A popular question is, "are we living in the last days?" Pastor Chris expounds on the effects of social media giving us a more global view. This supports what we read in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, which describe 19 characteristics of culture in the last days. Applying these characteristics to todays world, we should always live in such a way that the last days are imminent. So, there is urgency in the message. Everyone should read The Book of Revelation (of Jesus Christ). The book is an encouragement to the believer and a severe warning to the non-believer. The beginning of the Book of Revelation (of Jesus Christ) introduces us to seven facets of the Book and their significance.

Where does one begin in attempting to refine the book of Proverbs to a 'Top 10'? For the conclusion of the 'Get Wisdom Series', we learn the 'Top 10 Proverbs' of the church family as well as those of Pastor Chris. We also are asked, 'if King Solomon had so much wisdom, why did he fall?' Then we ask ourselves, 'why wouldn't we heed so much wisdom if it's so good for us?' The truth is that sometimes we let our pride come between us and wisdom, and us and God. Our pride seeks to bring us down (Proverbs 16:18) and separate us from God. Some of God's smallest creatures, the ant, the rock badger, the locust and lizards can teach us wisdom. We can learn from them the importance of preparation, protection, partnership and position. Rid yourself of pride and 'Get Wisdom!' (Proverbs 4:7)
Churches Top 10 Proverbs:
- Pr 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is your power to act.
- Pr 4:6-7 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
- Pr 14:26 Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
- Pr 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
- Pr 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
- Pr 29:11 Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.
- Pr 30:5 Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
- Pr 29:23 Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.
- Pr 24:3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.
- Pr 16:32 Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
Pastor Chris' Top 10 Proverbs:
-
Pr 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Pr 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
- Pr 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only expressing his opinion.
- Pr 19:3 When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the LORD.
- Pr 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
- Pr 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
- Pr 16:7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.
- Pr 12:23 A prudent man conceals knowledge, but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.
- Pr 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.
- Pr 11:14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
Two other verses that are not to be over-looked; but are ones always to be kept close to your heart are:
- Pr 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
- Pr 4:7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost everything you have, GET UNDERSTANDING.

Launching from Proverbs 29:18, which reads 'Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keeps the law, happy is he', the churches vision is shared. A description of our five church family dynamics are reiterated:
- Family Vacation - to grow people of all ages to a mature faith in Christ.
- We Are - to know who we are, what we believe, and why we do what we do.
- Delight dynamic - to create a place you don't 'have' to go, you GET to go!
- Wave Rider - to follow where He is leading, when He is leading, and how he is leading through prayer.
- One Another - to be an Oasis of hope, love, and inspiration for one another.
To maintain these dynamics sometimes requires change. Change requires wise planning. The church is following 10 steps of wise planning:
- Ask the Lord
- Collect His wisdom
- Recruit the core
- Develop the plan
- Don't rush
- Determine the 'why'
- Share the draft
- Receive all reaction
- Resubmit the plan
- Follow through
This is WHY and HOW we do what we do!

What are the ingredients of Baptism? The story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch found in Acts 8:26-40 describes how God draws a 'seeker', one who is searching, wrestling and questioning; and brings that individual together with a 'servant', one who is ready, willing and able. This collision of the two results in a sharing of the Gospel, followed by a Baptism of a new believer. And why Baptism? For Who? For what? For Christ and for our identity! Are you ashamed of the Gospel? Or are you eager (drawn) to it or ready, willing and able to share it?
