James 1:21-27)…..²¹ Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. ²⁵ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is …

This morning let’s look at Paul’s words of exortation to Timothy, his young disciple in Christ, saying (2 Timothy 4:2 to, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” Now someone might ask, Why should we preach the Word?Let me just say, preaching is important to God! The Bible says that God has “manifested His word through preaching” (Titus 1:3). Jesus told his disciples that “repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name beginning at Jerusalem” …

(Psalm 33:10-17)…..The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. ¹¹ The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. ¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. ¹³ The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. ¹⁴ From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; ¹⁵ He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. ¹⁶ No king is saved by the multitude of …

Where does Godly wisdom come from? Is it found in the many books we read, or the things we watch on tv, or some other electronic gaget? This morning I want to speak to the treasure that is hidden in the Father and in Christ, “wisdom.” We know that God had given Solomon great wisdom, for sure more than any other of his time. God used him to declare and show the wisdom of God to God’s people. We know that the book of Proverbs was written for the purpose …

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. ² For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, ³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,⁴ God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according …
