  • Proverbs: Listening
    2025/07/21

    Intro:

    Good morning! We’re navigating a tough week, having just hosted a funeral for Drew Hall, deeply loved in our community, who passed away in a climbing accident. Our hearts are with his wife and daughters. Next week, our Exeter church family, who we just prayed off, joins us for baptisms – this is the life of the church: joy and sorrow, but Jesus is always with us. Today, we delve into listening, a profound theme from Proverbs.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 2:1-5, Proverbs 5:1-2, Proverbs 22:17, Proverbs 13:1, Proverbs 15:31-32, Proverbs 4:20, Proverbs 5:1, Genesis 1, Psalm 33:6, Deuteronomy 6, Genesis 21:17, Proverbs 15:29, Luke 24:25-32

    Key Points:

    • God Is Always Speaking, Calling Us to Listen:
      • Proverbs emphasizes God's constant communication, urging us to be attentive listeners.
      • The Seattle School of Theology's daily "chime" ritual reminds students their work is done in the presence of a living, speaking God.
    • Listening for Wisdom and Instruction:
      • Proverbs consistently calls us to listen for knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:1-5, 5:1-2, 22:17).
      • It also stresses receiving instruction and discipline (Proverbs 13:1, 15:31-32). Embracing God's loving discipline transforms us.
      • Proverbs’ urgent tone (e.g., Proverbs 4:20, 5:1) highlights the gravity of listening to God's words. It’s the single most important thing we can learn.
    • Listening in God's Grand Story:
      • Creation: From Genesis 1 ("Let there be light"), God speaks first. Our design is to listen and respond. Keith Anderson notes God's voice in creation is the first evidence of His love. Intentional listening means emptying our agenda, being curious, and present. Grab a "Five Ways to Practice Listening" card at the connect table!
      • Old Testament (Shema): Deuteronomy 6 commands, "Listen, O Israel... love the Lord your God." Listening precedes loving. God's listening (e.g., Hagar and Ishmael in Genesis 21:17) isn't for His knowing, but to express His love, care, and that we are known (Proverbs 15:29). What He hears is never a barrier to His love.
      • Jesus' Incarnation: Jesus often said, "Let anyone who has ears hear." The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:25-32) shows disciples, disillusioned by Christ's crucifixion, unknowingly walking with Jesus. As He spoke, their hearts "burned." Encountering Jesus opens our ears and hearts to God's voice. Proximity to Jesus happens in simple, earthy ways (walking, sharing a meal, being with companions).
    • The Problem is Connection, Not God's Speaking:
      • Like the story of Pete Gregg unknowingly broadcasting his podcast, God is always speaking. The problem is often our connection.
      • Busyness, disappointment, a cold heart, or distance from Jesus can hinder our listening. Our job is to approach God with intentionality, love, and closeness to Jesus.

    Conclusion:

    Our ability to listen to God is foundational. From creation to Jesus, God's story shows He actively speaks and listens out of love. This security allows us to confidently listen to Him.

    Call to Action:

    As we come to the table, remember Christ's presence bridges all distance. If your heart feels cold, or you need to know God hears you, pray with us. We'll worship and take communion, remembering Jesus, who perfectly embodied listening and drew close to us, offering new life. Be responsive to prayer; we want to connect you to Jesus.

  • Proverbs: The Poor
    2025/07/13

    Intro:

    This morning, we're diving into Proverbs to explore God's heart for the poor. This builds on last week's sermon on justice. We'll hear from community members dedicated to this work. Who are the poor? It's complex, encompassing food insecurity, homelessness, and material lack, as Michael Simmon from the Rescue Mission shared. While our nation has safety nets, biblical understanding goes deeper.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 5:1-14, Proverbs 29:7, Proverbs 31:20, Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 28:27, Proverbs 17:5, Proverbs 19:17, Matthew 25, Luke 4, 1 John 3:17-18, Galatians 2:9-10, Acts 3:1-9

    Key Points:

