Midweek Devotional for November 4, 2026: Proverbs 12:2
| Devotional
Wednesday, November 4, 2026 “A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, But He will condemn a man who devises evil.” (Proverbs 12:2) Proverbs 12:2 presents a striking contrast between two kinds of people and their standing before God. The first is described as a good man, one whose life is characterized by righteousness, integrity, and a desire to please the Lord. The second is a man who devises evil, one whose wickedness extends beyond occasional sinful behavior to ...

Two Inevitable Conclusions 1 John 2:7–17 Summary of What Was Preached The apostle John presents two inevitable conclusions that arise from the revelation of God in Jesus Christ.

| Devotional
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 “The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.” (Proverbs 11:25) Proverbs 11:25 presents a beautiful expression of the Biblical principle that generosity brings blessings not only to those who receive but also to those who give. Solomon employs the imagery of watering to illustrate a remarkable truth: the person who refreshes others will himself experience refreshment. Rather than diminishing our resources and well-being, generosity often becomes the means ...

Proof of Life 1 John 2:1–6 Summary of What Was Preached The apostle John teaches that a genuine profession of faith in Jesus Christ must be accompanied by evidence of spiritual life. The gospel does not merely change what a person believes or professes; it changes how that person lives. John begins with a tender expression of pastoral concern, addressing his readers as his little children and urging them not to sin. Yet he immediately reminds them that when ...

Sermon Preview For Sunday, October 25, 2026 Proof of Life 1 John 2:1–6 What evidence should we expect to find in the life of someone who professes to know Jesus Christ? Is a verbal declaration of faith sufficient, or does the Gospel produce something that can be observed in the way a person lives? These are questions of tremendous importance, and they are at the heart of the apostle John's teaching in this week's passage. In 1 John 2:1–6, ...

| Devotional
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, but the treacherous will be caught by their own greed. (Proverbs 11:6) This proverb presents one of the recurring themes of Biblical wisdom: Righteousness provides a measure of protection, while wickedness carries within itself the seeds of destruction. Solomon contrasts two kinds of people, two ways of living, and two very different outcomes. The Context Proverbs 11 contains a series of observations contrasting righteousness and wickedness, integrity ...

Midweek Devotional for October 14, 2026: Proverbs 11:1
| Devotional
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight. (Proverbs 11:1) Although chapter 11 consists largely of individual proverbs addressing different aspects of life, there is a unifying subject throughout much of the chapter: the contrast between righteousness and wickedness, and how those two ways of life reveal themselves in everyday conduct. This first verse provides a good introduction because it takes something as ordinary as a commercial transaction ...
