Questions are answered and follies revealed as Jack and Geoff conclude their discussion of Malibu Graphics' miniseries Urchak's Folly! As the title character descends further into neck-snapping madness, all-out war erupts between his gorilla army and the unfortunately-named Mud People, and the surprising movie-related secret origin of the Taylorites is revealed! All this, plus the two human characters get names!

Have you ever wondered if you belonged somewhere? Or have you ever quietly decided that someone else didn't?In this Bible study and reflection, we explore a remarkable story from Eugene Peterson's The Pastor about Truck Carson, a truck driver whose life was transformed after reading a Gideon Bible he found in a motel room. As Truck shared his testimony, an entire congregation learned an important lesson about grace, belonging, and the power of God's Word.Using Proverbs, Isaiah 55:11, Galatians 3:28, James 2:1-9, and John 10:27, we examine the contrast between the voice of Wisdom and the voice of Folly. One voice judges by appearances; the other sees people through the eyes of God. Ultimately, this episode points us to the voice of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who calls His sheep by name and welcomes them into His family.Join us as we discover why Christian community is not built on social status, education, wealth, or background—but on the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Tuesday June 9, 2026II Week After PentecostIn today's episode, Proverbs 9 brings the opening section of Proverbs to a powerful conclusion by presenting two competing invitations: the call of Wisdom and the call of Folly.Lady Wisdom calls out with truth, offering understanding, maturity, and life.In contrast, Lady Folly is loud, seductive, and deceptive. She promises excitement and secret pleasures, but she hides the fact that her path leads to destruction.The chapter reminds us that life is shaped by the invitations we accept. Every day we are presented with choices that either draw us closer to God's wisdom or lure us toward foolishness. The difference often comes down to humility—the willingness to receive correction, seek understanding, and submit our lives to God's truth.

What does it actually mean to fear the Lord?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series as we move from Ecclesiastes into the book of Proverbs. Solomon begins Proverbs by teaching that wisdom starts with one foundational truth: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”But fear of the Lord does not mean being scared of God. For followers of Jesus, it means living with reverence, awe, humility, and deep respect for who God is. It means choosing God's wisdom over our own understanding, listening to His voice above the opinions of the world, and allowing His Word to shape the way we live.Pastor Brandon reminds us that there are always two voices competing for our attention: wisdom and foolishness, God's way and our own way. True wisdom begins when we surrender our plans, trust God's direction, and live with reverence for the One who created us, loves us, and will never leave us.This message also includes a powerful time of communion and a Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project update.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs wisdom and direction this week.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – YouTube Welcome from Pastor Brandon0:18 – Welcome to Venture Church1:25 – Introducing Proverbs1:52 – Proverbs of Solomon3:03 – The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge3:35 – How to Read the Bible5:02 – Reading a Proverb a Day5:27 – The Main Theme of Proverbs6:00 – Proverbs as Wisdom Literature7:27 – What Wisdom Means8:01 – Wisdom and Folly8:55 – Two Voices Competing for Your Attention9:28 – God's Plan vs. Our Plan10:15 – Everyone Has an Opinion11:44 – Wisdom and Folly in Everyday Life12:17 – Real Questions People Are Asking Right Now13:49 – Unlocking Wisdom in Proverbs14:26 – God's Plan vs. My Plan15:23 – The Way of a Fool Seems Right16:32 – When Feelings Lead Us the Wrong Way17:54 – What Does “Fear of the Lord” Mean?19:25 – Fear of God Without Jesus20:10 – The Journey of Following Jesus20:35 – Fear of God as Reverence21:05 – Worshiping God with Reverence and Awe21:44 – Respectful Fear of God22:48 – A Child's Reverence for Their Parents24:15 – Reverential Respect25:03 – God Is the Creator, We Are His Creation25:56 – Reverence, Obedience, and Fellowship with God26:09 – True Wisdom Comes from Knowing Who God Is27:09 – Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love28:44 – God Will Never Leave or Forsake Us29:12 – Fear of the Lord Shapes How We Live30:25 – Fear of God Drives Out Fear of Man30:58 – Obedience Leads to Deeper Relationship31:06 – Communion Moment32:27 – Reflecting and Remembering33:52 – Making Things Right with Jesus35:22 – Remembering What Jesus Has Done36:01 – Receiving the Bread36:42 – The Cup and the Blood of Jesus37:52 – Invitation to Begin a Relationship with Jesus39:17 – Salvation Prayer40:10 – Receiving the Cup40:13 – Worship Response45:15 – Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project Update45:36 – Mike and Kayla Anderson Share46:18 – Why Kids Ministry Matters47:17 – Ways to Participate in Light Bearers48:24 – Invitation to Give48:43 – What's Next Resource49:03 – YouTube Outro

