Today is the last Sunday of our series, Street Smarts, and today we focus on the power of Words!. God gave us words that bring life and we have been given the choice what we want to do with words - give life or death, help or harm.

You Don't Know if All

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Proverbs 3:4–7, Psalm 119:105, James 1:5–8

Do you know some "know-it-all's?" Aren't they annoying? And what about ourselves. Do we act like know it all? We have all the answers! Or do we? This week we look at the limitations we have in our human understanding and learn that wisdom is realizing we don't have all the answers and we do not always understand the reality of things.

The Outside reflects what is Inside

July 14, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Proverbs 4:23, Psalm 51:10, Luke 6:43–45

This is week 2 our our sermon series, Street Smarts: Wisdom for the Book of Proverbs. Join us as we explore how to live a positive and wise life by taking a closer look at what we allow into our lives.

Where Wisdom Begins

July 7, 2024 • Pastor Jim Mericle • Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 3:14–24, Proverbs 28:13

Today we begin a 4-week sermon series that focuses on how to live a smarter life following the wisdom of God, especially from the Book of Proverbs. We will also celebrate Holy Communion today. If your would like to receive Jesus in this sacrament, then have bread/crackers and wine/juice ready.
