The Tongue

Jim Leffel

1 Corinthians 14:26

James told us that the tongue is hard to control and it can do a lot of damage. What we say can be very encouraging, or dangerously damaging. We are called to speak to others like we are saying the utterances of God.

It Is Finished

Scott Risley

Matthew 27:11-51

Whereas the enemies of God used the cross to kill Jesus, God used it to bring eternal life to whomever puts their faith in Jesus to pay their sin debt. When Jesus said, "It is finished," He was proclaiming the punishment for sin had been fully paid by His death. For anyone who believes, the certificate of debt has been cancelled. Have you asked to have your certificate of debt nailed to the cross? Are you growing in your appreciation of the cross?

Songs of Freedom

Lee Campbell

Psalms 130:1-8

It is easy for us to get an inward focus started when we are confronted with the anxieties and challenges of life. God has given more to free us than anyone else in our lives - He sent His own son to die for our sins so that we could have a relationship with Him. God's provision gives us the capacity to serve others, and we can remember this by turning to Him.

Religion vs. True Spirituality

Dennis McCallum

Matthew 23:1-39

Jesus takes one final shot at the Pharisees, and their legalistic mentality associated with religion. The Pharisees practiced false spirituality by living in hypocrisy, bossing and putting others under legalistic standards and being egotistical. Jesus' life emphasizes what real spirituality looks like: a humble, others-centered lifestyle of love that emphasizes Biblical truth and where what is on the outside reflects the internal change of the heart through loving and trusting God. Jesus came to offer eternal life, while the Pharisees merely wanted to look righteous on the outside, but inwardly were far from God. This religious mentality is a big barrier for people to come to faith in Jesus Christ.

Good Deeds

Jim Leffel

1 Peter 3:9

Do we believe in the truth of the statement from Jesus that it is more blessed to give than to receive? Good deeds are a way to communicate in a way that, where our words may cause offense, what we do cultivates understanding and a desire to learn more. When we are able to sacrificially serve and help those around us we are putting the Gospel on display to a witnessing world.

What an Amazing God

Jim Leffel

Isaiah 43:4

What is our view of God? What is going on in our relationship with Him? It's easy for us to get distracted and lose focus of how loved and honored we are in God's sight. God has made Himself totally approachable and has done everything and given everything to move towards us who know Him and towards those who don't know Him. \r\n

The Story of Joseph

Ryan Lowery

Genesis 39:1-45:11

Though Joseph was was a man of faith, his life was filled with confusion and pain. Often in the midst of suffering and trials it is difficult to see how God is working. Ultimately, God used Joseph's faithful suffering in order to bring about incredible good for him and his family. God also has a purpose for our lives, but in order to see this purpose realized we must be willing to trust Him through any circumstance.\r\n\r\n

Responding to God's Moral Correction

Gary DeLashmutt

Psalms 32:1-9

Our natural way to address our sin is to deny its sinfulness in many different ways and to hide from it. But God is calling us to come to Him and address the sin in confession, repentance, and ask for His great compassion to blot out our transgressions. The church is for people who know they are sinners not for those who think they have no sin to confess.

Jesus' Shepherd Heart

Dennis McCallum

Matthew 18:1-35

Jesus explains the humility needed to enter into the Kingdom of God. He expresses the severity that will fall on those who try to stumble others from entering the Kingdom. We see that Jesus is protective of his flock, as he addresses the practice of church discipline, which ultimately reflects God's love and care. Jesus also shares his forgiving nature as he teaches on the priority of forgiving others while talking with Peter. If we are trying to become more like Jesus, we must prioritize his heart of compassion, forgiveness, and humility. All three of these characteristics were personified with his work on the cross so that people could have a personal relationship with God.
