Dear Church Family,
A godly pursuit of wisdom has an ultimate goal of living God’s way as outlined in the Bible. Unfortunately, life in a sinful world means our path is filled with distractions, deterrents, and delays. These roadblocks threaten to derail a godly pursuit of wisdom by encouraging us to settle for less than everything God has planned for us. Because of this, Proverbs tells us to “guard our heart above all else because it is the wellspring of life.” In our message series this week, we will learn what that means, how to put it into practice in our lives, and what happens when we don’t.
Join us this Sunday at 9:30 am for worship as Pastor Caleb takes us down the path of wisdom in Proverbs 4:11-27.
ICYMI – Watch my sermon from this past Sunday, part of one of our Proverbs series: The Path of Wisdom.
