Scott Scruggs on 2012-05-27 : Toxic / Superiority For many people, the word 'Christian' has become synonymous with the word 'judgmental'. Find out what Jesus had to say about judging others and what we should be doing instead.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-05-20 : Toxic / Lust Jesus gave a stern warning about lustful thoughts. He also gave people a way to find freedom from them.

Chris Sturgeon on 2012-05-13 : Toxic / Deceit Sometimes we try to control what people think of us by misrepresenting the truth about ourselves or our circumstances. How can learn to trust God enough to be authentic and vulnerable with each other?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-05-06 : Toxic / Envy One of the most dangerous threats to your life with God and your relationship with others is envy. So what drives us to be envious of others and how do we find freedom from it?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-04-28 : What If... / What If God is Calling You? God has something to say to everyone. So what might he be saying to you?

Nick Bott on 2012-04-22 : What If... / What If There's No Plan B? Many people see the church as obsolete. Others see it as one option among many for community or spiritual growth. But God has called the church to bring his redemption to the world--and there's no Plan B.

Nancy Ortberg on 2012-04-15 : What If... / What If the Church is a Family? God did not intend the church to be a gathering of religious consumers, but a family where everyone matters, everyone is loved, and everyone has a role to play.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-04-08 : What If... / What If Jesus Isn't Dead For many people, the resurrection of Jesus is an inspiring story, but sounds too unrealistic to be true. The disciples who found the empty tomb had a similar thought--until they saw Jesus and everything changed.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-04-01 : Likewise / Learning to Die Jesus called his followers to pick up their cross and follow him. But what does that actually mean and why is it so important?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-03-25 : Likewise / Learning to Worship Jesus never gave a sermon how to worship. But his actions at the temple convey a clear and urgent message about the meaning of worship and its role in our lives.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-03-18 : Likewise / Learning to Give Jesus said the most dangerous thing in your life may be your relationship with your money. So how do you know if that's true for you and what does Jesus suggest you do about it?

John Ortberg on 2012-03-11 : Likewise / Learning to Pray Learning to pray is not as much about when you pray or how often you pray or even what words you use. It is about living consistently and joyfully in the presence of a God who is always there.

Scott Scruggs on 2012-03-04 : Likewise / Learning To Rest Jesus invited the worn-out and burned-out to come and find true rest in him. So how do we confront our busy and pressure-packed lives and learn to live free from hurry?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-02-26 : Likewise / Learning to Fast The first place that God called Jesus to go was into the desert to fast for forty days. What did Jesus learn about God in the wilderness and what does that mean for our lives today?

Scott Scruggs on 2012-02-19 : Likewise / Learning to Trust If all of God's commands had to be boiled down to one, it would simply be "trust him." But trusting God is easier said than done. So the first practice we need to practice is how to trust God like Jesus did.
