The Book of Proverbs provides God’s wisdom for living life. King Solomon, the wisest King of Israel, penned this incredible book of wisdom. It addresses practical issues like: friendship, integrity, marriage, money, matters of the heart, resisting temptation, and dealing with trials. Wisdom for living is found in this amazing book — it promises life to those who follow its advice and death to those who ignore it. Learn how to “Get Wisdom” for your life.
This is a 14 week series that runs from January 5, 2019 through April 7, 2019
The key verse: Proverbs 4:7 — “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.”
During the course of this series, we challenge you to read one chapter of Proverbs per day!

Jacob
Jacob is one of the key figures in the entire Bible. He was the son of Isaac, and the grandson of Abraham. In this lesson we will see that although Jacob had many shortcomings and was known as a deceiver, God blessed him anyway. In chapters 32 and 33 of Genesis we are told how God finally humbled Jacob and literally wrestled him into a position of helplessness and desperation. Of course, this is just where God wanted him! Throughout this bizarre narrative, we will learn four lessons which prove that Jesus is indeed better than Jacob!
From Series: "Jesus is Better Draper"
The stories of the Old Testament can sometimes be unfamiliar to us as Christians. It says in Romans 15:4, "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." But, like this verse in Romans states, they were written to instruct us. Join us as we spend 12 weeks studying through a variety of Old Testament characters. Studying their lives in greater detail will both instruct and challenge us. But, it doesn't stop there. These Old Testament characters don't simply instruct and encourage us. They also point (like a big, old laser beam) to Jesus. Jesus is the ultimate example of what it means to live a life of faith. All of these heroes of the Old Testament are ultimately a version of or a picture of Jesus. Join us as Jesus is Better!
