Hot Light

The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast

Message Pastor Jason

We are diving into the book of Proverbs, focusing on a passage that offers practical wisdom on the company we keep. As I reflect on my high school days, a time when the Krispy Kreme Hot Light signified fresh, warm donuts, I can't help but draw a connection to our scripture: Proverbs 22:24-25.

This passage warns us about the dangers of surrounding ourselves with hot-tempered people—those whose lives are controlled by anger. Anger can be contagious, leading us down a destructive path. But this scripture doesn't just caution us; it calls us to be different, to choose a path of peace and righteousness instead.

We'll explore how Jesus' righteous anger differed from human wrath, and how we're called to be peacemakers in a world that often glorifies anger. As we dig into these verses, we'll challenge ourselves to leave the "hot lights" for donuts and instead, clothe ourselves in the fruit of the Spirit—compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Join me as we discuss how to navigate a world filled with anger and how to embody the peace that God calls us to offer.