    • Poverty's Complex Causes: Proverbs acknowledges poverty results from both bad choices and injustice. Avoid instant judgment; it's a mix of personal decisions, family, and systemic issues.
    • The Righteous Care for the Poor:
      • "The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern" (Proverbs 29:7).
      • The Proverbs 31 wife, epitomizing wisdom, "opens her arms to the poor" (Proverbs 31:20). Caring for the poor should be central to followers of Jesus.
    • Rewards for Caring for the Poor:
      • "The generous will themselves be blessed" (Proverbs 22:9).
      • "Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses" (Proverbs 28:27). There's eternal reward and divine warning.
    • God Identifies with the Poor:
      • "Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker" (Proverbs 17:5).
      • "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord" (Proverbs 19:17).
      • Matthew 25 highlights: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me." God takes our actions personally.
    • A Holistic Gospel:
      • Our gospel must be good news to the poor. Jesus' mission began with proclaiming good news to the poor (Luke 4:18).
      • Avoid two errors:
        1. Serving the poor while neglecting Jesus/discipleship: Without Jesus, healing from deep pain is incomplete (Heidi Heredia).
        2. Preaching the gospel but neglecting the poor: "How can the love of God be in that person?" (1 John 3:17). Our gospel needs "feet"—actions. The early church was known for this care.
    • Helping Without Hurting:
      • Avoid increasing shame/savior complex: Don't disempower. Use asset-based community development (Steve Corbett) – resource their gifts to restore dignity (e.g., Creekside Community Church selling gifts).
      • Avoid "parachuting": Partner with indigenous ministries. Building relationships and local ownership are key (Dave Schlich). Jesus is already at work; we join Him.
      • Avoid giving relief to those who need development: Understand relief (immediate aid), rehabilitation (getting out of the pit), development (learning to walk again). Our goal is full restoration.
      • Panhandling: Michael Simmon advises against cash. Offer connection, food/hygiene items. "Being seen" is vital.
      • The goal: restore full humanness, glorifying God in right relationship with Him, self, others, and creation.

    Conclusion:

    Many are helping without hurting (Rescue Mission, Gleanings, Dream Center). We're called to embody this holistic gospel.

    Call to Action:

    Remember Acts 3:1-9: Peter and John gave the lame man healing in Jesus' name, not just money. We empower people to "walk, jump, and praise God." Ask God for your part and pray for those leading this work.

  • Proverbs: Justice
    2025/07/07

    Intro:

    Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26

    Key Points:

    • Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.
    • Injustice in Proverbs:
      • Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.
      • Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.
    • Justice in Proverbs:
      • Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.
      • Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.
    • Three Takeaways:
      1. "I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.
      2. Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.
      3. Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).
    • The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:
      • "No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.
      • God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.

    Conclusion:

    We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.

    Call to Action:

    At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you.

  • Proverbs: Lust & Temptation
    2025/06/29

    Intro:

    Good morning! We're diving into Proverbs chapter five today, as Glenn Power teaches. We'll confront a challenging, yet crucial, theme: the warnings about immorality and lust. While intense, these warnings and God's positive vision for sexuality are vital medicine for our souls in our "Summer of Wisdom" series.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 5:1-14, Proverbs 5:15-20, Proverbs 7:26, Proverbs 16:6, Matthew 5:27-29, John 4, 2 Samuel 11, Romans 5, 2 Peter 1

    Key Points:

    • Proverbs' Urgent Warnings:
      • Chapters 5-7 are almost entirely dedicated to warnings against immorality and lust.
      • This feels like a "fear tactic" to modern ears, but Proverbs is not embarrassed to warn. It's the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 16:6), avoiding evil by understanding sin's devastating consequences.
      • Jesus amplifies this: "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out... better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell" (Matthew 5:27-29). He goes to the heart, where lust begins.
    • A Positive Vision for Sexuality:
      • Proverbs also gives a positive vision for sex within marriage. Proverbs 5:15-20 graphically depicts the joy and pleasure of marital intimacy.
      • God created sex as a beautiful gift within the marriage covenant.
      • We need to move beyond shame; the problem isn't being "too sexual," but often not experiencing sexual fulfillment in God's intended way.
    • The "Immoral Woman" in Modern Context:
      • Proverbs' "immoral woman" represents a spirit of temptation (a profile of darkness) that pulls both men and women astray.
      • Today, this "immoral woman" takes many forms, notably pornography, which statistics show is a pervasive struggle even among Christians and leaders. Proverbs 7:26: "Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng."
    • The Path to Freedom:
      • Run to God, not from God, even in failure. Romans 5:8: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God doesn't shame; He washes and loves.
      • Embrace a Kingdom Gospel powerful enough to set you free. God gives us "everything we need for a godly life" (2 Peter 1:3). Don't settle for addiction.
      • Overcome lust through daily connection with the Spirit: Prayer, Word study, fasting.
      • Overcome lust through divine purpose: Idleness and boredom lead to sin (2 Samuel 11 – David and Bathsheba). God has a unique mission for you.
      • Overcome lust through true intimacy with God: For singles, the highest pleasure is intimacy with the Creator. John 4: "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst... a spring of water welling up to eternal life." God's love satisfies deeply.
      • Overcome lust through transparent relationships, self-control, self-imposed boundaries, and specialized support. If you've tried everything, get help!

