The South African evangelist and writer Andrew Murray once commented, "The world asks, 'What does a man own?' Christ asks, 'How does he use it?'" How we handle money is a matter of faith and wisdom. Proverbs has a great deal to teach us about both. It's where we are headed this Sunday with "Financial Wi$dom." Join us!
A longing for friendship existed in the heart of Adam before sin entered the world. It is a consequence of our being created in the likeness of a Triune God. The book of Proverbs provides wise instruction on friendship that is rooted in the nature of God, revealed in the heart of God, and fulfilled in Christ. We focus this Sunday on friendship from the perspective of God's wisdom.
Dressing like a first-grader is fairly simple; all you have to do is button your shirt wrong. You know, button your shirt so that the holes and the buttons don't match up. Get that first button wrong, and there's no way to correct it without starting over. Getting the first one right is the key to getting everything else right. Marrying and raising a family is like that shirt; get the first things right, then the other buttons start to line up in a way that works. We're headed there Sunday with "Family Wisdom". Join us!
'Let's talk about sex.' Our culture sends that message non-stop. We hear it in song, see it in the examples of others, view it on TV. It's a challenge to go a day without receiving some lie about sex and sexuality. It's critical that we also hear the truth of what God has to say; after all, He created sex. His instruction to us on the matter is motivated by love. We need our Lord's wisdom. It's where we are headed Sunday. Join us!

Skillful Living
At times we'll be given a piece of advice that starts like this: "Here's a rule to live by." It may or may not be helpful, but deep down we know that life can be too complex for a simple rule. Skillful living requires wisdom to fill in the blanks moment by moment. Enter the Book of Proverbs where God provides His people with such wisdom - His wisdom. Sunday we begin a 6-week series in Proverbs with a message on skillful living. Join us!
