As we continued our series, Simple, this morning we had guest speaker Alan Wan talk about the stuff that we have in our lives. Being content in life means to be completely sufficient, to need absolutely nothing. Goods can't satisfy us because we were created for promised land living, not the promoted land living.

As we kicked off our new series, Simple, Pastor Steve spoke this morning on our schedules that we have in life. We know that our schedule is a true reflection of what we treasure. A societal obsession with busyness exists in today's world, which often serves as a distraction from deeper personal and spiritual issues. To change our lifestyle requires a change in mind.

As we wrapped up our series, Life Hacks, Pastor Jim spoke this morning on the power of words. Proverbs tells us to pay attention to our words by letting them be few, true, gentle and life giving.

This morning, Pastor Jim spoke on making sense of money, as we continued our series, Life Hacks. Finances is a difficult area, but by keeping God out of certain compartments, like money, we miss out on true life and freedom.

As we near the end of our Blind Spot series, Pastor Jim spoke on lust and how it can affect our life. Lust says that I desire it and I must have it. It is the cry of a desperate heart to be loved. The only problem is, love was never meant to gratify itself. It may have that effect, but when we seek love strictly with the motive of gratifying ourselves, we turn around and find what had been beautiful from the back is hideous in its face.

Pastor Steve spoke this morning on arrogance in our series, Blind Spots. The core of arrogance lies in the belief that we were created not for the intended community but for ourselves, leading to a disregard for the creator. The ultimate goal is to begin moving to a place where you absolutely know and enjoy your need for God and others. This is humility.
