. Those who are wise acknowledge that God is there and He is not ...read more
