When Right is Wrong - Part 2
It seems like everywhere we look we encounter people who are only looking out for themselves. We see selfish people on the highway, at the grocery store and even in the bathroom mirror. Often our attitudes are driven by the deep conviction that we are better than others. In this section of his letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul says that there is a way to live that puts other people first and sees them as equals. This way of life is what God is all about. He takes it very seriously when we treat someone with prejudice or with pride. God’s desire is that we would emulate Jesus and live with humility, seeking equality and justice for others.

When Right is Wrong - Part 1
What does it take to be community? What does a community of Christ followers look like? What will that kind of community be known for in their city, on their planet? These questions are answered when God deals with a rather strange conflict over eating meat. Nope, it’s not a call by God to become vegetarian. It’s a deeper call to self-giving love.

Dealing With Offenses
Most offenses are caused by dealing with unrealized expectations. Those who are not close to us we find no difficulty forgiving, but those closest to our hearts have the greatest ability to spark an offense in our hearts.
