Series: Potholes

Proverbs 24:30-34
I. Introduction
Welcome to Mission Hills and to our new summer series, Potholes. I'm really excited about this series.
I remember years ago, I was driving this old Nissan station wagon and one weekend I was driving home from college for spring break and everything was going fine. I was kind of on autopilot and I had turned off the highway and onto the road that would take me back to my parent's house. It was a nice straight road and, honestly, I just wasn't paying all that much attention and all of the sudden BAM! The car went down and then back up and I looked in the rearview mirror and I saw two things. First, I saw a big ole pothole that had opened up on the road over the winter and second, I saw parts of my car bouncing along the road behind me. Getting it running right again took a lot of time and money.
That's the potentially destructive power of potholes, whether we're talking about potholes on literal roads or on the road of life. Potholes on literal roads might take out our muffler or our transmission. They might bust up our suspension. But potholes in the road of life can destroy our relationships, kill our hopes and dream and take us off the mission God made us for.
So this series is all about finding wisdom from God's Word to identify and avoid these unexpected and destructive potholes in the road of life.
Our guide for this series is going to be the book of Proverbs. Now Proverbs is a little different than a lot of the other books of the Bible because its mostly made of up soundbites. There aren't any real stories or even extended teaching sessions in the book of Proverbs. Instead, we mostly have short sayings that give us God's wisdom about a whole bunch of important topics. So why don't you go ahead and grab a bible and start making your way to Proverbs chapter 10.