    Conclusion:

    Sexual sin is deeply personal and can feel shameful, a padlock without a key. But God offers life, not death. In our deepest, darkest moments, He says, "I choose you. I love you. Come to me." Breaking sin's power isn't about bootstraps; it's through Him.

    Call to Action:

    Receive prayer today; breaking sin's power isn't done alone. When we open up and invite God's light, amazing things happen. Come to the table to remember Jesus' broken body and spilled blood—His ultimate price for our freedom. He gave His life so we could have life.

  • Proverbs: Words
    2025/06/22

    Good morning, Radiant! Mike Young is teaching today. Continuing "Summer of Wisdom" in Proverbs: wisdom is rooted in fear of the Lord, fueled by a teachable spirit, and avoiding foolishness. Today: the incredible power of our words.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 18:21, Proverbs (various), Matthew 12:33-37, James 3, Romans 8:9-11, Romans 10:9-10, Proverbs 6:16-19, Proverbs 11:13, Proverbs 16:28, Proverbs 12:18, Proverbs 15:1, Proverbs 28:23, Proverbs 16:24, Proverbs 25:11, Proverbs 15:4, Proverbs 10:19, Proverbs 17:28

    Key Points:

    • Words: Weapon & Divine Reflection:
      • Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."
      • Our words, unique to humans, reflect God's image. He spoke creation; we wield similar power.
      • Every word carries spiritual weight: fostering flourishing or destruction. Reckless speech yields bad "fruit"; Spirit-led words bring peace.
    • Words' Source (Matthew 12):
      • Jesus: "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matt 12:34). Words perfectly mirror our heart.
      • Bitter hearts speak cutting words; Spirit-filled hearts speak grace.
      • Jesus warns: "Account for every careless word" (Matt 12:36).
      • Jesus' "harsh" words (e.g., "brood of vipers") were perfectly aimed to expose hypocrisy, unlike our own. He perfectly tamed His tongue.
    • Proverbs on Speech: Death-Bringing:
      • Lying (Prov 12:22): Erodes trust.
      • Gossip/Slander (Prov 11:13): Destroys relationships.
      • Hasty (Prov 29:20): Causes irreversible damage.
      • Contentious (Prov 15:1): Escalates conflict.
      • Flattery (Prov 28:23): Insincere praise entraps.
    • Proverbs on Speech: Life-Giving:
      • Truthful (Prov 12:19): Established forever.
      • Gracious (Prov 16:24): "Like honeycomb, sweetness to the soul."
      • Well-timed (Prov 25:11): Precious, beautiful.
      • Comforting/Gentle (Prov 15:4): Bring healing; "a gentle tongue is a tree of life."
      • Restraint (Prov 17:28): "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise." Silence can be powerful.
    • Words Shape Eternity:
      • We can't perfectly tame our tongues; only Jesus did. He lives in us!
      • Rom 10:9-10: mouth confession saves. Rom 8:9-11: Spirit in us gives life.
      • God gives us words to proclaim the Gospel, bringing others from death to life. More than avoiding negative speech, actively bringing God's Kingdom.

    Conclusion:

    Our words hold incredible power. We're imperfect, but Jesus, the living Word, perfectly tamed His tongue to bring life, even through death. We now partake in His "fruit."

    Call to Action:

    At the table, confess foolishness/death-bringing words. Ask God for His ways. Then, stop talking and listen for His voice. Let the Holy Spirit transform your mouth to proclaim good news and bring life.

