  Proverbs: "God’s Sovereignty & Man’s Plans" | Speaker Mark Farran

  Aug 16, 202632 min

  We all make plans, but Proverbs 16 reminds us that God is the one who ultimately establishes our steps. Our desires for love, security, purpose, and experience are not wrong in themselves, but our motives behind them are often harder to see clearly than we think. God weighs what we cannot, and He invites us to bring our plans to Him with open hands. Surrendering our desires to His glory is not about giving up what we want. It is about trusting the One who wrote the stars into motion before humanity even existed. His sovereignty and our choices are not in conflict. They are the stage on which His character is most clearly revealed. The question worth asking is not just what we want, but whether what we want reflects the glory of God. https://www.ankenyfree.church

  Proverbs: "The Friend: | Speaker Hunter Thorpe

  Aug 9, 202632 min

  Friendship is one of the most powerful forces shaping how we grow in faith, wisdom, and character. Proverbs 18 warns against both isolation and shallow relationships, pointing us toward the kind of deep, genuine community that produces real wisdom. A fool speaks without seeking understanding, while the wise person listens, invites honest feedback, and surrounds himself with trusted voices. Humility is the foundation of both wisdom and honor, and no one grows in godliness alone. The church is uniquely designed to provide the multigenerational, cross-cultural relationships that the world increasingly lacks. When conflict arises, godly wisdom calls us to hear both sides before drawing conclusions and to choose love over the need to be right. Every believer needs both a mentor who pours into them and someone they are investing in themselves. And for those who have been wounded by broken friendships, Jesus remains the most faithful friend of all, the One who is making all things new. https://www.ankenyfree.church

  Proverbs: "The Drunkard" | Speaker Matt May

  Aug 2, 202631 min

  Alcohol is one of those topics that often gets treated casually, even in Christian circles, but Scripture takes it seriously. Proverbs 23 paints a vivid picture of the destruction that excessive drinking brings, not just physically, but spiritually and relationally. The Bible does not say Christians cannot drink, but it is clear that abusing alcohol leads to real and lasting harm. Our bodies, our souls, and our relationships all bear the cost. God's design is not for us to be controlled by anything other than His Spirit. The question worth asking is not just whether drinking is allowed, but whether it is pulling us closer to God or further away. Whatever habit may be quietly competing for our devotion, God invites us to make room for Him instead. https://www.ankenyfree.church

  Proverbs: "How is Your Garden?" | Pastor J.D. Abell

  Jul 26, 202642 min

  Laziness is a sin that often hides in plain sight, disguised as rest or self-care. Proverbs 24:30-34 uses the image of a neglected vineyard to show what an undisciplined life looks like from the outside. The Bible identifies seven key characteristics of a lazy lifestyle, including trouble starting and finishing work, making excuses, and being wise in one's own eyes. The real cure for laziness is not simply working harder. It is a heart transformation that only comes through Jesus Christ. He was perfectly faithful in everything the Father gave Him to do, and through faith in Him, His faithfulness is credited to us. Because of the gospel, we have both the forgiveness for our failures and the power through the Holy Spirit to grow in faithfulness. https://www.ankenyfree.church

  Proverbs: "The Talker" | Pastor Todd Hessel

  Jul 12, 202638 min

  Words are more than communication. They are a window into the condition of our hearts. Proverbs 25 weaves together a collection of wisdom sayings that all point to one central truth: what we fail to rule on the inside will eventually ruin the outside. From the danger of empty promises to the power of a well-timed word, this chapter challenges us to take our speech seriously. Jesus perfectly embodies every principle found here, coming from heaven to bring good news to spiritually hungry and thirsty people. By His grace and through the Holy Spirit, we can become people whose words bring life, healing, and truth to everyone around us. https://www.ankenyfree.church
