Moses: Intimacy with God
Exodus 33:1-34:9 Of all the beings in the universe, only God is perfect. Only God is good, through and through, infinitely.

Suffering Makes Christ's Gospel More Visible
Suffering does make the Gospel more visible to a World that is watching. Ray Stedman says this old guy drove this old "whooptie" of a car with smoking muffler and leaking radiator but kept saying “I’ve got a new Mercedes Benz in my garageâ€. People keep saying "well drive it" rather than talk about it. He kept saying it’s in my garage. Same with us when we keep saying we have this Jesus and this Gospel in our lives…

Life
This talk begins with a satirical look at how we sometimes relate to God. Sometimes it’s easy to look at prayer as a drive-up window at McDonalds. Yet, prayer is one of the main ways that we connect with God. It is a way for us to have a relationship with him. Like a conversation with a friend, prayer provides a means of communication between God and us. That communication can lead us to amazing places in our relationship with God.

Redeeming Relationships Part 7: At Work
Americans work more hours in a year than the citizens of any other country, but our work often feels unsatisfying and meaningless because there is so much toil and frustration. As Christians we should work with the attitude that our ultimate boss is Jesus Christ and we are to work in a way that pleases Him and our supervisors at work are just mid-level managers compared to Him. This means that we should work diligently and honestly because Christ sees everything that we do. We should treat our coworkers with care and respect instead of merely tolerating them or seeing them as obstacles to advancement, and we should treat employees with care instead of as expendable assets to be sacrificed to advance our careers. It also means that we should work hard to provide for our families and use our wages help advance the Gospel by giving to the church and to those in need.

Redeeming Relationships Part 5: In the Church
God has adopted Christians into His family and we are to treat each other with love and respect. Unfortunately, we are all sinful and our relationships degrade into divisions, gossip, bitterness, and conflict. God calls us to put to death this kind of behavior and build relationships out of genuine care for each other, loving confrontation when we see each other sin, forgiveness when we sin against each other, encouragement, and sacrifice for one another, just as God loves us and treats us. If we get bogged down in sins against each other we will be ineffective ambassadors for Him to our community, but if we love each other we demonstrate the Gospel along with our words and faithfully proclaim Him to those around us.
