God's Wisdom for a Complex World: A Life Built on the Fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9)
In this Sunday sermon, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks us through Proverbs 9, the final movement in the preamble of Proverbs. He shows us how the fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom and contrasts the invitations of Woman Wisdom and Woman Folly. With compelling illustrations and biblical insights, Pastor Nate invites us to build lives rooted in reverence for God—lives that are receptive to instruction, alive to God’s path, guarded at the heart, and continually drawn to his wisdom. This message offers a powerful call to live more fully in the reality of God’s good design.

Jesus Famous is a ministry of Calvary Monterey.We long to see the fame of Christ. By fame, we mean His glory, His renown, or, to borrow from Colossians, His preeminence (Colossians 1:18). When Jesus is famous, everything changes and He becomes our passion, because His love is better than life.
When Jesus is famous in us, we love Him. We know Him and He knows us. We are captivated by His grace, His forgiveness, and His love.
When Jesus is famous among us, we grow in Him. Our motivations change in pursuit of the gospel. His Spirit transforms us into a loving community.
When Jesus is famous through us, we share Him. Jesus saturates our everyday rhythms and conversations. We are empowered to be on mission, serving those around us.
