True North - "He Knows" - Proverbs 1 - Guest Speaker: Danny Harrod

He Knows Proverbs 1 Danny Harrod Part of True North July 5, 2026 Love is the focus and goal of all theology and of our personal Bible study. Why Study Proverbs? Wisdom: It’s a compound Hebrew word that literally means to have a listening heart. > “I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.” —1 Kings 3:12 Vs. 2-3 “for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; To do what is right, just and fair” Fear God:  (With Awe, Reference & Trust) Vs. 7- “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” > “The fear of the Lord isn’t about terror—it’s about recognizing His magnificent supremacy and finding my proper place in relationship with Him. Instead of anxiety, I’ve found wisdom; instead of dread, I’ve discovered His delight in me.” —Krystal Ribble- Esther Press“For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” —John 5:20 A Morning Prayer  All knowing God. This is your day. You give and take away. This life is a gift . Help me to live in fear and wonder of you today. Give me your wisdom as I make choices today. Amen. Listen to Wise Mom’s and Dad’s (Mentors) Vs. 8-9:  “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.” Wisdom is ready and waiting to be received. God has not hidden it from us. Vs. 20-21  “Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech” Wisdom is the answer to our anxiousness Vs. 33  “But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.” Takeaway:  1. Fear (Awe) God- (every morning)  2. Listen to your godly others  3. Be at ease

Psalms - "Our Good Father" - Psalm 145 - Tim Nay

Our Good Father - Psalm 145 Tim Nay Part of The Raw and Real Psalms June 18, 2026 —Judges 8:28 “What you think about God shapes your whole relationship with him. In addition, what you believe. Good things about you determine how close you will grow toward Him. Many of us have formed a picture of God from impressions we’ve picked up in passing. If we see him as an overzealous policeman, we’ll always be walking on eggshells. If we see him as an angry judge, we’ll always feel guilty. If we think he’s just like us, we’ll be casual about our sin.” —p. 20, Chip Ingram, God As He Longs for You to See Him Our VIEW of God SHAPES Our Relationship with Him Is your view of God shaped by your past… or by Scripture?

Worship God PERSONALLY B. Praise God OPENLY C. PASS on God’s greatness INTENTIONALLY     —Psalm 145:11-12     —Psalm 145:21 Our RESPONSE - POINT everyone to Our GOOD Father in heaven.     —Zephaniah 3:17 TAKEAWAY: KNOW the Father.