Pastor Eric walks through Elisha's final moments and how we might have strength in weakness. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

Ecclesiastes 9:1–17 frames life “under the sun” as a repeated meditation on meaning, mortality, and posture toward the ordinary. Ecclesiastes uses steady iterations—like a song reworked over time—to press a dark but honest diagnosis: life without appeal beyond the present age looks empty, arbitrary, and often cruel. Nihilism shows up in several forms—existential loneliness, moral relativism, epistemic skepticism, and cultural breakdown—and the text treats each as a current that shapes modern thought and practice. Solomon observes that death levels distinctions: the righteous and wicked share the same end, and social honors mean nothing at the grave. Solomon pushes the logic of meaninglessness to a blunt conclusion and then counsels a counterintuitive response. The text counsels feasting, enjoyment of one's spouse, diligent work, and celebration—not as naïve hedonism but as prudent embrace of the gifts available in a limited life. Solomon argues for taking pleasure in ordinary provisions and relationships because time and chance make outcomes unpredictable; fortunes turn by luck as often as by wisdom. The narrative's brief portrait of a wise man who risks and gives himself to save a small city—and is forgotten and despised afterward—becomes the book's single declaration of greatness. Solomon elevates self‑giving wisdom over reputation, wealth, and achievement. The story of a nameless rescuer reframes true greatness as sacrificial service for the insignificant rather than accumulation of prestige. The Old Testament portrait points forward to the supreme example of kenotic wisdom: the incarnate King who humbled himself for the salvation of those who could not save themselves. For those anchored in that redemption, meaning and hope outrun luck and the leveling power of death, and present joys become signs of a fuller promise to come.

It is by no means deliberate that the last few sermons have not had the ‘classic' Spurgeon three point structure, but I hope that it at least undermines the weary assertion that this preacher ‘invariably' has three points. This sermon has an interesting balance, because it has two main divisions but is still divided into thirds. The sermon finds us on the Emmaus road, with two disciples who are thinking foolishly, “slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.” Spurgeon is blunt and forceful in dealing with this matter. Speaking first to the true believer, he asserts, first, that unbelief is folly, and, second, that unbelief arises from slowness of heart. The preacher simply explores those two assertions arising from the text, analysing and anatomising our dull hearts. He closes that portion of the sermon with an encouragement—that slowness of heart is not the same as hardness of heart, and that those who weary of their doubts should abandon them for the faith that not only saves but also secures. Then, with that element of the sermon concluded, Spurgeon asks his believing congregation to pray as he speaks directly to the unconverted. The last third of the sermon is a sustained plea to those who do not yet believe, seeking to expose and to correct the folly and dullness that grips such hearts, concluding with warnings and pleadings. The sermon is striking in its directness and in the arrangement which serves as a vehicle for that direct address, looking first the doubting believer and then the unbeliever in the eye with affection and concern, and speaking to the soul.

Join Kate Stanton Melendez for an interview with local artist Isak Dove.    Isak Dove is a self-taught artist b. 1983 Saline, MI, currently based out of Savannah, GA. Most recently her work has been exhibited locally at Gallery 2424 and ARTS Southeast, and internationally at the Zurich Hochshule der Kunst (2025) and Material Gallery (2024) in Zurich, Switzerland.    An avid traveler, Dove often combines her love of journeying the world and her passion for making art, bringing her paints and brushes with her as she travels the globe. In 2024 she spent six weeks alone in the Peruvian countryside, painting fruits and the mountains. In 2018 she was a resident artist at the fantastical Helga's Folly in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and painted in the jungle alongside mischievous monkeys for a month. In 2012 she converted an old broken-down milk truck into a little studio - in an olive grove where the goats roamed, in a desert in the Middle East. That's where she alchemized the first "Goat Girl" into being (a character that appears in many of Dove's paintings).    These days Dove can most often be found locally, live painting in the beautiful Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah. She also dabbles in curating group shows, such as "The Surreal Soiree: A Group Show of Fantastical, Strange, and Uncanny Artworks", opening this week in the Cobra Room of Lone Wolf Lounge. The show features 25 local artists, & opens this Friday, June 5th from 5PM-10PM, as part of First Fridays in Starland.      See more of Isak Dove's work here:  https://www.instagram.com/isak_dove http://www.isakdove.com/paintings.html

Fr. Mike delves deeper into the lessons Ecclesiastes teaches us today about living wisely by keeping the end in mind, enjoying the present moment, and not worrying too much about other people's opinions of us. Today's readings are 1 Kings 9, Ecclesiastes 6-7, and Psalm 7. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Psalm 49. Despite recent economic hardships for some, our country continues to be an affluent one. While the wealth we enjoy is a gift from God, can we trust in it rather than in God? In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines Psalm 49 to learn what it says about the folly of trusting wealth.

