Various Proverbs
KKA last week and next, Today, during our business meeting we will be voting to affirm a new part-time Children's Ministry Director, more about that at the end of our service. -- A heavy dose of family ministry for three weeks here, and today from Proverbs I want to talk about the family. What does wisdom look like in the family unit?
We know family is God's idea, in the beginning He created the first family. It consisted of a man and a woman, Adam and Eve. That first family was told to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. -- That family sinned against God, rebelled... The first family was pretty Soap Opera-esque (Cain and Able).. -- Every family sense is FLAWED.
Here were are so many generations later... the Redeemer promised to come through Eve has come...King Jesus, the Son of David, the offspring of Eve, the seed of Abraham, the Eternal Son of God, the Word become flesh. -- He has come to reconcile us to God, to save us from sin's penalty, it's power, and its presence. -- Yet, here in this life... Christ follower's are saved from sin's penalty, we are being saved from it's power... yet we still swim in its presence all around us every day. We wrestle against it, we seek to through Christ walk in victory over it... but we struggle, we fail, and we get up and we keep going by God's grace.
In a fallen world, with so much brokenness, how do we walk in wisdom in the family unit? The answer to this question is more than I can give in one sermon. However, Proverbs has some practical help for us for how do we pursue wisdom in family.
Prov. 1:8-9- Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, 9 for they are a graceful garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.
In the very first chapter of the book the family unit is introduced. We see the family as this school of wisdom where parents are imparting wisdom to the chil ...
