Proverbs 9
Intro.
In Chapter 8 and 9 we can see the total Praise of Wisdom.
This chapter shows a real contrast between right and wrong at work! We can see God’s invitation to man, as well as Satan’s invitation to man. Man is in the middle, and being called both ways! Clearly it is a picture of life, and the choice, and decision made in life.
December 17, 2025Psalm 107:1-3, 43
Introduction
Poetry in the Psalms is often giving the same message in multiple examples, illustrations, and historical accounts. We find that to be very true in this Psalm. Of course the historical reference is that of the history of Israel, and it would be great to know it. We do not have the time to cover all the history, and the references that are brought out.

Proverbs 12:1-4
Intro.
The word most used in this Proverb is man. This can apply to both man and woman. As the Bible says in 2 Peter 3:11 - Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"
Not a wise guy.

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!

Psalm 119:97
Introduction
If you live in your home, and never change anything, it will be outdated, and break down, and have problems. Electrical wires will start to go bad, the roof will start to leak, the plumbing will have problems, the walls will start to look bad, the flooring would start to wear, the yard would become weed ridden, the bushes, and trees would get out of hand, the driveway would crack, and crumble, your HVAC would stop working, on and on we could go.

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.

Proverbs 18
Proverbs 18:1-5
Wise Person (Pro 18:1)
• You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink
• You can lead a fool to wisdom, but you cannot make him learn.
• You decided to come to church, you choose, with purpose to arrive at church.
• People don’t always choose to do the right thing.

Proverbs 18:6-8
Introduction
Proverbs is FULL of wisdom. Reading, understanding, and applying the wisdom in the Book of Proverbs is of a great benefit to every person. This evening, we need to take just these few verses, and apply them to our life in 2020. It is a “Word to the Wise”.
Prov. 13:1 ¶ A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

Prov. 18:9 ¶ He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
Brothers are usually similar in appearance.

Prov. 18:12 ¶ Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
There are two very distinct pathways laid out before us in this verse.
The one path, is a well worn path, it looks like the most successful of people have traveled that path before… it looks like it is the path to success if you look at it.
