   God Breathed Wk3 | 10-25-2026 | Pastor Dave Brown

   10-25-2026 Redeemer Church | Pastor Dave Brown God Breathed – Week 4: Wisdom Literature Main Theme The Bible contains life-transforming power, but believers have a responsibility to read Scripture carefully, slowly, prayerfully, and in community. Rather than forcing our own opinions onto the text, we submit ourselves to God's Word and allow it to transform us. "Scripture has authority over us, not the other way around." Key Scriptures Acts 2 – The early church devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (theme verse of the series) – Scripture is God-breathed and useful for shaping God's people. What Is Wisdom? Pastor Dave distinguished three important ideas: Intelligence = capacity to understand. Knowledge = what has been learned. Wisdom = knowing how to live well with what has been learned. Being smart and being wise are not the same thing. Foundational Text Proverbs 3:13-20 Highlights: Wisdom is more valuable than silver or gold. Wisdom is the source of flourishing and life. God created the world through wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Wisdom is not merely information. It is living faithfully in God's world according to God's ways. Wisdom Literature as "Life Courses" Pastor Dave compared biblical wisdom books to levels of education: Life 101 – Proverbs Key Scripture Proverbs 1:4-5 Purpose: Give prudence to the simple. Give knowledge and discretion to the young. Help the wise become even wiser. Main Lessons Proverbs teaches general truths about how life usually works: Work hard and you are more likely to prosper. Careless words create problems. Foolish companions lead to harmful outcomes. Important reminder: Proverbs are not promises or contracts with God. They function more like bowling-lane bumpers: They keep us out of the gutter. They do not guarantee a strike. The book continually asks: "You know what is right. Are you living it?" Life 201 – Ecclesiastes After mastering the basics, deeper questions emerge: What is the point of life? Why am I here? Is there more than success and achievement? Key Theme Ecclesiastes explores meaning beyond accomplishment. Though the Teacher gains success, wealth, and influence, he repeatedly declares: "Everything is meaningless" apart from God. Main Lesson Ecclesiastes teaches that meaning is found in: God's presence. Faithfulness in everyday life. Receiving ordinary moments as gifts from God. Pastor Dave emphasized: Our being gives meaning to our doing. Transformation into Christlikeness gives purpose to all the ordinary moments that make up most of life. Life 301 – Job Eventually suffering comes. Even when we faithfully follow God, life can fall apart. Questions emerge: Why me? Where is God? Why has this happened? Key Insight The book of Job is not primarily about explaining why evil exists. Instead, Job focuses on: How Job responds to suffering. How God responds to Job. Important Observations Job honestly questions God. He laments, protests, and demands answers. God does not explain every reason for Job's suffering. Instead: God comes to Job. God's presence becomes the answer. Main Lesson from Job God is bigger than our understanding. Even when questions remain unanswered: God hears our cries. God draws near. God reveals Himself. God's presence brings healing, peace, and wholeness. Job is transformed not by explanations but by an encounter with God. How All Wisdom Literature Points to Jesus Pastor Dave concluded that Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job all ultimately lead us to Christ. Jesus Is Wisdom Made Flesh Jesus: Teaches us how to live wisely. Enters ordinary human life. Shares in our suffering. Reveals God's presence in everyday moments. Conquers sin and death through His resurrection. Assures us we are never abandoned. Key Biblical Connections John 1:14 – God dwelt among us in Jesus. Matthew 1:23 – Jesus is Emmanuel, "God with us." 1 Corinthians 1:24 – Christ is "the wisdom of God." Jesus is not merely a teacher of wisdom. Jesus is the wisdom of God made flesh. Takeaway Highlights ✅ Read Scripture slowly, humbly, and with expectation. ✅ Wisdom is living well according to God's truth, not merely gaining knowledge. ✅ Proverbs teaches how life generally works. ✅ Ecclesiastes teaches that God's presence gives meaning to ordinary life. ✅ Job teaches that God's presence is more transformative than having all our questions answered. ✅ The entire wisdom tradition points to Jesus Christ, who embodies God's wisdom and walks with us through both ordinary life and suffering. Big Idea: The goal of wisdom is not simply knowing more about God, but being transformed by His presence and living faithfully with Him every day.

