Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 9:1-5 | As those blessed by God, disciples of Jesus live lives oriented to meeting the needs of our Christian brothers and sisters. And we do this with an open hand, characterized by generosity, and not a clenched fist, characterized by greed.

Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 8:16-24 | As Paul writes about the delegation that he sent to Corinth to take up the collection, he reveals something about the heart that has been transformed by grace. This invites us to consider our own hearts before God. Paul also clarifies that this transformed heart will be expressed through generous giving.

Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 8:11-15 | Paul gives two principles for Christian giving to the church in Corinth. This sermon explores the application of these principles to our lives and encourages us to grow in generosity as the people of God who live in an affluent culture.

Randall Wetzig | Philippians 4:4-7 | Paul expects the church in Philippi—and us by extension—to have joy, to be gentle with everyone, and to experience peace even when poor and suffering. How? Why? Because of a striking reality, hidden within his message.

Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 8:6-10 | Paul encourages the Corinthian church not just to take baby steps in being generous but to excel (or overflow) in generosity. We, too, are called to be generous with the stuff God has entrusted to us. This means resisting the cultural script and embracing the way of the Kingdom. We also look at the three reasons why we are to be generous.

Mark Booker | 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 | This opening sermon in the new series from 2 Corinthians 8-9, "The Grace of Giving," considers the exemplary generosity of the churches in Macedonia. We look at the circumstance, the manner, and the secret of their generosity. The goal of this series is to lead us toward lives that are more aligned with God's kingdom in how we relate to and steward money and possessions.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 31:10-31 | We end our series on the prologue in Proverbs by examining the poem on the valiant, or excellent, wife at the end of Proverbs. Instead of reading this text primarily as the gold standard for womanhood, this sermon encourages us to see this poem as a call and challenge to all of us - whether male or female, young or old, rich or poor - to be people who fear the Lord and who live wisely. As such, it provides a fitting end to the book of Proverbs and to this series on Proverbs 1-9.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 9:1-6, 13-18 | At the end of the prologue in Proverbs (chs. 1-9), we are presented with two rival banquets: one from Woman Wisdom and the other from Dame Folly. This sermon examines the choice between the two, the nature of that choice, and how we might make the choice for wisdom.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 5:15-23 | We don't make much progress in life with God without delighting in him. This sermon offers four reasons that we struggle to delight in God and calls us back to the heart of the gospel.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 4:1-10 | The father calls the son to hear his instruction. This sermon examines the opposite of hearing: being wise in our own eyes and thus shutting our ears to instruction and rebuke. It also explores the heart disposition of one who hears, and presents one key test from Proverbs for discerning whether we are people who hear.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 3:5-12 | This text calls us to trust God and not ourselves, and it shows us the benefits this brings in our lives. To trust God is wise and leads to flourishing. It then explicitly addresses two circumstances in which we are tempted to stop trusting the Lord: in success and in hardship or suffering.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 4:10-19 | The other side of seeking wisdom is avoiding folly. This message exposes the two lies that make folly and evil so dangerous, and calls us back to the path of life before small steps lead somewhere we never intended to go.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 2:1-8 | If we love wisdom, we will seek wisdom. This sermon explores how we're encouraged to seek wisdom in the book of Proverbs, and it grounds this in the good news that God has sought us first in Jesus.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 4:5-10 | This message digs into why wisdom is portrayed as something to be desired, embraced, and loved - not just studied. We look at how rightly ordered love, and loving Jesus above all, is the key to the full and flourishing life for which we were made.

Mark Booker | Proverbs 1:1-7 | This introductory message to a series on Proverbs address the nature and scope of wisdom, how we acquire it, why it matters, and the governing principle of wisdom - the fear of the Lord.
