When you get angry, how do you respond to the one who caused the anger? Do you blow up and go off all over them? Do you shut down? Do you try to make peace?
Did Jesus ever get angry? If so, what can we learn from how the sinless Son of God handled His anger?
Let's be honest...we all get angry, right? But is it wrong to get angry? Is it a sin? That all depends on what you do with it.
We all like our stuff don't we? Our house, our computer, our iPod, our money...but is it really ours to do with as we please, or does God lay claim on it for a higher purpose?
How many times have you uttered the phrase, "You want me to do WHAT?" The thing is, whether or not we agree with those in authority over us may not matter...
One of the awesome things about Jesus is that He totally understands who we are and our unique personalities. After all, He helped create us! Mark Barnhill leads us through one specfic example of Jesus reaching out to sisters in totally different ways.
A lot of things please us. In fact, most of us are a little too easy to please sometimes. But what pleases God? Mark Barnhill shares with us that faith is something that makes our Father pleased.
As a Christ-follower, people often feel (or at least act) like they are too good for certain tasks or certain other people. Find out what that has to do with stars and higher standards of conduct!
Have you ever been represented poorly? Sometimes, as believers, we drop the ball when it comes to representing Jesus well. Shawn shows us what Paul has to say about it in Philippians.
We WILL suffer some tough times in life. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or hasn't read their Bible. But how can those times serve to deepen our faith? Shawn takes us through a look at Paul's letter to the church in Philippi.
Are you a little overly proud of yourself? Mark talks to us about what we should brag about - our own accomplishments, or on the things of God.
"Shema" is a Hebrew word. It carries a concept of listening, but it's more than that. It's not just listening, but taking what you hear to heart and obeying it. In Deuteronomy 6, Moses gives some great instruction on how to stay connected with God, and it all begins with "Shema."
Speaker: Mark Barnhill Description: Ever get tired of your day not going as you planned? People keep popping in to your office or you get a phone call from "that" person? Maybe those aren't just coincidences. Intrigued? Listen and find out more!
Speaker: Mark Barnhill Description: The Bible talks a lot about the connection between what's in our heads and hearts and who we are. Proverbs 23:7 and Matthew 12:34-35 are our key verses today.
Speaker: Mark Barnhill Description: Acts 3:19-20 tells us to "repent," but what does it really mean to do that?
Speaker: Mark Barnhill Description: Revelation 3:20 is an invitation from God for us to connect with Him. Mark Barnhill shows us that we really can connect with the Creator of the universe!
Speaker: Shawn Finney Description: James warns us to make smart choices about the kind of lives we lead and the people we will be. This flows right out of his earlier message on the words we use.
Speaker: Shawn Finney Description: James writes that our words are powerful. They can either be life-giving or spiritually dehydrating to those around us. What kind of words are you using?
Speaker: Shawn Finney Description: James writes in the second chapter of his letter that it's not enough to just hear what God tells us, we have to follow through with obedience!
Speaker: Shawn Finney Description: In James open letter to believers in Christ, he writes about how if you just hear God's Word and don't let it sink into your heart and put it into practice, you're missing the point.
