Listen and Learn: Part 1
What and who you listen to will influence what you do. Sounds like advice you might give your kids or a younger brother. But this is sound advice for kids of all ages. Let’s face it . . . your life has been defined by the voices you’ve chosen to tune in, as well as those you’ve opted to tune out. All of us wish we could go back and dial up certain voices in our lives. And if we could go back, there are voices we would tune out altogether. But, we can’t go back. What we can do, however, is begin to listen with greater discernment NOW. In this engaging, 3-part series, Buck will introduce us to the three primary voices we should tune into

Where is the Camera Pointing?
Today I would like to uncover how we praise people with worldly fame, wealth, and influence and to call us towards praising those who take God seriously. The passage in Psalm 15 describes the righteous man who dwells with the Lord. We'll focus on verse 4 which says the righteous man despises a vile person but "honors those who fear the Lord". The Christ centeredness of the passage is that Jesus is the truly righteous man who dwells with the Lord. In Him we are pardoned for how we break verse 4 and through Him we abide with God both now and eternally.

Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-9, 15-16
Purity is not regarded today as a highly sought quality. So it was in the church in Crete. The churches throughout Crete were lacking in the area of purity from its members to even those given the platform to teach. The culture was polluting and contaminating the church. The church was lacking purity of doctrine and purity in living. Such purity is needed from the leaders of the church and throughout the church.

Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-6
In Paul's letter written to Titus one sees life. In fact, a sacred and holy life for a different kind of people, the church. The mission of the church is to be about making things right in a world that is wrong. Things need to be set in order. This week Paul tells Titus to start at the top. Leadership is everything. With Christ as the head leadership is crucial to the church. We need godly influence in the church. This week we will see what that influence is to look like. We all need this model and must follow it.
