Proverbs 31 Sermon

On Sunday I preached the final message in our Proverbs series, "The Woman of Valor," from Proverbs 31. From the text, I focused on four characteristics of the valiant woman, in order of importance:

She fears the Lord.
She gives her life away.
She is capable.
She is influential.

• Listen online or download an mp3 of the message.
• Download a summary outline in PDF format.
• Use the following questions prepared by Don Devries to reflect on how to apply the message to your life.

1. A godly woman knows and fears the Lord. Is there anything you are living for--personal success, a husband, your children, etc.--more than you are living for God and His Kingdom?

2. Josh taught us that the Proverbs 31 woman is capable. How can this chapter stir godly ambitions for the Lord?

3. As Josh taught, the Proverbs 31 woman gives her life away. Is there need around you that the Lord is calling you to help meet?

4. Concerning godly womanhood, are you following what the world values or are you valuing what God says is praiseworthy?

5. In what one Proverbs 31 quality would you like to grow?

6. Men, how can you encourage, cherish and honor the values of womanhood described in Proverbs 31?

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
