Faith: Solomon's Famous Words
What does it mean to live a life of faith? How does faith affect the way we respond to challenges and difficult situations? The fourth of a six-part series on the Essence of Faith, this message looks at Solomon's famous words from Proverbs 3:5-6. Pastor Dave Robinson urges us to consider how Solomon defined faith: to put God in the spotlight, refuse to rely on our own perception, and to have hope for the future.

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Guidance
We need guidance as we walk through life and as we face decisions because we are sinners -- we are prone to self-deception and to walking in unbelief and disobedience -- and because we are creatures -- we are limited in our understanding, wisdom, and foresight, being dependent on God. There are three ways that God has provided to us to understand his will and obtain guidance from him. First, we obtain guidance from his word, which provides us with commands that direct and limit what we do, and which also provides us with clear principles that we must follow as we live. Second, we obtain guidance by discerning God's will, by learning and cultivating wisdom from his word, and by seeking out counsel as we seek to make wise and informed decisions. Finally, we obtain guidance by waiting on the Lord, by seeking him in prayer and asking for direct and specific guidance.

Rather, the two stopped turning towards each other and began turning away from each other. God has a different plan! His blueprint is for relationships to grow and deepen. God created marriages to be more loving and passionate than they were in the beginning.

Extreme Righteousness
In instructing his readers not to be "overly righteous", the Teacher is calling all of us to steer clear of "extreme righteousness", that attitude in which we ultimately trust that our own goodness will make us worthy before God.

Sober Up!
When the Teacher tells his listeners that a funeral is better than a party, he is calling them to be 'sobered up' by the reality of death and suffering, from a drunkeness fueled by distraction and diversion.
