Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus proverbs

Every Day with Jesus - Proverbs 1.20-23 Jobey McGinty We live in an incredibly noisy world. Noisier than any other time in human history, and that is by design...some of our Enemy's greatest weapons are distraction and busyness. As Corrrie ten Boom put it, "If the devil can't make you sin, he'll make you busy." So how do we counter these weapons? The answer is to start simple and small...to just start building with the tools given to us by our Father: prayer, the Word, and Gospel Community. Around these things we build a trellis designed not to look impressive but simply to support the growth of a living, vibrant vine of relationship with Jesus. This won't happen by accident, though. It takes hard work and training, and a commitment to loving and following He who first loved us!

Songs of Yesteryear: Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus Proverbs 4:6 by Beersheba Church

In this series we're looking at the lives of the disciples Jesus called into his team of 12. Andrew became the first known disciple of Jesus and his story begins in John 1:35-42.   In many ways Andrew is a great example of what it means to be a disciple and a leader. Although he was one of the first to be chosen by Jesus, very little is said about what he did. But what we do know is that he had a profound effect on a lot of people. He was an unschooled, ordinary Jewish man, a fisherman by trade like his brother Simon. He lived under Roman occupation and will have experienced all the pressures that brought on the nation of Israel.  Like many in his generation, Andrew looked forward to a time spoken of by Old Testament prophets (Isaiah 9, Micah 5:2, Daniel 9 and Zecheriah 9:12) when a saviour king would rescue the nation of Israel from oppression and bring in an everlasting Kingdom. So when John the Baptist appeared in the desert calling people to repentance in preparation for the Messiah who was soon to come, Andrew became one of his disciples. He understood that John the Baptist wasn't the one he would ultimately be following, but he knew that John could point him in the right direction.  Andrew knew his life had a greater purpose than catching fish to provide for his family. So in spite of all the inconveniences being a disciple of John would bring, he was willing to pay the price because John would help him to find that purpose.  1. Andrew became a convinced follower of Jesus (Proverbs 13:20; John 1:37-39; John 14:6; Matthew 7:7) 2. Andrew introduced people to Jesus (John 1:41-42, John 12:20-22) 3. Andrew saw a great miracle through his testimony (John 6:5-11)  Apply 1. Andrew became a convinced follower of Jesus. We are encouraged to ‘Walk with the wise and become wise…' (Proverbs 13:20). Andrew understood and applied this principle and so should we. Andrew had learned a lot from John the Baptist and had been faithfully following and serving John, but then he realised John was pointing to One greater than himself. Andrew came to see that Jesus was the Messiah, the one he had been looking for. When John said ‘look, the lamb of God!', Andrew knew the next stage of his journey to find the Messiah had begun. He and his fellow disciple started following Jesus (John 1:37). They weren't being rude or dismissive of John; following Jesus was the logical next step. They had heard much about the Messiah from John but wanted to check Him out for themselves (John 1:38-39). To become a convinced follower of Jesus, you need to know Jesus is real: that He really lived, He really died, and really rose again from the dead. The more you find out about Jesus, the more you will see He really is who he said He is (John 14:6). That very afternoon in the home of Jesus, Andrew became convinced this is the one they were looking for, this is the Messiah! Just like Andrew, you too have the potential to be convinced about Christ (see CS Lewis, JR Tolkien, Lee Strobel). Strobel, an atheist journalist, came to his own conclusion based on the evidence he found that Jesus is in fact real. So many people have gone on a journey, and as you go and find out more about Jesus, you will not be disappointed (Matthew 7:7). At Andrew's first encounter with Jesus, Jesus lit a fire in his heart that was contagious. You and I can have as much of Jesus as we want! We decide if we will just do a tick box devotional time squeezed in around other priorities, or if we will leave that well-worn path of ‘business as usual' and pursue a daily encounter with Jesus that will bless His heart and enlarge ours. You can make that choice from today and every day. The great revival preacher John Wesley was asked, “What is your secret? Why do so many people come to hear you preach?” Wesley answered “I get alone with God in prayer. He sets me on fire. The people come out to watch me burn.” As a result of this meeting with Jesus, Andrew went on to become a pioneer in personal evangelism by following the example that had been set by John the Baptist, and by Jesus, who had invited Him to His home to see how He lived.   2. Andrew introduced people to Jesus. Andrew's meeting with Jesus that day changed him forever. He had great news to tell. And that is the responsibility of every Christian, not to just keep what we have, but to share the good news, to impart, introduce others. And who do we introduce? Well the first person Andrew introduced was one of his closest family members, his brother Simon (John 1:41-42). As Andrew spoke of his life changing encounter with Jesus the Messiah, his testimony motivated Simon to go with him to meet Jesus. Simon Peter would later become a hugely influential leader in the church after Jesus had ascended back to heaven. But it doesn't stop there; we share the good news around with all our family; with brothers, with sisters, with fathers and mothers, this is where a whole family can be transformed when you share your story with them.  Also you can share the gospel with your closest friends, that is always how Christianity spreads. We must all learn how to be like Andrew, introducing people to Jesus in person. Leading them to repentance, helping them to join the family of God. If you are thinking of opening up your home to lead or host a Life Group, just think about the chain of events that took place beginning with Andrew's decision to be a disciple:  - Andrew was introduced to Jesus by John the Baptist - Andrew introduced his brother Simon to Jesus - Jesus gave Simon a new life, a new name (Peter) and a new purpose - Peter became the dominant leader in Jesus' team of 12 - 3000 men responded to the preaching of Peter by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost!  And Andrew didn't stop there! He became recognised as one who could bring people to Jesus from other cultures (John 12:20-22). Philip knew Andrew was the best person to introduce people to Jesus, so he brought them to him. As a Christian, are you trustworthy with new people who are looking for Jesus? Are you committed to bring them to Him, and not just to events? Will you help to bring them into the family of God by bringing them to an open Life Group or start one yourself? Andrew was really good at this. He would minister to the few. He saw how small things can have a huge impact.  3. Andrew saw a great miracle through his testimony. Andrew learned how to depend on God, to use every available resource to the glory of God. When Jesus gave His disciples an opportunity to solve a big problem, it was Andrew who responded with faith (John 6:5-11). Andrew learned that normal rules of logic do not apply when you have Jesus on your side. He had his doubts, but Andrew recognised the potential in the small boy and his lunch to be the seed for a great miracle, so Andrew spoke up in faith and brought them to Jesus. That day over 5000 people were fed from the 5 loaves and 2 fish Andrew had placed at the disposal of Jesus in expectation of a miracle. When we do what we can to share, and when we see the potential in people and situations, God can work miracles. When we bring what we have to Jesus, however little it may be, miracles can happen. Today miracles can happen in your life. What do you have? Do you say ‘I don't have much in the way of money or education'? When you give you what you have fully to Jesus, He can work miracles. And so it goes on and on just like Andrew influenced this situation so the multitudes had their fill. Because of this Andrew was a key figure. We often think of Peter, his more famous brother but he was absolutely pivotal. The formation of the 12 starts with Andrew, his influence had great effect. What started in Andrew can start in your life today, what can be done through you if you just have faith and say I need to know Jesus, I need an encounter with him, God help me to share my faith in a convincing way in a real in a genuine way with my friends and family and then I can look at every opportunity. There may be hunger, there may be problems, there may be needs bigger than we can handle, but if we can just bring people to Jesus, and put them in his hands, he can work miracles. ‘I am Andrew', ‘You are Andrew', that is what Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham used for many years as their motto ‘be an Andrew, be an Andrew' and bring people to Jesus. Let's make that decision today.

