Our journey through Proverbs reignites today.  Today’s class will we orientation and introduction.  Next week we begin with Proverbs 1.

As background please read the story of the life of King Solomon in 1 Kings chapter 2 – 11.

Next week join me for a wrap up conversation and the presentation of the 10 Proverbs I can’t live without.

This might be a good time to bring a friend to introduce them and get ready for our next session which will begin the first TUE in August. AUG 4th, 2015.

Also look for my summary of Ecclesiastes to follow soon.

32CH Lesson 2E – Divine Timing 32CH Lesson 3E – Real Power 32CH Lesson 4E – Choose Joy 05MAY2015

This lesson centers on God, the creator of time, being in control of time and everything that happens.  It all has a purpose and a time and when you trust God with whatever time it is in your life you know a timeless peace and joy.

Welcome to Pastor Solomon’s opus sermon on life!

His summary is that it’s all smoke.

After two personal encounters with God, being given more wisdom than another man before or since, he still was left with the harsh reality that he wasn’t wise enough to out live death and that certain things don’t come as a result of wisdom they are a GIFT from god.

Much of Solomon’s wisdom went to waste.  He was searching for the one thing he already had, a trust relationship with God.

Solomon also didn’t know how to enjoy the present moment.  He’s been given the superpower of wisdom but it lost it’s purpose.  Wisdom without purpose is poison.

In these first two chapters of Ecclesiastes Solomon gives us the first batch of results from his research.

Here’s some of what he researched for us:

Research (results)

The pursuit of wisdom (smoke)

Pleasure (smoke)

Building cities (smoke)

Money (smoke)

Power (smoke)

Sex (smoke)

Work (smoke)

Solomon recognized that in the end we all die.  Period.  No exemptions.

So he decides to preach a sermon about what gives life meaning.  And he says:

1. Enjoy your life.

2. Enjoy your work.

3. Be present.

No lunch will be served but I will be providing Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

See you Wednesday.  We will be concluding this cycle on Chapter 31

Good Morning!

This is Holy Week, the walk up to Easter Sunday.  As we remember what God through his beloved son has done for us let us rejoice.  The victory secured for us at Calvary means we win.  Set aside all your fears.  Christ is risen.  Your debt has been paid in full.  Receive his grace.  Trust him with every facet of your life.  May you know, grow and go with HIS wisdom.

I’m sorry that i can’t be with you today.  The notes for this week and the week before are here on the blog below.  Special thanks to Diondre for stepping in and stepping up!

I will be back with you on next TUE as we finish this cycle with Proverbs 31.

This also is a personal request that you pray for me this week.

You were created for leadership.  Wise leadership shows up in how you use your mind, eyes, ears, mouth and heart.
