As we continue in our series “The Bible Doesn’t Say That” we examine the phrase “Do Not Judge” and if it holds any biblical truths. We see the phrase stated by Jesus in Matthew 7:1-6 but does our ideals in today’s culture match with the ideas expressed by Jesus? Our culture is set on repeating the phrase of “Do Not Judge” but I’m convince that it is better translated as “Do Not Tell Me I’m Wrong”. We exist in a culture where no one wants to be under the watch, submission, or authority of anyone! Including God! But would God have us as Christians live in a society without accountability? Listen to find out.

The statement made by Jesus in Matthew 7:1-6 should be enough to end the conversation on whether or not Christian brothers or sisters should judge. There’s no need for a sermon on the topic, right? The word judge (krino (Greek)) means to determine salvation of a person. To judge means decide guilt or innocence and to arrive at a verdict. That is being both lawyer and judge and in this passage Jesus is primarily speaking to hypocrites. But from this we have a culture that exists today where people have taken this saying of “Do Not Judge” to mean “Don’t tell me I’m wrong”.

This year for Mother’s Day this year we examined the mother and grandmother of Timothy and how they influenced him to be the man of God that he was. We encourage and challenge our mothers to encourage their children to spread the Gospel, be persistent in their own paths toward God, and they dedicate their children for the purposes of God.

After being a part of the Bible class this evening. We must continue the conversation, ask difficult and scary questions, and educate ourselves on what it is that God wants reflected in the church. Listen to this awesome sermon series for things to think about.

Remember back to some of your darkest moments. Are you there? They are usually very easy to remember and recall. They are kind of like scars. Once they heal over and “get better” there is still a reminder that they happened. In those moments we reach out to people and they in all sincerity may tell us the famous one liner “God won’t give you more than you can handle.”. Well in this sermon/podcast we examine this phrase on how Paul proves that God will allow some pretty tough things to come in our lives, but these moments make us better! God will allow more than you can handle, so that we don’t rely on us.

In the second week of our sermon series we examine the idea of “Obedience Always Leads to Financial Blessings”. This is a concept that has gotten many into trouble causing them to doubt either themselves or God. It also gives room for the prosperity Gospel to grow. Take a listen and then join us next Sunday at 10:30 for worship!

I remember watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a kid, the good one (1971 version), and I was sucked into the world of candy! This story was every fat kids dream and I was not exempt! What if I could eat grass, trees, and drink from chocolate rivers! The movie took a quick turn for the worse as the kids would be somewhat tortured and chastised for doing what I would have done. Looking back at this movie it is a bit of fantasy… OK it’s all fantasy! But what I loved the most was Charlie’s story.

It is amazing how this meeting of people at the communion table are connected from the past and how we are still connected in the present.

“God helps those who help themselves.” It sounds like a statement that could be included in the Bible but upon further examination it cannot be found.
