New Series Added: Through the Book of Proverbs

Posted on by Frank

Verse by Verse Through the Book of Proverbs – a series of 49 messages.

We are pleased to present Pastor Art Kohl’s Verse by Verse Commentary on the Book of Proverbs. Using the King James Bible as taught during a series of Midweek Bible study services in 2004. This is the second time Pastor Kohl has taught through the Book of Proverbs, back in 1999 he taught to the church in Sunday School. For the first 6 years of Pastor and Mrs Kohl’s marriage they read out together one chapter of Proverbs everyday. Pastor Kohl strongly teaches that the Book of Proverbs answers most of life’s issues and that reading, studying, and obeying it will keep one from many problems.

“The Principle Thing”

“Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
(Proverbs 4:5-7)

  1. I would like to see the whole list of Proverbs together like it was before. I can’t find the sermons on chapters 10 and 11. It would be nice to click on the series and have the entire series come up with hyperlinks. That was much easier to use. Please advise.
    Thanks for your ministry.

  2. what am I doing wrong ‘cos i can’t find mp3 commentaries on proverbs past chapter 7? Every time i click “next page” I go away from the list of Proverbs sermons to other sermons. I am trying to download all the Proverbs sermons ‘cos I listen to them in the car and i need to load the whole lot in a special order so they will just follow each other. Help!! Please. Thank you.

      1. Hi Frank, what can i say? thank you, got them. if you were a South African like me I would use a very expressive expression for gratitude! Nevertheless, many thanks and God bless!
