We live in a world that is drowning in information while starving for wisdom. Think about it. We have access to limitless information at our fingertips, but has all of this information made us wise? Knowledge does not equal wisdom.

Welcome to Proverbs: The Wise, The Fool, The Wicked—a seven-week study through the book of Proverbs. As we look to this ancient text of wisdom literature, may we come to discover the true source of wisdom: God’s Word. We’re not looking for more information. We are pursuing transformation.

Without God’s wisdom, we will not be able to navigate this world well. So, let’s learn to treasure the wisdom of God. Let’s learn how to walk in wisdom in a world of folly. May God’s voice be the loudest voice in our lives, leading, instructing, and informing us of truth.

Join us on Thursday nights, January 23–March 13, from 5:30–7:00 pm for this 7-week journey. The cost is $18 to cover the book and simple snacks. In a world overflowing with information, come discover how God’s wisdom can truly transform our hearts and guide our steps every day.

Want to know more about the scope and sequence of this study? The attached "Screenshot" is a note from the author with some details. 

Join Pastor Kris and renowned teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan as they guide you through the land of the Bible. In each lesson, Vander Laan illuminates the historical, geographical, and cultural context of the sacred Scriptures.

Filmed on location in the Middle East and elsewhere, the That the World May Know film series will transform your understanding of God and challenge you to be a true follower of Jesus.

This is a great opportunity for couples to grow in their faith (Women@CLP meet at the same time for the Proverbs study).
