  August 9, 2026 - LW Studio: Week 4

  Aug 9, 202627 min

  Proverbs 12:18 sets up two ways of speaking: words spoken rashly that cut like a sword, and the tongue of the wise that brings healing. Steven unpacks what that healing speech actually looks like in practice, timely, comforting, controlled, purposeful, and generous, drawing on Proverbs' repeated warnings about babbling fools and the damage careless words can do. But the sermon pushes past technique to the root of it: Jesus taught that our words flow from the abundance of the heart, so the real work isn't just managing what we say but letting God change the heart behind it. Steven offers a simple, practical rhythm for growing in this: pay attention to your words, reflect on them, invite honest feedback from people close to you, and confess when your words have wounded someone. The invitation is to let Jesus, the ultimate model of healing speech, shape how we talk to one another.

  Lady Wisdom's Great Invitation Proverbs picks up where Genesis 1-3 leaves off, wrestling with how to navigate a world that God made good but humanity broke by choosing its own way over his. Into that mess steps Lady Wisdom, a figure who appears throughout Proverbs 1-9 not whispering in private but calling out in the streets, inviting anyone who will listen into a quest for a life well lived. Steven walks through what that quest requires: a certain posture of the heart, the willingness to face life's real complexity, and trust that wisdom's path leads somewhere good. Proverbs calls the ones who find it "happy," blessed, flourishing, the same word Jesus uses on the mountainside in the Beatitudes. The invitation is open to everyone: join the quest for wisdom, and discover the life it leads to.

  Intro to Scriptures’ Wisdom Literature What if Sunday mornings were like walking into a studio, a space where creative work happens and something is always being shaped? That's the image Steven opens with as he launches a new series on the wisdom literature of Scripture. He introduces the five collections of wisdom writing in the Bible, Proverbs, Psalms, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, and describes wisdom itself as an invisible, creative force woven into the order of the universe, God's design for how life is meant to work. Steven traces that thread all the way to Jesus, who Scripture calls the wisdom of God, the one holding all things together. The invitation is simple: journey toward Jesus with your heart set on navigating the complexities and challenges of this world as wisely as possible.

  <p>Every garden has an invisible pulse, an energy that moves through every layer and makes the whole thing come alive. Pastor Steven says the church has one too. It's called grace.<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>In this final sermon of the PLACE series, the E is Ecosystem, Part 2. Steven maps the layers of a garden onto the life of First Baptist Church: identity as bedrock, values as soil, public worship as the surface where people first encounter the community, and the congregation itself as the greenery, ministering to one another and then moving outward into the city...

  <p>The Bible opens in a garden and closes in a garden. In between, Jesus is buried in a garden, raised in a garden, and mistaken for the gardener. That's not a coincidence.<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>In the first of a two-part finale to the PLACE series, Pastor Steven introduces the E: Ecosystem. The word itself comes from the Greek for "home" and the idea of an organized whole. National Geographic calls it a bubble of life. Steven traces garden imagery across the full arc of scripture, from Eden to Psalm 1 to John 15 to Revelation 22, and invites...
