Sermons About Idols
Not The God We Would Choose
We make idols of the heart whenever we think that our performance means God will do for us whatever we want. While we no longer make wooden statues, we will tithe to get God's prosperity or attend church in hopes that God will give us family stability. Instead, the Living God challenges our sin like no idol would, but also reaches out to us with grace like no god of our own making could. Sermon included Rob Bell's Nooma video: Lump.

The Performance Trap - Parent Trap #3
Parents are the most influential people in a child’s life. Good parents always want what is best for their children. They want good things for their kids: to be happy, productive and moral. But good things out of place can become dangerous. Well meaning parents regularly step into traps that poison a child’s faith in the name of something good. Don’t fall into the "Parent Trap." By looking at major Bible themes, Lead Pastor Jeff Lawrence helps parents avoid the traps that damage a child’s faith.
