Join all four LW pastors in a look at the parable of the soils.

Christianity isn't centered on memories or keepsakes. Christ has risen! And He longs to have a personal relationship with you.

The world's definition of 'greatness' differs from Jesus' example. (Please note the livestream of today's service does not include the opening worship.)

The power of the Bible is revealed when we realize who Jesus is and the work He has done. It can open our hearts and ignite us to the core of missions.

Commitment. Love. Trust. These three attributes of God are crucial for a healthy marriage.

No matter how deep a rut or profound a crisis your marriage is in, both of you allowing Jesus to work in you can bring about a better marriage than you could ever imagine.

Marriage is not about happiness or living happily ever after. It's about the commitment and hard work of doing life with this person you have chosen.

In proportion to our income, we place a certain value on things in our life...house, car, education. As Christ followers we should give 10% of our income. What does your budget say about the value God has in your life?

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…

Jesus is our Prince of Peace who came down to become one of us.

The world knows us by what we 'have.' Heaven knows us by what we 'give.' Celebrate the baptisms of those who gave their hearts to Jesus and now publicly want to declare that to the world. Then go on to celebrate Christmas by giving a piece of your heart to others and sharing Christ's love.

Your life and what you do… REALLY MATTER. Hear about four myths we might believe regarding work. Look at biblical guidelines of how we should go into our typical day and what role responsibility plays in our life.

A look at adultery and temptation in the book of Proverbs. Consider analyzing the following... 1. Where are you tempted? 2. When are you tempted? 3. Why are you tempted? And come up with a plan to help you run from sin... 1. Choose scripture verses to read and memorize. 2. Write how you will resist when tempted. 3. What does fleeing temptation look like for you? 4. Repent quickly when you fail.

A look at what Proverbs has to say about money and generosity...wise choices we can make that honor God and bring blessing.

A look at Proverbs chapter 22 verse by verse...wisdom directly from the Word of God that we pray we would apply to our lives.

Homework: As you read through Proverbs, grab hold of 5-7 verses you can claim as rules to live by. Add 3-5 of your own wisdom gems you already have established in your life. Embrace how supremelyimportant wisdom is.

Wisdom is living God’s truth out in your everyday life. Consider reading 4 chapters of Proverbs a week during our 7 week series and gain wisdom for your own walk with God.

How does the world deal with the issue of grief & loss? Learn the differences between the worlds' wisdom vs. God's regarding how Christians should grieve.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)

All because of Faith: We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. Romans 3:22

When the storm in life overwhelms you, is Jesus enough?

Very truly I tell you, anyone who sins is a slave to sin… If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed. Jesus

“All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery [is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” -Mere Christianity
