Wise Care, Common Ground

Wise Care, Common Ground

This sermon, rooted in Proverbs 22:1–9, calls believers to a gospel-centered, wise care for the vulnerable by emphasizing that every person bears God's image and thus deserves dignity, regardless of circumstance. It underscores that God takes personal offense at the mistreatment of the poor, widows, orphans, and strangers, framing such care not as mere social ethics but as a vital expression of faith, rooted in Christ's example and the reality of His identification with the marginalized. Drawing from Jesus' parables, teachings, and personal ministry—especially His identification with the least of these—the sermon argues that acts of compassion, however small, carry eternal significance and reflect the transformative power of the gospel. It challenges listeners to prioritize time and sacrificial generosity over material resources, recognizing that while no one can fix another's brokenness, Christ can, and believers are called to point others to Him. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a humble, Christ-shaped discipleship that sees the vulnerable as opportunities to reflect God's love, knowing that in serving them, we serve Christ Himself.

Wise Dating

This sermon presents a biblically grounded framework for wise dating, rooted in Proverbs 3:5–8 and the principle of trusting God's wisdom over personal understanding. It reframes dating not as a pursuit of romance, but as a process of building a Christian friendship to evaluate long-term compatibility in social, theological, vocational, and physical dimensions, all within the context of a shared spiritual journey toward God's glory. The preacher emphasizes that wise dating requires intentional practices—prayer, clear communication, sexual purity, grace, community involvement, and patience—while warning against relying on worldly influences or emotional impulses. Ultimately, the sermon redirects focus from the outcome of marriage to the enduring truth of God's unrelenting love, which provides security and purpose regardless of whether a relationship leads to marriage or singleness, affirming that true fulfillment is found in trusting Christ's redemptive love above all else. www.gptulsa.com

The Wise Friend

This week we will continue our study of wise relationships by studying wise friendships. Nothing is more natural than making friends. But making wise friendships takes more than merely mastering a set of skills. To build wise friendships, we must cultivate a set of virtues that can only come in the context of following Jesus. Join us as we seek to become followers of Jesus who are transformed into friends like Jesus. Invite any friends, family or neighbors that need a friend!
