Proverbs 3.27-35 – Neighbors come in all shapes and sizes. Some we get along with really well and some, well, aren’t so easy. Maybe we’re one of the not so easy neighbors to get along with. Solomon provides sound advice on how neighborly we should be toward others. Three groups are identified in this passage and how we are to wisely respond to them. Live wisely toward the needy. Live wisely toward the neighbor. Live wisely toward the nasty.
Proverbs 3.21-26 Feeling drained of your energy? You’re not alone. Scripture has a remedy. It’s found in walking with wisdom. It brings refreshment. It brings rest. It brings reassurance. Follow wisdom, it’s the right path.

Guest speaker and missionary appointee with ABWE, Todd Janes, shares from John 21:18-22 about some essentials in following Christ.
The result of following Christ can include physical death, but certainly includes spiritual death as we die to self in order to follow Christ. Read Romans 6.
There are requirements for following Christ. An essential component is faithful obedience. Following Christ requires focus. It means following a unique path that God has especially designed for us (I Corinthians 12:18). It also requires our full commitment. (Mark 10:28-31; 8:34-38)
Finally, there is a reason for following Christ. It’s ultimately for God’s glory as well as the driving force or purpose for missions. Do all to the glory of God. (John 21:19; 15:5)
Following Christ is a choice. What will you choose today?
Romans 5.6-11 He is risen. He is risen indeed! The cross reveals a number of things about the love God has for us. This passage offers compelling evidence to support that teaching. Maybe you need to be reminded again about how much God loves you.
Matthew 21.1-11 Have your ever missed the obvious? The crowds on the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem missed all the signs pointing to the kind of Messiah Jesus was. That didn’t matter. They still clamoured for Jesus to rid them of Roman oppression. Maybe, just maybe you have missed Him by a mile too. It’s not too late. See Him today as the Messiah who offers salvation.
