Mr. Webster defines a proverb as “a short well-known saying containing a wise thought.” The book of Proverbs in the Old Testament is filled with such sayings — but unlike some advice the world offers, these are backed by God’s power and eternal truth. In this message series, Pastor Gregg Matte looks at what Proverbs says about topics relevant to us today and how God’s wisdom provides answers we often seek.
