Marriage is ...To Be Continued (Pt. 1: WIVES) - 1 Peter 3:1-6

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 3:1-6 - Sun, January 16, 2010. Women, regardless of your husband’s actions and lifestyle, you are called to quietly submit to them as the leader of the home. It’s not that your role is inferior; it’s just different. You’ll be amazed at what God can do when you simply focus on a life of purity & submission. It won’t be easy, but it’s worth it!

Righteousness is ...To Be Continued - 1 Peter 2:21-25

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 2:21-25 - Sun, January 9, 2010. In the 80s, “Righteous!” was an exclamation. For Christians, righteousness is an expectation. Jesus’ substitutionary death took away the power of sin and made righteous living not only a possibility, but the whole purpose of our lives. Because He died, we are now free to live! So, live righteously!

God Keeps Me Safe - Psalm 121

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 121 - Wed, January 12, 2010. We create new containers, develop new spaces, and spend more money now than ever just to keep stuff. It’s never-ending. On a much grander scale, God also keeps things: His people! He’s always watching, keeping, preserving, & prospering His people! He’s got your back – rest in that truth!

God's Word is a Feast - Psalm 119

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 119 - Wed, January 5, 2010. The Bible is often compared to an instruction manual for life. Unfortunately, far too many people treat it like an instruction manual – they throw it to the side until something breaks, then they frantically search through it for a quick-fix. Don’t treat it that way. God’s Word is a spiritual feast. Devour it!

Submission to Authority is ...To Be Continued (Pt. 2) - 1 Peter 2:18-20

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 2:18-20 - Sun, January 2, 2010. When you get a promotion and pay raise at work, it’s pretty easy to submit to your boss. How about when you get demoted or take a pay cut? It’s not so easy then. As a Christian, whether you’re treated fairly or not, in every area of life, you’re called to be patient and godly in how you respond.

God Deserves My Best - Psalm 101

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 101 - Wed, December 29, 2010. It’s almost 2011. It’s time for a new start on a clean slate. But where should we start and how do we do it? David wrote Psalm 101 as he began a new venture in his life as well. The key is standing for God and standing against sin. Don’t compromise. Give God your best in 2011 – He deserves it.

Middle School Jesus - Luke 2:39-52

A topical teaching from the book of Luke - Sunday December 26, 2010. The main images we have in our American minds is of Jesus with flowing robes and sandals, teaching, healing, and being crucified. Before all of that happened though, He spent 30 years growing and preparing. Whatever age you are, be ready for God’s calling and be obsessed with obeying it.
