Media, Proverbs: Living Wisdom, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Proverbs is about how letting God be God to us effects every dimension of our lives and, ultimately, makes us wise people. He is a good God who cares, not only about our future, but about how we live and navigate life today. He cares not only about big decisions, but also every day matters, like our emotions. What are emotions? Why is it important to understand them? What do we do with them?

Proverbs shows us how letting God be God to us effects every dimension of life. No matter who you are, where you live, what you do there is one thing you do all day long: use words. Beause we do it so much it is easy to underestimate the importance of our words. The reality is that there are few things more important and few things we depend on more every day

We’ve spent the first four weeks looking at some of the macro themes in the introductory section of Proverbs. Beginning today, we’re going to zoom into various aspects of character and life. Today we’re going to begin by addressing a vice that no one in our city is free from. Often, we can’t stand to see it in others, but are quite often absolutely blind to it in ourselves. It is not a stretch to say that there is not a sin that makes someone more unpopular, yet which is so difficult to pin down and identify in our own lives. What is it? Pride.

The “heart” is referenced 79x’s in the ancient book of Proverbs, that’s over twice per chapter. Clearly, this is an important topic. It was the Puritan John Flavel who noted that the “greatest difficulty in conversion is to win the heart to God and the greatest difficulty after conversion is to keep the heart with God.” Perhaps one of the most famous Proverbs is 4:23, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” What is the heart? How do we keep it? How do we change it?

Proverbs is for the wise, foolish and simple. That means its for all of us. This book is divided into two parts: 1-9 and 10-31. Chapters 1-9 serve as the introduction for the book, selling us on the value of wisdom and the folly of foolishness. To rightly understand chapters 10-31 we have to come to terms with the major themes of chapters 1-9: wisdom and folly. Last week we look at the path of wisdom. This week we’ll look at the path of folly.

So, over the course of the next two weeks we’re going to look at each of these paths: the path of wisdom and the path of folly.

The book of Proverbs is intensely practical. It tells us that we are all on a path. We are all on a journey. We are all heading somewhere, becoming something. The truth is that even when we feel stuck, we’re still in motion. So, the question for all of us is, “What path are we on?” Proverbs reveals our chosen path of life, far from being neutral, is a matter of life and death – God wants life for us.

For most of us, we spend a lot of our time and lives “working”, and whatever we spend the most time doing, we are apt to make it the most important thing in our life. Consequently, we’ll also spend the most time doing what we value as most important. Scripture has much to say about our work, so lets examine Col 3:23 and look at what work is, and how God wants to use our work for His glory, our growth, and ultimately our Joy.

As the good news of Jesus Christ goes into the city, sinners are saved, lives are changed and, inevitably, a church is planted. This week we’ll dig into what Jesus’ local church is intended to be and do, including issues related to leadership, structure, governance, discipline, and more. We’ll also discuss the history, vision, mission and values of Downtown Cornerstone.

In light of all this, what does it practically look like to follow Jesus Christ? This week we’ll talk about how our identity in Christ gives shape to our daily lives, including our location (family, homes and neighborhoods), vocation (work, career, finances), recreation (rest, play, leisure), restoration (mercy, justice, brokenness), and multiplication (stewardship, growth, others). We’ll also examine discipleship pathway and what it looks like to go from “lost” to “leader”.
