Things the Lord hates!
#
Proverbs 6:16-19
Intro.
It is stated several times in the Bible that man has hated God! But no
where in the Scripture will you find God hating man. You find quite the
opposite!
“For [God so loved]{.underline} the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Lessons from Proverbs 10
#
Proverbs 10
Intro.
Up until now, we have been in the introduction to the Book of Proverbs.
The word “proverb” is defined as
1. A short sentence often repeated, expressing a well known truth or
common fact, ascertained by experience or observation; a maxim of
wisdom. (Webster’s American Dictionary 1828)
Each proverb stands on it’s own. Think of them as individual ponds of
water, not a continuous flow of a river. We are going to try to take
larger themes from each chapter to keep us moving through the book. We
could spend the next 5 years going through every verse, but we have a
whole Bible to study.

Revelation 13:1-
Introduction
There is a lot of information in this chapter, which again, helps us
understand the context of the book of Revelation. There is a lot of
description given here. This chapter also goes along with Daniel chapter
7. It is well worth noting cross referencing the verses there with this
chapter.

Importance of Words
#
Proverbs 13
Intro.
Words have a profound effect on people, and lives. Words are used to
express an opinion, or idea that one may have. The Bible gives ample
warning about the use of our tongue, mouth, and lips in the form of
words. Words have been known to start a war, take the very life from
people. Words have also been used to build some very successful people
in the world. Words were used to frame our very Constitution, and Bill
of Rights. Words can be used to accurately record history, or
misconstrue historical facts. Words are important!

Mark 14:1-9
Introduction
Last week we looked at the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had just gone through the end times with the disciples on the mount of Olives. We literally could spend weeks on that chapter, but let’s move on through the Gospel of Mark as we continue. We are drawing to the close of the Gospel of Mark. Mark 14 is the longest chapter, and is the beginning of the end, Jesus death, burial and resurrection.

Glimpse of Light
#
Revelation 14:1-5
Introduction
We continue in the parenthetical chapters which are shedding light on
the overall picture of things, and are not part of the timeline. They do
help us understand the timeline of events, but are not considered the
next step in the timeline. You will remember, we left off on the 2^nd^
woe, the Sixth Trumpet in Rev 9:13, then of course the introduction is
made in Rev 11:14-15 that the 3^rd^ woe, or the 7^th^ Trumpet cometh
quickly, but that doesn’t fully get explained until Chapter 17… and
seven vials are contained in that 7^th^ Trumpet.

What Does God See?
#
Proverbs 15:3
Intro.
What does God see? If we could be mindful of this in our life all the
time, it would be of great value and benefit to the way we live our life
from day to day.
I. Power of Words (1,2,3a)
#
A. Soft Words - (1)
#
Doesn’t imply a weak or compromising answer.
Jesus often gave a soft answer when dealing with the Pharisees who came
accusing Jesus in attempts to trap Him.

Four Features of a Fool
#
Intro.
Fool is a prominent word in Chapter 17. We do understand that the
Proverbs are not a continuous flow of thoughts, but rather a collection
of wise sayings. By selecting a prominent word, by no means am I
covering the entirety of the chapter. I have only selected a few
proverbs that appear in the same chapter, and teaching on them. There
are many themes, and lessons that can be learned from chapter 17 that
will not be touched tonight… so by all means, do take the time to read
Proverbs 17, and see other things written in there.
