Joy Busters
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Do you? If you were raised in church, you've probably heard that song, but we want you to be able to sing that and mean it! Happiness is based on circumstances but joy comes from the Lord. In this sermon Bro. Todd talks about joy "busters" or those things that can steal your joy.

Agreeing To Disagree
Acts 15:36-41 Even the greatest figures in the Bible are portrayed with all of their faults. Such is the case with Luke's account of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15. Like a realism artist, Luke paints the two men in light of their imperfection as they experience conflict because they were imperfect. Nonetheless, these men were in the process of being transformed into the saints that God wanted them to be. Through the unfortunate disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, we are reminded how important it is to resolve conflict biblically and how God providentially uses even unresolved conflict to accomplish His purposes in the world and in our lives. In this morning's message, Pastor Ramey teaches from Luke's account of the disagreement between Paul and Barnabas. In verses 36-41 of Acts 15 we learn that disagreements are 1. Regrettable (vv. 36-38) 2. Resolvable (v. 39) 3. Redeemable (vv. 39b-41) The disagreement between Paul and Barnabas is a good example of how two godly people can view the same situation from two very different perspectives. Unfortunately, however, many Christians don't respond any better to disagreement than Paul and Barnabas did in this circumstance. We tend to forget that conflicts, although undesirable, are unavoidable. But, as believers, we should strive to disagree without being disagreeable. For by the example set by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we should be motivated to maintain the bond of peace in spite of any disagreement, and agree to disagree in a way that is honorable to Him. Although we live in a fallen world where conflict and disagreement is certain, we can always have hope because we know that God can use even the sharpest conflict for our good, and to accomplish His will and bring Himself glory.