  • Proverbs: Dealing with Fools
    2025/06/15

    Intro:

    Happy Father's Day! This summer, we're exploring Proverbs and its powerful themes. Today, we're tackling fools. While the joke writes itself, I know the men here are anything but. I see men yearning for wisdom, seeking to be better fathers, husbands, and men. I’m proud to link arms with you. Today, we'll bless the fathers and ask God to guide us in wisdom.

    Scripture References: Proverbs (various throughout), Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 1:22-23, Proverbs 9:13-18, Proverbs 12:15, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 15:5, Proverbs 17:10, Proverbs 18:2, Proverbs 26:4-5, Proverbs 26:9-12, Proverbs 29:9, Ephesians 2:1-5

    Key Points:

    • Proverbs and Categories of People:
      • Proverbs describes the world as it is, not just as it should be. It uses categories like the righteous, wicked, wise, and fool to describe generalities.
      • While we're all unique, wisdom comes from understanding these simple patterns.
      • God is direct; He hates sin and pride. This directness isn't mean, but a part of His character, as seen in the Law, Prophets, Psalms, and even Jesus' parables (sheep and goats, wise and foolish virgins).
      • Our "squishiness" about these terms can stem from taking sin too lightly. God takes sin seriously, and so should we.
    • Understanding the "Simple," the "Wise," and the "Fool":
      • The simple person is naive or inexperienced. This isn't bad; Proverbs is written for the simple, like a father instructing his son (Proverbs 1:4). To gain from Proverbs, we must see ourselves as simple.
      • The wise person has a teachable spirit and puts God's authority in the right place, understanding that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7).
      • The fool is the opposite of wise. Proverbs 1:7 concludes: "fools despise wisdom and instruction." A fool is not interested in learning or growing; at their heart is pride, believing "I've got this."
    • Characteristics of a Fool in Action:
      • Self-Righteous and Opinionated: Puts full weight on their own views, ignores others (Proverbs 12:15, 18:2).
      • Quarrelsome and Reactive: Always ready to fight, broadcasts emotions (Proverbs 15:5, 29:9). Social media can make us fools, amplifying these temptations.
      • Resistant to Correction: Hates reproof, stuck in a loop of repeating mistakes (Proverbs 15:5, 17:10, 26:11).
      • Wisdom's Warning (Proverbs 26:12): "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." This calls us to humility; when God corrects, will we learn or push back?
    • The Seduction and Consequences of Folly:
      • Lady Folly is loud, seductive, and knows nothing (Proverbs 9:13). She tells us what we want to hear, making us feel good while leading to ruin.
      • "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death" (Proverbs 14:12). Our culture says "follow your heart," but the Bible says our intuition needs God's shaping.
      • Folly is deadly serious: It leads to disgrace, destruction, and hurts the community (Proverbs 13:16, 10:27, 26:10).
      • While modern safety nets may buffer immediate consequences, foolishness still leads to a "slow dripping away of life" – broken relationships, limited opportunities, loneliness.
    • Dealing with Fools:
      • If you have authority: Punish foolishness for the good of the community. This sets an example for the simple (Proverbs 19:25). Don't honor foolishness. In parenting, actively train children in wisdom, as "folly is bound up in the hea

  • Proverbs: Fear of the Lord
    2025/06/08

    Intro:

    Good morning, everyone! We're diving into Matthew chapter 10 today, drawing wisdom from Jesus, Solomon (from Proverbs), and David (from the Psalms) to understand the fear of the Lord. We'll see how this powerful concept can actually free us from all our other fears.

    Scripture References: Matthew 10:5-31, Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 10:27, Proverbs 14:26-27, Proverbs 15:16, Psalm 19:9, Psalm 25:12-14, Psalm 31:19-20, Psalm 34, Isaiah 33:6, 1 Samuel 21, Ephesians 4:17-18, Colossians 2:3

    Key Points:

