Today, we were grateful to have Chase Johnson preach from Proverbs 3:1–12, walking us through a powerful word on what it means to live in true peace—not through self-improvement, but by trusting in our Heavenly Father, who delights in us as His beloved children.
Message Title: The Fruit of Faithfulness
Main Point: True shalom (wholeness, health, and harmony) comes not through self-help but by trusting the God who calls us sons and daughters.
The Father’s Commands
We’re called to love God and neighbor—not as a way to earn favor, but because we’ve already been loved with hesed (steadfast, covenant love). The fruit? Peace, favor, and formation in love.
The Father’s Paths
Instead of leaning on our own understanding, we’re invited to trust God with our whole heart—mind, will, and emotions. Trusting Him leads to healing and refreshment, even when life throws curveballs.
The Father’s Provision
We don’t give because we have a lot; we give because we trust the One who provides. God’s wisdom teaches us to honor Him with our firstfruits—not out of guilt, but out of gratitude.
The Father’s Discipline
God’s correction isn’t punishment—it’s proof of His delight in us. He disciplines us because He loves us, like any good father would.
Chase reminded us:
“Your Father really loves you. His face is filled with joy and delight. Each morning and night, before and after your sin, He sees you with delight.”
Response Challenge:
This week, identify one small way you’ve experienced God’s love each day. Declare His steadfast love in the morning and His faithfulness at night (Psalm 92:1–2). Let that delight shape the way you live, love, and trust.
As we live out this wisdom together, may we bear the fruit of faithfulness—not by trying harder, but by resting deeper in our Father’s love.
