COR@9 is Redeemer’s longstanding adult ed hour (it stands for “Church of the Redeemer at 9 o’clock). Every Sunday morning at 9 we gather in the lower level for a time of informal teaching and conversation. We end by praying the Great Litany together before we head upstairs for the Eucharist at 10 o’clock.

Our current COR@9 study is the Book of Proverbs. Proverbs offers us practical wisdom for all the complexities of life. While the law of Moses gave the people of Israel God’s rules for a society that honors Him, Proverbs (and the Old Testament Wisdom Literature in general) goes a step further: building on the foundation of the law, it extends God’s revelation into the more complex and morally difficult world of the kingdom of Israel. In it we find not just dos and don’ts, but principles and guidance for all facets of life.

The Book of Proverbs is often passed over in preaching and teaching, but it offers us nothing less than God’s own path to wisdom: the practical skills for living well in the world. Ultimately, it points us to the person of Jesus—the source of all wisdom and the manifestation of a life well-lived.

Please do consider joining us! We’d love to see you.