    • Jesus' Bizarre Halftime Speech (Matthew 10):
      • Jesus sends out His disciples with a message of the Kingdom, healing, and deliverance.
      • But then the message takes a dark turn: "I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves."
      • He warns of persecution, betrayal, and hatred, yet astonishingly commands, "Do not fear those who kill the body... Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
      • This isn't a typical pep talk, but a profound invitation to a greater fear that delivers from lesser ones.
    • The Fear of the Lord: The Beginning of Wisdom:
      • Proverbs 1:7 famously states, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
      • This "fear" isn't a cowering dread but a reverent awe that leads to friendship with God (Psalm 25:14) and is described as "clean" and "enduring forever" (Psalm 19:9).
      • It's a treasure that brings stability, strength, and life (Isaiah 33:6, Proverbs 10:27, 14:27).
    • Fear's Grip: Lessons from David (1 Samuel 21 & Psalm 34):
      • Even heroes like King David succumbed to fear, running, hiding, lying, pretending madness, and forgetting God's faithfulness.
      • Fear often leads us to strongholds – places we seek for safety that become captivity. It makes us huddle with those just like us.
      • Psalm 34 is David's testimony and sermon after God delivered him from his fears.
      • Fear is a faith revealer: It exposes what we boast in, what we magnify. To be free, we must boast in and magnify God (Psalm 34:1-3).
    • A Greater Fear Delivers from Lesser Fears:
      • Just as the fear of rejection might make you jump off a bridge, or the fear of losing a child makes you brave the ocean, a greater fear can trump lesser fears.
      • The fear of the Lord is not a fear of Him, but a fear of going without Him—a reverent submission that keeps us in step with Him.
      • This fear leads to refuge in God (Psalm 31:19-20), obedience, and faithfulness. It frees us from the compromise that worldly fears demand.

    Conclusion:

    The idea that "the only thing to fear is fear itself" is a lie. The one thing we should fear is the Lord. And in this divine exchange, when we fear Him most, He delivers us from all other lesser fears, leading us to abundant life and wisdom.

    Call to Action:

    As we come to the table, let's ask God to expose the fears that reveal what we've put our faith in. Let's boast in Christ's sacrifice, knowing He's made a way for us to live free from fear's influence. Receive His broken body, and ask for a healthy fear of the Lord – one that is pure, clean, endures forever, and leads to fullness of life. Come to the table, and if you need prayer, a team is ready to minister to you.

  • Proverbs: The Pursuit of Wisdom
    2025/06/04

    Intro:

    Hey everyone, we're kicking off a new summer series in the Book of Proverbs! We'll explore wisdom's themes each week. You can also grab our summer reading plan at the connect table to devotionally read through the whole book. By summer's end, you'll have journeyed through Proverbs, seeing its practical wisdom for your daily life with God.

    Scripture References: Proverbs 3:13-18, Proverbs 4:7, Proverbs 1:22, Colossians 1:16, Colossians 2:3, Ephesians 4:17-18, Matthew 28

    Key Points:

    • Proverbs is a Wisdom Book:
      • It emphasizes the urgency of seeking wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and in all your getting get understanding."
      • In a culture of acquiring, let's prioritize getting what truly matters – wisdom.
      • Proverbs 3:13-18 highlights wisdom's value: "Blessed are those who find wisdom… for wisdom is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold… Nothing you desire compares to her." It's imperishable, worth holding onto.
    • Proverbs Offers Practical Wisdom:
      • This isn't just about spiritual knowledge; it's about wisdom for every corner of our lives: relationships, work, goals, resources.
      • If our wisdom isn't relevant to most of our life, it's not biblical wisdom.
      • The root word of Proverbs means "to be like," inviting us to compare our lives to its principles. It's a "plumb line" for daily living.
      • Ancient Hebrew culture saw life as a seamless garment – no separation between sacred and secular, public and private. Proverbs is a "timeless portable teacher."
    • Proverbs Defines the Wise Person:
      • The book divides people into two simple categories: the wise and righteous or the fool and wicked. There's no middle ground.
      • Proverbs 1:22 asks, "How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?" or "How long, you simpletons, will you love naivety?" God's Word compels us to choose a side.
      • A wise person is humble, seeks knowledge, listens to instruction, accepts correction, controls emotions, and brings joy to others.
    • Obstacles to Teachability:
      • Narrow Belief of Knowledge: We can mistakenly believe learning is only spiritual. Colossians 1:16 reminds us that everything was created by Him – the sacred and the mundane. God cares about every detail of our lives, even parking spaces!
