Proverbs 2010

The Beginning

We begin our series on Proverbs with a question: Do we fear the Lord? Are we even supposed to fear Him? The answer to this question is the foundation for the rest of our study on understanding and applying God’s wisdom in our lives.

Wired with Wisdom

Wisdom was at God’s side at creation and helped design a precise, intricate operating system for the physical universe. Wisdom also designed humanity to live by certain principles that produce satisfaction and blessing. Are you responding to or ignoring Wisdom’s call?

Pursuing Wisdom

Wisdom is a life-long pursuit that requires listening and learning. How are you doing in those areas? Are you trusting in God’s wisdom, or leaning on your own understanding?

Heart Health

Guard your heart to guide your life.

Foolish or Wise?

Proverbs draws a stark contrast between the foolish person and the wise person. Discover the characteristics of each of these personalities and evaluate which one most describes you.

Mocker or Noble Encourager?

Our culture has perfected the “art” of mockery. In everything from our forms of entertainment, the political arena, our schools and even our homes, mocking what is noble and valuable is prevalent. In contrast, the noble and encouraging person seems hard to find. Is your character that of a mocker or a noble encourager?

Mocker or Noble Encourager? Part 2

The tongue has the power to bring life or death, to build up or tear down, to bless or curse. Discover how your words can be those of a noble encourager whose speech brings joy and life to others.

Slacker or Worker?

HCBC church planting resident Scott Heider brings a message contrasting the lazy person with the diligent and productive person. Slacking may feel fun for a while, but the worker experiences lasting contentment and enjoys the fruit of his labor – fruit that is far greater than simply financial gain.

Tight Fist or Open Hand?

Do you hold onto your financial resources with a tight fist, or hold them out in an open hand? Find out how wisdom and wealth work together we discover the gift of generosity.

Seducer or Committed?

Wisdom is calling…but so is seduction. We live in a world where sensuality is overt, sex is cheapened, and true intimacy is at an all time low. Is our sexuality really something we can commit to God, or are we resigned to live by the culture’s standards?

Seducer or Committed? (Part 2)

We continue our examination of God’s plan for sex and why following it brings blessing and protects us from physical, spiritual and emotional pain. We’ll also address how to meet the sexual challenges that we encounter in various stages of life.
