We cannot live a meaningful life unless we take God seriously. In this passage, Solomon talks about ways that we should do exactly that. He talks about the importance of obedience, listening, and integrity.

What does it mean when David says, “He leads me in paths of righteousness…”? In this sermon, Pastor Kyle examines this verse and then shows what it means for us today.

In Isaiah 9:6, we see a prophecy from hundreds of years ago that Jesus would come as a baby and be our our wonderful counselor.
