The book of Proverbs exemplifies how to live life on this earth in the best way possible. However, rather than giving us step–by–step instructions on how to live a more efficient, productive, and successful life, the ancient book of Proverbs encourages us to meditate on the person, posture and pace of wisdom. Pastor Zack Eswine joined the conversation to show us how these things play out in our everyday lives! https://www.amazon.com/Wiser-Jesus-Temptations-Relationships-Decision-Making/dp/1527112233 Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You might be tempted to think from my sermon that Jesus lived a worry-free life (and expects us to as well). It is clear from Gethsemane that his life was far from worry free, but he knew how to face even extreme anxiety with the spiritual resources his Father provided. This is foundational for us too. But what about those whose "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7) is anxiety and depression? I did not have time in this sermon to address this very important question, but there are some excellent resources that I recommend. One is a recent additional to our church library by Zack Eswine entitled:Spurgeon's Sorrows: realistic hope for those who suffer from depression. Another is a book recommended by Sanctuary Mental Health entitled I'm Not Supposed to Feel Like This: a Christian approach to coping with anxiety and depression.

This Sunday we'll be looking at the subject of suffering and how to deal wisely with our seasons of pain. As we process the atrocities of the terrorist attacks in Israel, and the many innocent children, women and men who have been killed in Israel and Gaza, it is overwhelming to know what to do, what to think, or how to pray. Qohelet offers us wisdom to think about not just our own suffering, but also the suffering we witness in the world. ** This sermon was co-written by Corey Widmer and Kevin Germer of Christ Presbyterian Church, Richmond Sermon sources: - Philip Ryken, “Why Everything Matters”.
