Proverbs 1:1
Intro.
I can think of nothing more needful in 2018 than learning wisdom. Lord willing I would like to be able to go through the book or proverbs, and glean the wisdom that God has given us from the wisest man on earth.
A short sentence often repeated, expressing a well known truth or common fact, ascertained by experience or observation; a maxim of wisdom. Websters 1828

Proverbs 1:7-9
Intro.
This probably should have been tagged on the last passage that we studied, and included with that section.
Eph. 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

Pro 1:10-19
Intro.
We can see the advice coming from a fatherly figure, trying to counsel his son, and help him as he goes through life. As we read this, it is often applied to young people, but it is certainly not exclusively for young people. As we march through different stages in our life, there are certainly times when we will face temptation such as is described here. It would do us all well to pay attention to what is written, and keep it in our heart to protect our way.

Pro 3:11-12 - My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Intro.
There is a whole passage in Hebrews 12 that talks about the discipline of the Lord! It is very helpful. Hear, we have Solomons wise words on the matter. These verses are a little different in the previous sets, because, before, we have a reward, here, we just have reason. There is reward, and it is great… it is just not mentioned clearly here.

Pro 6:20-35
Parents
It takes a Father and Mother to make a home!
Break down in society, breakdown of the home.
The ugly truth about divorce, it breaks a home!
I know we have divorced people in here. Let me try to help those who don’t bare those scars for a moment.
These are to be bound in our heart!

Mark 10:1-16
Introduction
I have titled the message God’s Family Plan, not because God is specifically outlining the idea for a family, but the entirety of this passage, is so necessary for Family matters, that I have dubbed it, God’s Family Plan. We literally have three separate instances that are back to back that I have stitched together for one message to help families.

Psalm 112
Introduction
We have a great Psalm before us. It is easy reading, easily understood, and a great encouragement to the born again believers that walk with the Lord. It should be a blessing to every single person tonight.
A lot of people have anxiety, insecurities, fears, dismay, dread or great concerns about the future. However, as a Christian, we should be anchored in the Rock. This Psalm calms our fears, insecurities, dismay, or anxiety. Verses 7 & 8 give us the key to calm our fears:

Proverbs 18:20-24
Introduction
Lord willing I would like to finish this chapter up. Again, these thoughts are not always tied together, so we will simply take each verse as it stands. The first two verses deal with the same subject matter, so we are able to put those under the same point.
James 3:10-12 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Proverbs 19:13, 14, 18, 26
Introduction
There are three institutions that God created here on the earth, the Home, the church, and the government. None of these is as important as the home! It was the first one instituted. While church is certainly essential, a church can only be as strong as the families that make it up. We live in a day, where a family that was setup God’s way is rare to find. By the way, this is not new, if you read the OT, you will find that families were quite a mess many times in the OT as well.

Proverbs 21
Introduction
We have the six miscellaneous verses left in Proverbs 21 that I couldn’t put into a category. So we will cover several things and try to get through all of them this evening. These could all be thrown into a very general category of Life. How to live life.
NOTE:
