The Faith Our Mothers Live By

Rev. Bruce Brown
Habakkuk 2:1-4
I. The Foundation of Faith (verses 2-3b)
2. The Humility of Faith (verse 4)
3. The Perseverance of Faith (verses 1, 3b-4)
“To lie by faith means to believe God’s Word and obey it no matter how we feel, what we see, or what the consequences may be…. The men and women mentioned in Hebrews 11 were ordinary people, but they accomplished extraordinary things because they trusted God and did what He told them to do. It has well been said that faith is not believing in spite of evidence; its obeying in spite of consequence, resting on God’s faithfulness.” Warren W. Wiersbe
Wisdom Does Beautifully
James 3:13-18
Rev. Bruce Brown

I. Wisdom is Not a Matter of Knowledge But of Action (verse 13)
II. False Wisdom Behaving Badly (verses 14-16)
III. True Wisdom Behaving Beautifully (verses 17-18)
“Wisdom is something that can be shown, and does not exist if it is not shown. It is seen – not primarily in words but deeds… In looking for wisdom we are to look for the good life, not clever answers. And the good life is one made up of deeds done in humility. Wisdom leads to humility, which in turn produces good deeds.” ~ Sam Allberry

"This woman is not a living in a perfect environmnet where life is a breeze. She is living in the real world, and she is up to the challenge. No wonder her husband trusts her. He feels honored to be her husband. This woman that God gave him is his greatest earthly treasure. In fact, there is only one person this husband trusts more than his wife, and that is Jesus Christ himself. She has won a deep place in his heart. She is "an excellent wife," and her husband cherishes her." ~ Ray Ortlund Jr.
