Proverbs Postures: SIMPLICITY

In this penultimate episode, following on from the last posture of SIMPLICITY, we simply listen to Proverbs doing its wisdom work for us. (Sections of Proverbs read from the Message Bible).

In this episode we look at what simplicity isn’t (as well as what it is). Simplicity is about the heart. It’s about worship. Asking what did it mean for the original audience? How did Jesus embody this posture? What are the invitations and challenges that this posture presents to us and our world?

In this episode we explore the posture of discipline. Unpacking any misconceptions or baggage attached to it. What actually IS discipline? How does Jesus embody discipline? What does this mean for us today?

In this episode we look at the posture that Proverbs recognises as the beginning of wisdom. What is fear of the Lord? How is it different to regular fear? What does Jesus teach us about fear of the Lord? How can we apply this posture to our lives today?

In this bonus episode we look at an overview of Proverbs as a whole. Exploring some of the postures that didn’t make it to our six in the series.

In this episode, we explore what it means for Lady Wisdom to “call out”. Asking how is listening a posture of wisdom in Proverbs? And what can the life, example & teachings of Jesus show us about the importance of listening? What does all of this mean for us today?

In this introductory episode of the Autumn series, we explore the reasons behind this ancient wisdom literature. What/Who is wisdom? How is it different from knowledge? Why does it matter?Our first posture is WISDOM itself.

In this final episode we look at Paul’s closing words to Timothy. Recapping the letter and looking at what is important to Paul, Timothy, Ephesus and us today!

In this bonus episode, and the penultimate in the series, we simply re-read the entire letter of 1 Timothy in another translation.

In this episode we explore the theme of our attitudes and the power of attitude. Attitude shapes our behaviours (not the other way around!). What does the life of Jesus teach us about our attitude?What is Paul saying to them and us?
