Three Observations about the Wise
#
Proverbs 21:11
Introduction
If you want to learn something, it is best to study someone who is
successful. You don’t study someone who is poor, on how to handle
finances (unless you are looking for what not to do). You don’t get
counsel from someone who isn’t married about marriage. You don’t get
wisdom from a fool. So it is very appropriate that we would get three
observations about wise people, from the wisest man that ever lived. God
has preserved these timeless truths in His Word, for us to learn from.

Proverbs of Life
#
Proverbs 21
Introduction
We have the six miscellaneous verses left in Proverbs 21 that I couldn’t
put into a category. So we will cover several things and try to get
through all of them this evening. These could all be thrown into a very
general category of Life. How to live life.
I. Choosing a Right spirit (attitude) or spouse (9, 19)

Revelation 22:1-5
Introduction
We have arrived at the final chapter of Revelation. We started our
series on July 24, 2022. So it has taken us exactly one year to get
through the book of Revelation on Sunday nights. In one year, we have
only heard 35 messages on the book of Revelation. We took a little more
time in the first three chapters, then we took one chapter per service.
Through the series, I hope it has been educational, exhorting, and
encouraging to you.

Proverbs 22:1
I. Testimony (Pro 22:1) Testimony
#
A. Fictional - False Image
#
1. Virtual Image
#
- One of the greatest inherent dangers of the internet, is anyone with a
little computer knowledge, can create a website, false credentials,
and look good on a website!
- Crooks, scam artists, the identity thieves do it
- One of my problems with ‘virtual church’
- Image you portray online… what do you paint as yourself.
- People often mask who they are, and what they represent.
- This is a serious danger of meeting people online
- Police do this in sting operations, posing as someone they are not.
3. Who you really are???
#
- You know in your heart, what is in there.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than
any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.

3 Warnings
#
Proverbs 22:2
Introduction
A warning is an alarm that sounds for a particular reason. If the fire
alarm were to sound in the building, you would get up, and make your way
outside quickly. It is an alarm. Sometimes we become conditioned to
ignore the alarm going off! Many times in homes, the smoke alarm sounds,
and it is often just something that has burned in the kitchen, and we
grow used to just ignoring the alarm. You are faithful and I appreciate
your faithfulness, I don’t want us, me or you to become use to hearing
the alarm, and just dismissing it.

Looking ahead – Two Trails
#
Watch out! Watch where you are going! Be Careful!
Proverbs 22:3
Introduction
This verse sums up what we will look at this evening. Simply put, watch
where you are going! When you have kids, you are always looking out for
them. Watching where they are going, and what is going on. How many
times have you kept your child from running into something or someone
because they were not watching where they were going! Spiritually we
need to be on watching where we are going, and where we will end up.

Friends
#
Proverbs 22:9
Introduction
The friends we have and make, in life tell a lot about us. The Bible has
a lot to say about friendship, we will not cover it all in a single
lesson. We will simply touch a few points on the subject.
Verse 9 could easily fit into a financial category about generosity and
giving, it also fits into a friendship category. Giving to others, and
befriending the poor. That is something that Jesus did in his earthly
ministry. It is usually the poor that need friends, and the help that we
can offer. People who are rich, often have more friends than they know
what to do with, and half of their friends are not really friends, but
fleas looking for what they can get.

What God Wants
#
Proverbs 22:17-21, 12
Introduction
You can spend a lifetime studying the Word of God. There has never been
a book written like the Word of God. It is a timeless book, that speaks
to the heart of the listener like NO OTHER literary work on earth! That
is because it is a heavenly book, that originated in heaven, was given
on earth, preserved through the ages. You are holding it in your hands
today. Tonight, I want to give a very clear message recorded in the Word
of God on what God wants for each person! Nothing is worse, than not
knowing what is expected of you in a given situation.

2 Samuel 5:1-5
Introduction
Leadership is important, but godly leadership is far better than worldly leadership. The majority of books on leadership (even many of those authored by christians) emphasize a humanistic, worldly type of leadership over God’s leadership manual.
Humanistic leadership is used to in the professional world to build corporations, and is vastly different a style than that of spiritual leadership taught and emphasized in the Scripture.

Doctrine of the Holy Bible
#
Introduction
Last week we noted that the church is responsible for doctrinal purity.
1 Timothy 3:15 — But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
We noted in 1 Timothy 4, there is 1. Bad Doctrine, 2. Good Doctrine, Then we must 3. Attend to doctrine (take responsibility to teach) and 4. Continue in Doctrine, not change, not be swayed.
