What Your Words Are Doing (Wisdom, Week 2)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scriptures: Proverbs 12:17–19; 15:1–4; 18:21 | Matthew 12:33–37 Proverbs is relentless about speech — gossip, flattery, angry words, lies, and also the life-giving power of honest, kind conversation. Jesus says our words reveal the state of our hearts, and the same Jesus who will judge our careless words has already spoken the words that forgive them.

More Than a Good Idea (Wisdom, Week 1)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scriptures: Proverbs 1:1–7; 9:10 | Colossians 2:1-5 | Luke 11:29–32 What is wisdom, really? We live in a world drowning in advice — and still hungry for something more. Wisdom is not a system to master, it’s a person to receive. When Jesus says “something greater than Solomon is here,” he’s not just making a comparison — he’s making an invitation. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the Lord himself has come to find us.

Sent...With His Spirit (Week 4 | Confirmation)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scripture Readings: Acts 2:1-21 | John 7:37-39 How can we possibly live out what Jesus calls us to do? The answer is not found in our strength—but in the gift of the Holy Spirit. As the Spirit is poured out in Acts 2, we are reminded that God does not send us alone, neither is faith is  something we sustain on our own, but something God gives and preserves. This is the fourth and final week of “Sent."

Sent...By His Authority (Week 3)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1:15-23 | Acts 1:1-11 | Matthew 28:18-20 What does the Ascension really mean? Did Jesus leave—or is something bigger happening? The Ascension is not about Jesus’ absence, but His reign. And that changes how we understand what it means to be sent. You are not sent on your own—you are sent under the authority of the risen and ascended Christ. This is Week 3 of “Sent.”
