The Scoffer

Leave a comment

Proverbs 21

Passage

Most of the time when we think of a scoffer, it is someone else. the one who makes a face, rolls their eyes, or even mocks someone out of disrespect. In Proverbs we can get a Biblical definition that provides some clarity. Proverbs 21:24 calls out the scoffer as someone who is arrogant, haughty and prideful. If we think about it, how many times are we this type of person?

Scoffing can bring about arguments, drive people apart, and more importantly, does not represent how God wants us to behave. We need to remember that Jesus humbled Himself to come to earth as a servant, died for us out of love. We need to lift others up above ourselves not think more highly of ourselves, and show the love of Christ to everyone we encounter.

There are many books of proverbs or “wise sayings” that have been published over time.

Some of the proverbs have been identified as always applicable and others that may depend on the situation.

This message covers some topical proverbs related to how we interact with others, planning, and how God wants us to follow His guidance for our lives.

What Is The Church?

Matthew 16:13-23

Passage

The church is more than a building we visit weekly to show our devotion to God. The church is the people who allow the Holy Spirit dwell within them. The people who acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, as Peter did in this passage.

Our foundation as a church is built upon Jesus (the Rock) and what He has prepared for us. As commanded in the great commission, we have the responsibility to take this church to others and sow the seeds of the Kingdom to all we encounter.
