Don't Just Stand There
June 15th: Don't Just Stand There Judging others, when approached the right way, can actually be an extension of God’s work in someone else’s life. We may be tempted to look the other way, but true love involves stepping out of our comfort zones to rescue fellow believers in need. So don’t just stand there. Do something. Matt. 18:12-17

Double Standard
June 8th: Double Standard Most of us know the Bible verse that says, “Do not judge.” But how do we interpret this teaching? Are we supposed to turn a blind eye to sin—or is it appropriate to confront others? We learn in this message that judging is sometimes the loving thing to do. 1 Cor. 5:1-5, 9-11, 12-13

Eye to Eye
Eye To Eye Why do we find it so easy to judge others? And is it ever appropriate to confront someone about sin? In this message, we learn what Jesus said about the subject: when we’re tempted to pass judgment on someone else, we need to stop and see if there’s a trace of the same sin in us. Matt. 7:1-5

Zip It - Gossip
Series Big Idea: God wants to help us all use our words and conversations to bring good things into the lives of others and ourselves and to rid our speech of words that do harm. Big Verse: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” -Ephesians 4:29 May 18th “Gossip” Message Big Idea: Gossip is septic, rotten, causing all sorts of harm. God wants us to get rid of it completely from our speech patterns and to replace it with repeating affirming words behind people’s back.

Prayer - Speed Dial
Speed Dial. What can imposing on our neighbor teach us about God and prayer? Apparently, a great deal. Examine a parable told by Jesus in response to a question by one of His disciples and the implications for our prayer lives. You’ll find the answer will affect not only what you ask for, but also your understanding of how and when God answers prayer.

Lord's Prayer
Most of us have memorized it, but when was the last time we stopped to think about the words? What was Jesus trying to teach us through it? What are the insights to be gathered from this very familiar passage of Scripture? Take the time to walk through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, and see if it changes your perspective on prayer.

I Can Hear You Now
So what is important when we pray? Is it the words that we use? What about the place or the time? As we examine the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8, we are often surprised at the answers. God wants us to connect to Him in a growing, living relationship, and this requires us to take actions we may not have considered before.
