- Mar 31, 2021Proverbs Part 8
Proverbs Part 8In the 8th part of our Proverbs study, Chatman focuses on the importance of our spiritual maturity as we continue down the path that wisdom has for us. Maturity in Spirit, is essential if we are to ever grow in the Lord. Without being spiritually mature, we will never be able to fully grasp ahold of the truths that God has for us, instead we will always stay locked in an undeveloped state. Which limits our ability to do what God would have us to do.
- Mar 10, 2021Proverbs Part 7

In his message Chatman shows us how wisdom is really easy to understand, yet its much harder to follow when it calls us to fix things in our life that keep us from struggling. However, if we can submit to the change that God wants to do in our life through the direction he gives through his commands and his insight, we will go much deeper in our relationship.
- Mar 3, 2021Proverbs Part 6
Proverbs Part 6In the 6th Part of our study of Proverbs, Chatman sheds to light the idea that we were created for the path that wisdom calls us to. In fact its the path of wisdom that was the first meeting place where God and Adam would convene on in the garden, building there relationship up. And since the fall, God has been calling us back, out of the bushes and back onto the path with Him. Starting in Proverbs 2, Chatman begins to show us that the path of wisdom holds in store for us protection and provision, which allows us to continue down the path into deeper things.

- Jan 27, 2021Proverbs Part 3
Proverbs Part 3In the third part of our Proverbs study, Chatman Laxton brings in the idea that wisdom is a direct reflection of Christ in the New Testament. By looking through the lens of 1 Corinthians 1:30, and specifically the part that says "Jesus Christ has become our wisdom," we can have a deeper understanding of how important the wisdom in Proverbs is for us. God fully intended His people to be wise, and as His people, we should be "waiting at wisdom's doorpost" with expectation.
