Apr 4, 2013 - Apr 8, 2013 Genesis 25:19-21, 24-28 “Tell me about your parents and your family?” This question is asked by diagnostic physicians doing workups on our physical health. It's also asked by psychologists as they assist us in understanding our mental and emotional battles. The same question also needs to be asked as we consider the long-standing habits that threaten our walks with Christ. We know that we are all sinful and in need of salvation, but often, we fail to consider that we bear the specific “bents” of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents.

Apr 1, 2013 - Apr 3, 2013 Joshua 1:1-9 After their exodus from Egypt God's people found themselves lost in the wilderness, and they didn't know where their journey would take them. Moses, their leader, had the spiritual GPS—direct access to Yahweh. Moses led them step by step, day by day, toward their destination. But then Moses died, and the Israelites were disillusioned and afraid. When Joshua took over as their leader, God reminded him that God knew exactly where His people were and where He wanted them to go—to the land of promise. All they had to do was trust in the Lord and step out in faith. We Are Here—Let's Go There!

Mar 27, 2013 - Mar 29, 2013 John 21:1-14 Many fall prey to the temptation of attending church only on those high Christian holidays such as Christmas and, of course, Easter. Sitting in the congregation only once or twice a year, a visitor might wonder just what all the hubbub is about. An hour-long meeting with a little singing and a little preaching is nice but certainly not life-changing! For most people, that's probably right, because the life of faith brings change, not through occasionally dropping in on God but through regular commitment across weeks and weeks of seemingly little change.

Mar 22, 2013 - Mar 26, 2013 Exodus 20:4-6; 34:5-9 We've all heard the following words, sometimes said in affection, sometimes in disgust: “You're just like your father/mother!” In other settings, we've chided, “The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.” Are those merely throwaway clichés, or is there truth in them? We acknowledge that, being human, we are sinful people—sinners by nature, through choice and from birth. We learned in the last message that we were born with the same sinful nature that characterized our parents (Ps. 51:5) and that we “go astray from birth” (58:3). Biblical Parenting read more

Mar 20, 2013 - Mar 21, 2013 Selected Scriptures One of the most frequent mistakes parents make is thinking that when they have a baby the infant comes to them like a soft piece of clay. Most parents believe a child can be easily shaped into whatever is best for that child—and since they (the parents) believe they know what's best, they train their little one in the way they are convinced that child should go. It isn't too many years before the fight is on! As time passes, the struggle intensifies, and the battle with the child's will becomes more difficult. Biblical Parenting read more
