  Putting Proverbs to the Test | Beyond the Sermon

  Sep 28, 202614 min

  In this episode of Beyond the Sermon, Mat and Pastor Magrey deVega put the Book of Proverbs to the test with a little “Proverbs Roulette.” They randomly select passages and try to make sense of what these ancient sayings can teach us about honesty, relationships, suffering, our words, and everyday life. Along the way, they unpack some unexpected proverbs, surprising interpretations, and a few moments where the wisdom isn’t quite as straightforward as it seems.

  A Time For Wisdom: Proverbs, Part 1 // Pastor Magrey deVega // September 27, 2026

  Sep 28, 202616 min

  The book of Proverbs is filled with easily portable and memorable ideas. At first glance, they might seem too trite to be helpful, much like we take fortune cookies with a grain of salt. But collectively, they point to how the ancient Israelites saw the world, and how we can be faithful in asking hard questions about life. Is there really a cause-and-effect relationship between our actions and the blessings and curses that happen? Where can we find wisdom that is reliable, and truth that lasts? Reflection Questions: 1. Where might humility and curiosity open you to wisdom you need today? 2. Who are the wise people in your life whose guidance you need to hear? 3. Where is God inviting you to move, wait, or trust?

  A Time For Wisdom: Job, Part 2 // Pastor Magrey deVega // September 20, 2026

  Sep 21, 202620 min

  Job suffers and serves as a spokesperson for all humanity. He interrogates God, an act which itself can be a hopeful reminder that God encourages and allows that kind of intimate relationship. The result, in a way, is that Job puts God on “trial,” asking God for justification for all the harshness of life. And then in chapter 28, there is a “verdict” of sorts: the only source for wisdom to help navigate such difficult questions is the “fear of the Lord.” We may not receive all the answers we are seeking, but the solution remains clear: Continue to lean on God and trust, even despite the evidence. Reflection Questions: 1. What suffering has expanded your capacity for faith, love, or trust? 2. Where are you being invited to surrender control and trust God’s larger picture? 3. How might you lean into God amid today’s uncertainty? Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

  Who is God when suffering happens? | Beyond the Sermon

  Sep 21, 202613 min

  In this episode of Beyond the Sermon, Mat sits down with Pastor Magrey deVega to unpack the second half of Job and the questions it raises about suffering, God’s power, free will, and what it means to trust a bigger picture we can’t always see. They also explore why wisdom often comes with time and experience, and how the wisdom literature invites us to step back and see the human story from a wider perspective.

  When the Box Doesn't Fit Anymore | Beyond the Sermon

  Sep 14, 202614 min

  This week Mat and Magrey kick off A Time For Wisdom by diving into the book of Job and what happens when the answers we've relied on no longer make sense. They talk about faith, doubt, unfairness, and the possibility that questioning what we believe can actually make room for something deeper and more expansive. Along the way, they explore why these ancient wisdom texts still speak so directly to the human experience today. Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps
