A message from the series "Wisdom In Practice." (Matthew 5:13-16; 1 Kings 11:1-8)
As we continue to explore this series looking at Biblical Wisdom in practice, Mike takes the opportunity to consider Jesus' words from Matthew 5 challenging us to lamp on a table instead of under a bowl. Here is a reminder that while knowledge is important intellectually, unless we actually put it into practice we miss the point of what it is for. The wisdom God gives us and invites us to ask for is to guide our lives.
Join us as we consider what it looks like to live our lives with living wisdom.

Proverbs 3:5-6 | Matthew 26:36-46
What does it really mean to trust God?
It’s easy to say we trust Him when life is going well. But what about when the future is uncertain, suffering is real, or God’s path seems difficult?
In this message from our Wisdom in Practice series, we explore one of the Bible’s most well-known passages - Proverbs 3:5-6 - and see it lived out perfectly in Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Together we’ll discover that:
* Everyone puts their trust in something.
* We submit to the God whom we know.
* The straight path isn’t always the easy path.
Ultimately, God doesn’t call us to have all the answers - He calls us to trust a trustworthy God.
Run in sets of pairs throughout the year, this series draws deeply from wisdom literature and explores how timeless principles play out in everyday discipleship. Each message pairs a Proverb with a Biblical story that shows what that wisdom looks like lived out. The aim is really simple: to help us see how God’s wisdom speaks into everyday life and decisions.
