Aim True

Pastor Chris Motes spoke at our chapel this week. Since we are in the midst of harvest time, Pastor Chris related that theme to a Bible verse. Jesus talked about a harvest of people who need the Lord. Matthew 9:37 says, "Then, he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.'"

Tuesday was Historical Figure Day at Ascension Academy. Pastor Chris dressed up as Cyrus McCormick. Cyrus invented the mechanical reaper, which helped farmers greatly increase their crop size.

Pastor Chris shared that he had a couple of friends who had such a huge harvest this year that they asked for help because they had a plentiful harvest, as the verse speaks about, but not enough workers to reap the entire harvest. We do not want to miss opportunities to share our faith with people we know because God might use us to share the truth about the gospel with someone ready to hear and accept.

Next week, Pastor Dennis Wright will be speaking at our chapel. Pastor Dennis is a retired pastor and missionary who formerly pastored Northern Lakes Church. Chapel is at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday. You are invited and welcome to attend.

Our cards to Unity in Hope School System students have been mailed to Mr. Al Ruppel. He will personally deliver these cards to the students at our partner school in Pakistan. We continue to pray for the students there, and you can join in by praying for these students at your home.

We are grateful to Trinity Academy for the donation of 15 desks. Mrs. Kidder used to work at Trinity Academy, and she and her husband picked up the desks today. They will be used in both the middle school room and the computer lab. We are thankful!

This week, your family will study chapters 1-15 of Proverbs.

Proverbs are concise wisdom sayings that share a general truth about life, God, and the world

around us. We have many proverbs in Western culture, such as “Don’t put the cart before the

horse,” “The early bird gets the worm,” and “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” These

sayings help us to live discerningly. Proverbs are not a promise or a command—they are just

general truths. While we can look to the biblical book of Proverbs to help us develop a wise

attitude toward life, we must read the book of Proverbs alongside the other wisdom books,

such as Job and Ecclesiastes, to really understand God’s sovereignty in the affairs of men.

Students are memorizing the following verses for the first week:

K-3 Students - Proverbs 3:5

4-5 Students - Proverbs 3:5-6

6-8 Students - Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 6:1-3

Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Reading this week included the following:

Proverbs 1, 4, 8, 10, 14 (K-3)

Proverbs 1, 3, 4, 6, 8-10, 12-14 (4-5)

Proverbs 1-15 (6-8)

Questions to ponder:

1. What is the purpose of the Proverbs? (Proverbs 1:1-7)

2. In chapter 4, the father is telling his sons to get wisdom. Starting at verse 14, what does the father describe as the opposite of wisdom?

3. How much should we desire wisdom? How can we become wise? (Proverbs 8:17)
   

4. Some of these proverbs contrast wise living with foolish living. How does this style of writing help communicate the author’s point? (Proverbs 10)
   

5. Re-read Proverbs 14:26-27. How is the fear of the Lord described?
