Face to Face with Ugliness
There are some things that are simply too hideous to look at, while at the same time they are too gripping to turn away from. To come face to face with something so horrible can be life-changing. It can soften us and melt us, or it can harden us. Yet the greatness problem is not what is going on around us. It is what is going on inside of us. The ugliness of sin has created a hideous monster—self. We have learned to live with it only by ignoring it. Yet through God’s grace in our lives, he brings about circumstances that reveal to us just how bad we really are. When we come face to face with ourselves, we have come face to face with a monster that is far more gruesome than any fictional character could ever be. Yet that face to face encounter with our inner man is often the tool that God uses to wake us up. Today, in the story of Joseph, we see the awakening of a conscience as his brothers come face to face with their own hideous actions. We are reminded that only God’s grace can awaken our conscience and only that same grace can deal with our conscience and cause us to find grace and hope in Jesus.

Right or Wrong
What would happen if we had no laws? What would happen if everyone simply set their own standards and own agendas for what was right and wrong? Could society survive? Judges 21:25 says: "There was no king in Israel, and everyone did as he saw fit." Our North American culture is not too far removed from that statement. We are told that "no one can tell us how to live;" that our choices and preferences are simply private matters of conscience and that no one has a right to "legislate morality." But where will such thinking take us? Romans tells the story of people who cast off the restraint of God's law, and the chaos that ensued. We would do well to learn from their example. But here's a difficult question: Do we have the right or responsibility to enforce our view of right and wrong on anyone else? Key Passage: Romans 1:18-32

Freedom from Condemnation
All of humanity stands equally condemned before a good, just, omniscient, and omnipotent God. We have committed innumerable offenses in word, thought, and deed. We may find this claim uncomfortable, or even offensive. But even those of us who reject the testimony of Scripture and the God of the Bible still find ourselves condemned by our own conscience and our own words. We all struggle to find ways to overcome our guilt and break free from condemnation. The message of the Gospel is that true freedom from condemnation is available to all. Listen in as we read Paul's ancient letter to the Galatians and ask, "how can we be free from condemnation?"
