Our Broken Arrow Senior Pasrtor, Ethan Vanse, begins our new teaching series, Life Lessons.
In a world overflowing with information, opinions, algorithms, and instant answers, Scripture shows us that wisdom is something deeper than knowledge. Biblical wisdom is God’s way that leads to God’s life, and it begins when we humble ourselves, admit we do not already have it, and allow God to speak first. When we seek wisdom from the Lord, put His truth above our feelings and preferences, and apply it in everyday life, we begin to build something steady, lasting, and beautiful.
In this message, Pastor Ethan explores the following Scriptures:
PROVERBS 4:1-2 ESV
1 Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 2 for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching.
PROVERBS 4:7-9 ESV
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. 8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. 9 She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”
ECCLESIASTES 12:11-12 ESV
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
2 TIMOTHY 3:7 ESV
7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
2 TIMOTHY 3:14 ESV
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
PROVERBS 1:7 ESV
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge...
1 CORINTHIANS 3:18-19 ESV
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God...
ECCLESIASTES 10:3 ESV
3 Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
ECCLESIASTES 10:10 NLT
10 Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed.
PROVERBS 8:22-24 ESV
22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. 23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,...

About Church on the Move:
We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids’ environments on up, is to help people know that same love.
We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do and we believe He’s given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

![What Does It Mean to Take Refuge in the Lord?
Our Broken Arrow Senior Pastor, Ethan Vanse, continues week three of our teaching series, Summer in the Psalms.
Psalm 46 teaches us what it means to take refuge in God when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or under siege. When trouble comes, God’s people are invited to respond differently—not by letting fear or circumstances take first place, but by putting God and His promises at the center of how we see everything else.
In this message, Pastor Ethan explores the following Scriptures:
Psalm 46:1-11 ESV
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
John 7:37-39 ESV
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
