Hello Maple Avenue Ministries Family,

This past Sunday, Pastor Winfred Burns II delivered an inspiring message titled "Upgrade Our Wisdom pt. 1," focusing on the profound impact of living from God's wisdom, as illustrated in Judges 16:16-30. As we gathered on April 26, 2026, we were reminded of the importance of accessing the divine wisdom available to us all as followers of Christ. Below, you'll find some of the key insights from the sermon:

- Living a Zoe Life: Pastor Burns emphasized that living a "Zoe life"—a God-led, God-directed, and God-protected life—requires us to draw from God's wisdom. This wisdom is not only a gift but a necessity for making godly choices and advancing His kingdom.

- The Story of Samson: We learned from the story of Samson, who despite having access to God's wisdom, chose to live by human wisdom, resulting in bondage. This serves as a powerful reminder to seek God's guidance in every decision to avoid unnecessary hardships.

- Pursuing God's Wisdom Daily: The sermon highlighted the need to pursue God's wisdom daily in every aspect of our lives. Whether it's in our relationships, finances, or personal growth, God's guidance is crucial for living a life that honors Him.

As we reflect on these teachings, let's commit to seeking God's wisdom in all areas of our lives. May we strive to listen for His voice, meditate on His word, and allow His guidance to shape our choices. We're blessed to have you in our community, and we hope to see you at our next gathering.

In Christ's love,


The Team at Maple Avenue Ministries
