The Path of Righteousness

Sep 14, 2025    Pastor Chris Sherwood

In this powerful exploration of righteousness versus wickedness, we delve into the timeless wisdom of Proverbs. The central message is clear: choosing righteousness leads to blessings, while wickedness results in destruction. We're challenged to examine our integrity, both internally and externally, and to align our actions with our professed beliefs. The repeated juxtaposition of righteousness and wickedness throughout Proverbs serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of our choices. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to partner with the Holy Spirit in our pursuit of holiness. The fear of the Lord is presented as the foundation of wisdom, urging us to stand in awe of God's power and justice. This teaching invites us to consider how our choices impact not just ourselves, but our neighbors and communities. As we navigate our faith journey, we're called to be ruthless in putting sin to death and to actively pursue righteousness, trusting that God rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
