How to Choose Your Friends

When Awe Changes Everything: Proverbs Pt. 6

In this sermon, Pastor Carl Gulley explores what happens when the fear of the Lord and the love of God are held together, drawing on Isaiah 6, Proverbs 19:23, Psalm 111:10, Psalm 112:1-2, Proverbs 8:13, and Philippians 2:8-11. Using Isaiah's throne room encounter as the central text, Gulley challenges listeners to move beyond two common distortions of God: either treating Him as a distant, wrathful judge or a convenient genie, and calls them into the integrated posture of reverence and friendship that Scripture calls true spiritual freedom. The message is a call to take God seriously, love what He loves, and walk in the wholeness that comes when awe and intimacy meet.

Should've Been a Cowboy - Father's Day 2026

In this Father's Day sermon, Pastor Carl Gully uses the metaphor of natural horsemanship to explore how God pursues relationship with His children through love rather than force. Key themes include God as Father, trust and trauma healing, steadfast love and faithfulness, the character of true authority and the difference between slavery and friendship with God. Drawing from Proverbs 3:3-4, the message teaches that God does not coerce obedience but transforms hearts through patience, gentleness and unconditional love. He covers topics like father wounds, broken models of authority, receiving love after trauma, mental and emotional rewiring and the gospel as the ultimate act of bonded love. This message calls believers to move from performance-based faith to a relationship of oneness with God as a safe and trustworthy Father.

Proverbs on Family

Drawing from Proverbs 24:3-4, Pastor Zach Daniel teaches that the same wisdom, understanding and knowledge God used to create the cosmos is available to every family today, an invitation to bring God to the center of family life. The fear of the Lord becomes the cornerstone that secures a household, marriage is cultivated through both delight and discipline and parents are called to mirror God's love by combining genuine delight with loving correction. God wants to give His church an anointing to restore and strengthen families, bringing redemption into broken histories and wisdom to every season of family life.

The Wise Vs. The Fool: Proverbs Pt. 2

In this message from Proverbs, Mick Murray defines the difference between the wise and the fool, noting that it comes down to a posture of listening. Drawing from over a dozen passages in Proverbs, the sermon traces a consistent thread: the wise receive commandments, desire to understand, heed advice and restrain their words, while the foolish talk too much, vent without restraint and dismiss or even reject correction. Wisdom is not merely about having information, but about the skillful application of that information; the fool is simply the absence of wisdom, just as darkness is the absence of light.