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The cry of Proverbs is a cry for redemption.The Gospel: One Proverb At A Time continues as Paul Tripp shows us that every Proverb leads to Jesus.

Dr. McIntyre was speaking for the week at the Glorieta Baptist Conference Center. He spoke of how there are millions of people lonesome and without friendship. He just finished serving with the Baptist World Alliance where he traveled all over the world and made so many new friends. He stated that there are seven distinctive marks of Christian friendships. 1. Mutual love for God and each other 2. Patience 3. Unselfishness 4. Never stops being a friend when discovering faults 5. Seeks the highest good for his friend 6. Sympathetic 7. Caring Friendships with Jesus, in Jesus and with each other is a rare treasure to hold in our hands and live out in our lives.

Musical Advent Calendar With Rick Lee JamesDay 6 - The Rebel Jesus (written by Jackson Browne)Sometimes people on the outside of Christianity are the best ones to give an accurate critique of it. Jackson Browne makes no claim of being a Christian. In fact, in the lyrics of this song he states that he is a heathen and a pagan, but one who is on the side of the rebel Jesus.            Critics of Christianity can often be mean-spirited and biting with their criticism, and while Browne is not easy on the church, he seems to have the heart of a loving neighbor who wants to offer the most generous and loving critique possible, for its own good. You can hear how Browne's heart for the poor resonates with the heart of Christ, and also Browne's frustration with the way that the Church has too often aligned itself with Christ's enemies, guarding its gold with locks and guns, rather than laying down its life for those in need.We guard our world with locks and gunsAnd we guard our fine possessionsAnd once a year when Christmas comesWe give to our relationsAnd perhaps we give a little to the poorIf the generosity should seize usBut if any one of us should interfereIn the business of why there are poorThey get the same as the rebel Jesus            Proverbs 27:6 tells us that the wounds of a friend are trustworthy and in these lyrics from Jackson Browne, I believe the church has a trustworthy friend, on the side of the rebel Jesus.-RLJMore from Rick Lee JamesSupport Rick Lee James on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rickleejames This is a public episode.

