Seeking Wisdom Together – Proverbs 8, 1-21

Does not wisdom call?Does not understanding raise her voice?² On the heights beside the way,at the crossroads she takes her stand; ³ beside the gates in front of the town,at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:  ⁴ “To you, O men, I call,and my cry is to the children of man.  ⁵ O simple ones, learn prudence;O fools, learn sense.  ⁶ Hear, for I will speak noble things,and from my lips will come what is right,  ⁷ for my mouth will utter truth;wickedness is an abomination to my lips.  ⁸ All the words of my mouth are righteous;there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.  ⁹ They are all straight to him who understands,and right to those who find knowledge.  ¹⁰ Take my instruction instead of silver,and knowledge rather than choice gold, ¹¹ for wisdom is better than jewels,and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.  ¹² “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,  and I find knowledge and discretion.  ¹³ The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.  Pride and arrogance and the way of eviland perverted speech I hate.  ¹⁴ I have counsel and sound wisdom;I have insight; I have strength.  ¹⁵ By me kings reign,and rulers decree what is just; ¹⁶ by me princes rule,and nobles, all who govern justly.  ¹⁷ I love those who love me,and those who seek me diligently find me.  ¹⁸ Riches and honor are with me,  enduring wealth and righteousness.  ¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.  ²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness,in the paths of justice,  ²¹ granting an inheritance to those who love me,  and filling their treasuries.

Come tomorrow as we hear the final few verses on the Bread of Life discourse in the morning worship, when many of those that have been following Christ turn away and no longer follow him.

Then that night, we will continue in our study of 1 Samuel 7 and the Covenant of David, as Samuel leads the Isrealites to turn from pagan Gods and re-commit to follow Yahweh!

Also come and support our youth lunch fundraiser to help with the costs of youth summer trips and our PM fellowship after evening worship!

This Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm, come to the Columbus Court House for a Sanctity of Life prayer vigil.  Our speaker will be Gary Bynum, originally of Collierville, TN and serves as the Vice Chairman or the Board of Directors of Life Choices of Memphis.  He is a Pilot for Fed Ex and reserve instructor Pilot at Columbus Air Force Base and lived in Caledonia, MS from 1999-2006, where he was a member of East End Baptist Church.

Our service will begin at 2:30pm and will involve Scripture reading, a time of worship led by Randy Comer of Woodland Baptist Church, and readers from our local community.  Please come and join us as we remind the world of the Sanctity of Life!

Everyone come join us tonight for our periodic “coming together” when the youth ministry comes and joins us for Bible study in the Sanctuary.  Tonight Brad will take prayer requests, the youth will read Scripture and lead us in worship and I will preach from Proverbs 7, one of the more explicit teachings against adultery and sexual immorality in Proverbs.  It will be good night to be reminded about relational purity.

INVITE A FRIEND!!  INVITE A FRIEND!!  INVITE A FRIEND!!

Master’s Voice is an evangelism team of four men, and their families, devoted to sing and preach the overwhelming and life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ until all know! Please pray for MV as they stand on the promise of John 12:32 when Jesus says, “and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”

What can a person expect from a MV event? Expect high-energy! Expect to laugh, cry and enjoy the powerful vocals and arrangements from your favorite classic gospel songs, to some new and fresh gospel songs. The motivation is for all to leave different than they came!

Please prayerfully consider Masterʼs Voice for any of the following: Concerts, Revivals, Conferences, Conventions, Fairs, Festivals, etc.

Masterʼs Voice is more than merely a southern gospel group. We know and understand that faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom. 10:17), and that it is through the foolishness of preaching, not singing, that men are saved (1 Cor. 1:21); so with that in mind, MV has a heart for the preaching of Godʼs word, so if you are in need of a revival or would like to know how to get MV to your conference, we would be honored to be involved as heavily as needed, whether it be music only, preaching only, or both.
