Why Are People So Different?
Why do we have so many languages, cultural differences, and world religions? This wasn’t the way God intended humanity to live. From the start of earth, there was to be diversity in creation but uniformity in mission.

The Call of Wisdom (Proverbs 1:20-33)
Many Christians believe in Christ but struggle with wisdom and discernment. Thus, when tough judgment calls or relational conflicts emerge, they’re caught flatfooted. The reason we need wisdom is that some answers to the challenges of our day aren’t black and white. They’re gray and nuanced.

Guard Against Sin
God created you to glorify and enjoy him forever. The easiest way to break your satisfying relationship with God is to sin. When we sin, it is a stab to the very heart of God and the number one way we create barriers in our relationship with him.