   God Breathed Wk3 | 10-18-2026 | Pastor Dave Brown

   10-18-2026 Redeemer Church | Pastor Dave Brown God Breathed, Week 3: Reading the War Stories Through Jesus How should followers of Jesus understand the troubling war narratives of the Old Testament? In Week 3 of God Breathed, Pastor Dave Brown examines the book of Joshua and the difficult questions raised by Israel’s conquest of Canaan. Instead of defending these stories with quick or overly simple explanations, he invites us to acknowledge their tension and read them with theological humility. The sermon focuses on Matthew 15:21–28, the only New Testament passage that explicitly identifies someone as a Canaanite. A Canaanite woman approaches Jesus and pleads for her daughter’s healing. Although the disciples want to send her away, Jesus recognizes her faith and restores her daughter. This encounter takes on added significance because the names Jesus and Joshua are both derived from the Hebrew name Yeshua. Joshua’s story describes Israel’s conflict with the Canaanites, but Jesus, the new and greater Joshua, offers a Canaanite woman healing, hope, and a place within God’s unfolding kingdom. Jesus shows us how to understand the larger biblical story. In him, God does “a new thing” (Isaiah 43:19): enemies are loved, mercy triumphs, swords are put away, and outsiders are welcomed. Jesus rides a donkey rather than a warhorse and goes to a cross rather than seizing an earthly throne. Reading the Old Testament faithfully therefore requires more than a surface-level interpretation. Just as Jesus opened the Scriptures to the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35), his followers must learn to see the entire biblical story in relationship to him. Jesus does not merely appear at the end of the Old Testament’s story. He is the one about whom the story ultimately speaks and the clearest revelation of what the Father is like. Rahab’s inclusion in Israel and in the genealogy of Jesus further demonstrates that God’s redemptive purpose has always been capable of turning outsiders into insiders. We may not have easy answers to every difficult passage, but we can approach Scripture with courage, humility, and trust. When our interpretation seems inconsistent with Jesus, we should hold our conclusions carefully, listen to the Holy Spirit, and allow the life and teachings of Christ to guide our understanding. Scripture references: Genesis 9:20–27; Joshua 5:13–15; Joshua 6:15–25; Judges 11:29–40; Isaiah 43:18–19; Matthew 5:38–48; Matthew 15:21–28; Luke 24:13–35.

   God Breathed | 09-27-2026 | Pastor Dr. Leanne Benton

   10-11-2026 Redeemer Church | Pastor Dr. Leanne Benton God Breathed – Week 2: Deliverance Stories In Week 2 of God Breathed, we explore the Bible’s deliverance stories through Exodus 3, where God calls Moses at the burning bush and reveals His heart for people who are suffering. God declares, “I have seen, I have heard, I know, and I have come down,” reminding us that the God who delivers is the God who draws near. This message challenges us to expand our understanding of deliverance. While God sometimes brings dramatic rescue and breakthrough, Scripture also shows His faithfulness in the wilderness, sustaining His people through seasons of waiting, uncertainty, grief, and healing. Deliverance is not only freedom from hardship, but God's presence through it. Drawing from the stories of Moses and Israel (Exodus 3–14) and Hagar (Genesis 16; 21), we see a consistent picture of God: He sees the overlooked, hears the cries of the hurting, and responds with compassion and provision. Hagar’s declaration of God as El Roi, “the God who sees me,” reminds us that no one is invisible to God’s care. The sermon also explores how remembering God’s faithfulness strengthens us in seasons of fear. Just as Israel continually retold the Exodus story, believers today are called to share testimonies of God’s presence, grace, and provision. Sometimes the most powerful deliverance story is not an instant miracle, but the testimony that God walked faithfully with us through the struggle Ultimately, every deliverance story points to Jesus Christ, who entered our suffering, proclaimed freedom for the captive, carried our sin on the cross, and secured victory through His resurrection. In Christ, we find both hope for future restoration and assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Key Scriptures: Exodus 3:7-12 Exodus 14:13-15 Genesis 16:13 Genesis 21 Psalm 23 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Luke 4:18-19 John 1:14 Revelation 21:5 Key Theme: The God who delivers is the God who draws near. Whether in rescue, waiting, healing, or hardship, God sees, hears, knows, and walks with His people. Deliverance is coming, and God may even use us as part of someone else’s deliverance story.
