Liturgy & Sermon

Call to Worship

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God,

the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love

with those who love him and keep his commandments,

to a thousand generations.

- Deuteronomy 7:9

Confession

Hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,

for He who promised is faithful.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

For if we go on sinning deliberately

after receiving the knowledge of the truth,

there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

but a fearful expectation of judgment,

and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

—Hebrews 10:23-27

Assurance

Church, as we prepare our hearts for the preaching of God’s Word,

let us remember this singular shining truth:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practice it have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever!

- Psalm 111:10

The Wise Life: Know Your Limits

Drew Morgan

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways know him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

Proverbs 3:5-7

1. The Prohibition: Are We Being God-like or Godly?

Lean not on your own understanding
More wisdom is tempting because it gives us the ability to control things we want
More wisdom is tempting because it gives us the ability to avoid things we fear

2. The Posture: The God-lean
