Address Your Anger

July 10, 2022 • Pastor Bill West • Proverbs 29:11, Proverbs 14:29–30, Proverbs 15:1, Proverbs 24:28–29, Proverbs 25:21–22

We are an angry nation-we’ve all been hurt by others and we have hurt others. Our government has failed us-sometimes the church has disappointed us and our families have come up short. We must learn to recognize our anger and the danger uncontrolled anger can have for us and for others. We must figure out how to deal with the anger in our lives in a good and healthy way that allows us to control it well and not pass it on to others.

Care for the Poor

August 14, 2022 • Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 14:20–21, Proverbs 19:4, Proverbs 19:7, Proverbs 21:13

It can be a challenge to know how to respond to those who are poor. But God is clear that we must be attentive to the needs of the poor and that those of us who are rich are to be generous to them and share what we have. We have what we have not just for our benefit but for the benefit of others. We will address the attitudes that we have about the poor and the fact that all of us have the same Maker.

Learn to Listen

July 31, 2022 • Pastor Phil Burdoin • Proverbs 13:18, Proverbs 12:1, Proverbs 13:13, Proverbs 12:13, Proverbs 13:10

Most of us have gotten into trouble more than once because we refused to listen to others-even those who truly love us and are committed to us. Pride and foolishness often keep us from taking advice and input from others. Listening well takes humility and a willingness to learn and be corrected. The truly smart and wise people are those who are willing to listen to others-even their enemies if they are speaking the truth. Who are the people that are speaking into your life and are you listening? Learn to Listen
