Once again calling the attention of the student of wisdom in verse 11 with the adjuration "my son·: Solomon continues with an exposition of the virtues of wisdom in verses 11-20 of chapter 3. We find here, in the light of her great benefits, that wisdom is rejected at an infinite cost of our souls. On the other hand ... Would you have great stores of wealth? Would you have abundant life? -Then "Lady Wisdom" is your best friend and you are in the company of the Lord Himself who by wisdom created all things in heaven and on earth.

Psalm 135 publishes a command to worship Yahweh and chronicles occasions for worship from nature, history, and covenant. Echoing themes from Ps 134, Ps 135 opens reprising a call to worship extending firstly to those with priestly duties commissioned to serve the Lord in His house (temple). The song continues by recounting & extolling works of the Lord and condemning the foolishness of idolatry. Finally Psalm 135 closes with another call to worship chorus this time broadcasting across the world that all the people of God might join him in song. Note: portions of this song might sound familiar. Verses 15-21 are a nearly word-for-word parallel with Ps 115:4-13 reminding us that the church has gathered together to repeat songs of worship for millennia from the days of leather scrolls to our own assembly here today.…
 
John's gospel introduces Jesus by way of His pre-incarnate glory in the first 18 verses typically referred to as "The Prologue of John". (This was our text for last week's sermon entitled: "Introducing Jesus"). The introduction of Jesus in John continues by way of testimony in verses that follow. The message of the book and John's intentions in writing are reinforced by his introduction. Later he will reveal emphatically that he himself is providing testimony (20:31) so that" ... You may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name." A primary vehicle for revelation in John's gospel is that of 151 hand testimony defined by Webster as: "A solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact." In our text today, he features the testimony of John the Baptist.…
 
How do the Gospel writers introduce Jesus? The question of where to begin recounting the world's greatest narrative with an eternal back story would be a daunting task indeed. All 4 gospels begin in different ways providing a multi-faceted perspective on the greatest eventsI n history. The Gospel authors were keenly aware of the significance of the historical timing of the incarnation Just as Gene noted from Paul's letter to the Romans last sermon( Rom 5:6)" At the right time Christ died for the ungodly". In today's message we will seek to glean more insight on the timing of the incubation from the vantage point of four Spirit inspired witnesses.…
 
In I Cor chapter 7, Paul continues with his teaching strategy introduced in chapter 6. Adding to the phrases: All things are lawful for me• & the phrase: -Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food', Paul addresses a 3rd popular notion of the day denoted by the phrase 'It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman· (7: 1). This was a matter of concern the Corinthian church had addressed In their own letter to Paul. The apostle takes the occasion of the cultural presumptions of Corinth to provide Biblical correction as necessary alongside helpful applications to disciple these new believers. Paul's instruction presents helpful teaching for us today on these particular matters as well as a model approach to address popular notions of our own time. Here he is demonstrating the principle he will lay out in his 2nd epistle to the church (II Cor 10:5). Paul is taking thoughts on human relationships including marriage captive to obey Christ.…
 
Our passage today introduces another unique feature which will resurface later in the book of Proverbs. The ascending numerical device of verse 16 is a feature of Wisdom Literature & Hebrew poetry. The 6 followed by 7 reference is designed to emphasize that the author's point Is strengthened by the frequency of examples, the number of which exceeds his present accounting. One commentary explains the implicit message of this proverb structure is: • ... to invite further appropriate answers. Wisdom literature often lists things together that are perceived to have something in common. Relationships are established in surprising ways, and the process of discerning orderly relationships in the universe increases wisdom: -Other examples of numerical Proverbs include Prov 30:18-31, Amos 1 :3-13, 2:4-5, & Job 5:19. --Proverbs of this type have been called: numerical ladders or instances of numerical heightening.…
 
The first half of Proverbs chapter 6 contrasts the ambitions of the wise with the efforts of the wicked. The student of wisdom will work to reinforce a stable and virtuous vision for life while the fool uses corruption as leverage to benefit himself at the expense of others and God's design for relationships. Proverbs 6 contains perhaps the 10th 'My Son' oracle. Here again the 'father' (as the classic example) stands for: the source of wisdom. The son (as the classic example) stands for: the student of wisdom. These are joined by the forbidden woman introduced in the last chapter as the classic example standing for: sources of temptation.…
 