S Sandwich work prayer Before work begins, at the moment of a need, after work is done  What to pray: Pray things go well, no matter what happens that you would be glorified both by how things go and how I respond (what and how like with performance evaluation) This past week-project-when problems occur: stay positive, take responsibility   E   Our work is generally a performance based culture, and everyone knows that at some level they are being evaluated for their performance.  one way we can live out our faith through our work is with encouraging words to others regarding them doing well or when something has not gone well that the person is probably feeling bad about.  , everyone knows when they mess up you don't need to add to it or let them soak in it My co-worker Steve this past week said with a smile that "things don't always go as planned, I know you beat yourself up, nobody's perfect except Jesus" Proverbs talks often about value of an encouraging word John 7:1 jesus said "“Judge not, that you be not judged."  Eph 4:32 "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."   #2-Hell exists Quote from Atheist Penn from magician duo Penn and Teller " “I've always said that I don't respect people who don't proselytize. I don't respect that at all. If you believe that there's a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward—and atheists who think people shouldn't proselytize and who say just leave me along and keep your religion to yourself—how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? “I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was coming at you, and you didn't believe that truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.”" Many verses about Hell, but I'll leave with this one:   Matthew 10:28, Jesus says "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.   L   Gen 28:16 ESV -"Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”"-we need to find Him in the middle Of our own reality (work), He's everywhere, so we know He's there at our work, we just have to have eyes to see Hebrew shows it says I, I did not know it- not a mistake, one Rabbi indicates that when we don't see God it's because we are too focused on ourselves    A   H     Kiss the Toad is about doing something you don't want to do but needs to be done, just do it first thing and the rest of your day will be great.

What difference does belief make? There are a few references to this passage in the Bible. What does it mean to trust in the Lord with all of your heart? We acknowledge him in all of our ways. We do not lean on our own ideas and thoughts.    Today, Mike talked about a few ideas he believed were given to him by God, but he leaned on his own understanding and gave himself a pass. When we do that, we fail to follow Jesus. We stop listening to God. When we acknowledge him in all of our ways, he directs our paths. He lets us experience his joy and we get to see him work.   Join Mike today. Do what God prompts you to do, even if it seems difficult, expensive or inconvenient. Trust the Lord with all of your heart and watch him work.   And maybe, one thing you can do is sign up for the next Marketplace Mission Trip. Maybe you think, "Well, I did that already." But what is God telling you? When we trust him with our whole heart and follow him, he directs our path and we experience his joy. Sign up for the next mission trip at MarketplaceMissionTrip.com.

This is a devotion about Jesus in the Old Testament and specifically Proverbs chapter 8. Also a poem about Proverbs chapter 8 by robin aylor. Proverbs 8:25 Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, 31 rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. 32 “And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. 34 Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. 35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, 36 but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”

What difference does belief make? There are a few references to this passage in the Bible. What does it mean to trust in the Lord with all of your heart? We acknowledge him in all of our ways. We do not lean on our own ideas and thoughts.    Today, Mike talked about a few ideas he believed were given to him by God, but he leaned on his own understanding and gave himself a pass. When we do that, we fail to follow Jesus. We stop listening to God. When we acknowledge him in all of our ways, he directs our paths. He lets us experience his joy and we get to see him work.   Join Mike today. Do what God prompts you to do, even if it seems difficult, expensive or inconvenient. Trust the Lord with all of your heart and watch him work.   And maybe, one thing you can do is sign up for the next Marketplace Mission Trip. Maybe you think, "Well, I did that already." But what is God telling you? When we trust him with our whole heart and follow him, he directs our path and we experience his joy. Sign up for the next mission trip at MarketplaceMissionTrip.com.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it!

Jesus is the deepest friend we could know.   Check out our You Version live event to follow along with today's sermon! http://bible.com/events/35910917   Recorded on August 25, 2020.

For the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared!

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off!

Do not withhold good!

The prayer of the upright is His delight !

The fear of the LORD leads to life !

Blessed is the one who always trembles before God !

Righteous are rewarded with good things!

In last Sunday's sermon we reached Luke 11:31, which says, “The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.” There are many ways Jesus is greater than Solomon, but the focus in this verse is wisdom. During the sermon I’ll talk about Jesus being wisdom Incarnate, or the embodiment of wisdom, and this is most clearly seen in the Book of Proverbs. There are two locations that clearly reveal Jesus: Proverbs 8:22-31 Proverbs 30:4
