In this sermon, we move into the second theme that is the most dominant in Proverbs; our speech. Solomon has a lot to say about our words and it is our speech which is the truest revealer of our spiritual condition.

In our journey through 1 Peter, we now come to the Apostle is showing us the ultimate example of submission in the Lord Jesus. He serves as the model for our submission in all relationships.
As we continue our study of the Old Testament book, Proverbs, we work our way through the eighteen references to the fear of the Lord in Proverbs and see how practical this truth is in our Christian walks.
In this sermon we continue to look at the three relationships where submission is called for – our public lives as citizens, our vocational lives in the workplace and home life, and our marriages. We will now move on to the second one – our lives in our callings at work and home. In our journey through 1 Peter, the Apostle is showing us how to live as salt and light in decaying culture.
In this sermon we continue our study of the Old Testament book, Proverbs, identifying the theme of the book as well as what defines the motivator and sustainer for all Christian living – the fear of the Lord. From Genesis and on through the Revelation we will highlight the predominant place this fear has in God’s Word.
In our journey through 1 Peter, the Apostle is showing us how to live as salt and light in decaying culture. And the first point of emphasis he makes is what describes the whole of the Christian life – submission. He will unfold three relationships where this submission is called for – our public lives as citizens, our vocational lives in the workplace, and our marriages in our homes. We will be in the first one – our public life as citizens.
