Look Out! - I'm Philosophizing!

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:30:00 -0600

We rationalize and analyze and justify our “needs” because it makes sense and seems to be the right thing for us. But do we defer to God in these matters? Do we really trust Him and are we willing to have it not be all about us? Are you willing to give it up and give it back to God, whatever your “it” may be?

Look Out! - God is Talking!

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:34:00 -0600

When it comes to listening to God, am I testing or trusting? Though we may want to deny it and choose to be impulsive rather than wait, who is really in control when you get down to it? There is freedom in surrendering ultimate control but our flesh will violently fight against our desired obedience. Even small points of obedience are great in His sight.

Look Out! - I'm Progressive

admin — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:24:00 -0600

What happens when we get so progressive that we depart from our original teaching? Am I known more for what I am for or for what I’m against? All of God’s giants were weak people; Moses, Gideon, Abraham, Peter, David, and the list goes on. Our own brokenness can be a place of healing for others, if we allow it.

Look Out! - Legalism

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 15:36:00 -0600

We look at the different fruit that comes from legalism (religiosity) compared to the fruit of grace. What it really boils down to is the Cross. It is a point of connection and contention. Do you live via big talk and big words or do you walk humbly in relationship?

Look Out! - I'm Talking

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:19:00 -0600

A word can either accomplish or destroy. We need to LOOK OUT with respect to what comes out of our mouth. We either speak out of our present relationship with God or from our insecurities. Do we speak of God as if He were in the room or far away? Do we talk about what God has done or what He is currently doing?

Our Need for His Presence

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:06:00 -0600

We need the presence of God in our lives. As we look through scripture, we see the importance of His presence from the beginning in Genesis, to the Exodus, to the Psalms, and so on. In our busy day to day lives, how much room do we make for the reality of His constant presence?

Look Out! - I'm Building!

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 10:24:00 -0600

Who’s foundation are you building on? What is being built into our lives and what are we building into the lives of others? If we build on the foundation of Christ, what we build will withstand the final shaking. If not, it will not withstand the fire. Look out what you are building on!

Look Out! - Watch Your Stance!

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:11:00 -0600

God’s promise is that you will not be tempted more than you can bear and that he will be faithful in providing a way out when we are tempted, but we need to choose to look for it and act on it. We see that unchecked strength is double weakness and that standing apart in Christ is not necessarily standing up and looking down on others. We need to look out and keep our confidence in check or else, we’ll fall.

Look Out! - I'm Liberated!

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 13:30:00 -0600

Summer is often a time to take a break, but we need to look out that we are not taking a break from spending time with God. Though we are free, the “when” and “how” we choose to express our freedom can cause our brothers and sisters to stumble.

There's An App. For That! - Self-Control

admin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:13:00 -0600

You can have one marshmallow now or wait and have two later. Which would you choose, having one now or two later? We are living in the midst of the “me” or “taker” generation. Self-control is never convenient but it allows us to be courageous in the face of our temptations.