Ps 134 is a fitting conclusion & crescendo to the Songs of Ascent summarizing central themes of this catalogue in the Psalter. In the context of temple worship at the time of authorship, Psalm 134 serves as an appropriate salutation and benediction. In its historical context, the people wave “goodbye” to the priests returning to their various vocations while their representatives perform the sacrifices in their stead. The promise & picture of a tireless priesthood is celebrated in this anthem. The hopes of Israel at the time rested upon the shoulders of many mortal men, themselves sinners, to intercede on their behalf with merely symbolic sacrifices day & night in the house of the Lord. —Not so today! We have our great eternal, omnipotent High Priest Jesus Christ! (Hebrews 7:22-25). And as such, priestly duties of spiritual service unto God now fall in a secondary sense on all believers (I Peter 2:5) as they step through the veil (Heb 10:19-22) torn at Calvary into otherwise unmediated communion with God. Thus, on this side of the New Covenant, the call to worship of Psalm 134 extends beyond the old tabernacle order to all believers… Come bless the Lord all you servants of the Lord!…
 
In I Cor 6:12-13, Paul cites several general statements that are context dependent. In light of what the Apostle has addressed thus far and what he proceeds to cover in this chapter, Paul provides categorical qualifications to equip the church with discernment pertaining to matters of moral order within their community given the norms of society around them. Remember, the Corinthian church was just down the street from a bustling cultural center boasting the great wealth of a dual port city and international religious tourism making pilgrimage to the goddess Aphrodite and engaging in rampant prostitution and other debauchery she stood for.…
 
In Titus chapter 2, Paul lays out the qualities and characteristics of the biblical woman. He gives instruction on how they are to conduct themselves, as well as instruction relevant to their God given role. Although men and women have different roles in God's plan for the church and the family, they are equally as important, and it is essential for women to know how to navigate their calling in an ever changing culture.…
 
We have noted how the entire book of Proverbs by design is an exposition of the 5th commandment (Ex20:12) “Honor your father & your mother...”. Properly applied within the covenant home, Solomon demonstrates that to obey this commandment is to obey them all. In this way, the framework of Proverbs presents an exhortation to all parties in society. If we serve as a source of wisdom for anyone, especially our children, may our instruction be consistent with all the law of God. As we are students of wisdom, under anyone, especially our Christian parents, may we honor the whole council of God in honoring them. In chapter 5, the author emphasizes the relationship between the 5th & 7th commandments. Those who heed the council of their godly parents, will not commit adultery, instead their upbringing will prepare them to discern and resist unfaithfulness to their covenants with God and their family.…
 
The poetic imagery of this song evokes the beauty and blessings of condescension. Anointing oil poured from above, dew falling, as it were, from on high and appearing at the mountain of God where heaven touches earth. Ps 133 expounds in metaphor the precious gift of the God-glorifying communion of the saints. David compares the gift of brotherly love to blessings descending from the storehouses of glory reassuring the people of the Lord's favor, faithfulness, and sufficiency. Paired with the Lord's prayer in Mat 6:10, it is clear, one sign of God's will and kingdom present on this earth is the sweetness of Christian fellowship. Where Jacob's ladder is touching ground, brethren dwell together in unity. For those who have the atonement of Christ in common, there can be no greater experience of solidarity and joy so long as we walk in the Spirit. Let us repair our souls to the affections expressed in Psalm 133 as we behold this text.…
 
Yet today, despite the moral degradation of our society, in a court room the judge is referred to as “Your Honor”, to acknowledge the solemn duty and sacred authority of justice. If order breaks down at any point in the court proceedings, what does the judge do? He takes up the gavel (symbolic of his authority) and strikes the desk, reminding the court of their appropriate disposition in the context of the moment. We recognize we dare not disrespect the solemn and consequential responsibility of the occasion and the presiding officer. These are matters of life and death, not trivial diversions. This is one of the few remaining such rituals in our culture broadly speaking. How much more important are matters of eternal life and death and therefore how much more sacred honor is warranted in the worship of Jesus Christ and the order of His church?…
