This quarter we begin our study on the book of Luke. What does this book have to say about the first advent of Jesus Christ? How does Luke approach this subject? What can we learn from the two miracle births of John the Baptist and Jesus? As the angel came to bring the news, how were the reactions of both sets of parents different? Who exactly was Luke and what makes him a credible source of information? Did Luke witness everything? If not, how do we know his account can be trusted? Why was the book of Luke written? This week we tackle many of these subjects.
What does Proverbs say about humility and pride? What wisdom is there in being humble? This particular set of proverbs was contributed by Agur, who scholars know very limited information about.

In what ways do the words used in these Proverbs connect with God's discussion with Job? What statements are made about God as Creator?
This week we begin studying the book of Proverbs written by Solomon. What is the meaning of these wise sayings? Why did Solomon write them? Where did Solomon get his wisdom from?

Is there a difference between worldly wisdom and heavenly wisdom? As we begin our study on the book of Proverbs we will look at Solomon's call to wisdom and tackle many of these questions.
