Wisdom of Listening

What is really shaping your heart? In this sermon from Proverbs 18, we explore how our words, our conflicts, and even the things we trust reveal what is going on beneath the surface. Using the old principle “garbage in, garbage out,” this message shows that what fills the heart eventually shows up in the life—and points us to Christ as the only true refuge who can change us from the inside out.

Ask for Wisdom

When life feels uncertain, our first instinct is often to rely on our own understanding. But James 1:5–8 reminds us that God invites us to ask Him for wisdom—and He gives generously. In this message, we explore what it means to seek God’s direction with a trusting heart, why double-mindedness leads to instability, and how real faith finds steady footing in dependence on Him. If you’ve ever needed clarity, peace, or direction, this sermon is a reminder that wisdom begins by turning to God.

When Wisdom Conflicts

When God’s wisdom clashes with what the world calls smart, the cross becomes the turning point. In 1 Corinthians 1:18–25, Paul shows how the message of Jesus crucified sounds like foolishness to some, but is actually the power of God to save. This sermon exposes how pride demands proof and control, and why God’s rescue refuses to play by our terms. The invitation is simple and personal: trust God over appearances, lay down pride, and respond to Christ with humble obedience, repentance, and faith.

Thinking God's Way

There is great reward if following God's Word. As we work through Psalm 19, we see how God is on display. Then, we see how it calls us to reconstruct our worldview. As we look around, God's word restores what sin distorts. We must recognize the value in listening to God and following him.

Formed or Informed

What does a renewed mind look like in everyday church life? In Romans 12:3–8, Paul shows that transformation doesn’t stop at personal growth—it becomes humble, practical service in the body of Christ. In this message, we’ll confront pride, comparison, and “consumer Christianity,” and we’ll learn how grace-filled people use their gifts to build others up with zeal, generosity, and mercy.