Dr. Oheneba Boadum explores the spiritual concept of visitations and the inherent vulnerability of the human soul. He contrasts the competing voices of Wisdom and Folly, personifying them as two different women who seek intimacy and union with the human spirit. Through a detailed analysis of Proverbs, he warns believers against the seductive "loose woman" who leads to destruction, urging them instead toward the divine wisdom that was present at creation. The teaching emphasizes that humans were designed for worship and communion, making it essential to distinguish between the life-giving presence of God and the deceptive traps of the enemy. Ultimately, the source serves as a call to spiritual consecration, encouraging listeners to seek sound biblical knowledge and the restorative, abundant life promised in the Gospel.

Elizabeth Warren's recent tirade against private equity is a libelous set of dishonest manure that should be treated as seriously as any attempt to broadly demonize private equity these days, which is not at all.  Whether the Senator's problem is intellectual or just in telling the truth, she is wrong in so many ways that today's Capital Record gives us a chance to set the record straight.  You will be better off for hearing it, which is never true when one listens to today's private equity critics.

It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

Ecclesiastes 7:14–29 confronts the strange unpredictability of life and calls believers to reject simplistic thinking. Solomon urges people to embrace both prosperity and adversity because God uses each in ways we often cannot see. Good days are gifts to enjoy, while difficult seasons develop grit, wisdom, and dependence on God. The chapter dismantles the false idea of “karma” or earned righteousness, reminding us that life does not always reward the righteous or punish the wicked in predictable ways. Instead of exhausting ourselves trying to earn favor with God through performance or nitpicking religion, the Gospel points us to the righteousness of Jesus Christ freely given by grace. True wisdom learns to trust God through both blessing and hardship. Solomon also turns the mirror toward the human heart. Rather than constantly judging others, wisdom begins with humility: “Is it I?” People are messy, sinful, and capable of scheming, including ourselves. Relationships, marriage, success, pleasure, and even God's good gifts can become traps when distorted by selfish desire. Solomon's own life became a warning of what happens when good gifts are twisted into idols. Yet the answer is not despair but surrender. Through the mirror of Scripture, God exposes our crookedness and begins making us upright again. The call of Ecclesiastes is to stop trying to control life, trust God in its mystery, pursue holiness over shallow happiness, and allow Christ to transform us “from one degree of glory to another.”

Ecclesiastes 7 shifts Solomon's focus from chasing pleasure and success to pursuing wisdom and character under God. A good name is shown to be more valuable than wealth because reputation outlives achievement when life ends. Remembering death cuts through the world's obsession with image and temporary success, redirecting attention toward what truly lasts. Solomon also presents sorrow and mourning not as enemies, but as tools God often uses to refine people, expose sin, and produce lasting change, while laughter remains a gift that cannot accomplish the same deep work. The chapter also highlights the value of honest rebuke, faithfulness, and perseverance. True community requires loving correction that heals rather than flatters, and integrity is measured more by consistency than charisma. Solomon describes humanity as both dignified image-bearers and deeply crooked through sin, unable to fully straighten themselves apart from God. The answer is not pretending to be perfect, but desiring transformation and depending on God's renewing work so that authenticity and holiness grow together.

This summer marks the 250th anniversary of America's founding as nation, born in a successful rebellion from the British crown. Events and politics tell us one tale, but textiles always give us another view. Much of the textile history of America is deeply painful – a story of enslavement and hardship in Victorian mills and garment sweatshops. But there is another side to this, because creating textiles for the home has always involved community, and throughout the two and half centuries America has been in existence, quilting, knitting, sewing and mending have been deeply social activities.   This episode of Haptic & Hue is about one group of people who designed and made craft textiles at a particular moment in America's history. The Folly Cove Designers came from a little-known area of Massachusetts. They had no professional qualifications and they were taught around a kitchen table by one woman. For nearly thirty years in the mid-twentieth century they formed a close creative and supportive network making work of the highest quality. Even today, over seventy years later their story has a lot to tell us about how communities help individuals shine.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-8/   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/
