Joel looks this week on how we can dispense grace to those around us. Christians have the reputation of being judgmental. What if instead we showed up to those struggling and showed them the kind of grace that God extends to us?

Grace is a lot more complex than most think it is. Grace can unite us and can make us people who look more like Jesus. Grace is such a powerful tool that we as Christians can use for good.

Studies show there's a large percentage of non-Christians who aren't interested in Christianity because of hypocritical people. We could be those people or we may know those people. Niko teaches this week on how the bible tells us to correct hypocritical people and recognizing when we're being hypocritical.

We'll come across some people are just endlessly needy. Jeff Newton, founder of Kokomo Urban Outreach, shares how we help needy people without hurting them and how living life with them is so much more beneficial than doing good deeds that may just end up making us feel good about ourselves.

We all have people in our lives who are overly critical. We look this week at how we can listen and love them and not immediately resort to being defensive. We look so much more like Jesus when we respond in love.

Do you have people in your life that are controlling and guilt you? What if we shifted our focus from what they think of us and how they make us feel and start focusing on God’s calling for us? Our lives could look so much different.

It's one thing to say "He is risen" but it's another thing to believe and trust in the resurrection. Trust is so difficult especially when we're going through hard times and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, but trusting the resurrected king can truly change our lives.

Marty Solomon wraps up our series on Parables with the story of the prodigal son. Although this is one of the most well known parables, there's new things to look at and learn from this ancient story that Jesus told.

Do you ever find yourself looking for loopholes in your faith? Jesus speaks to that in the parable of the good Samaritan. It's an upside down story of the most unlikely person being a neighbor to a stranger. Such a powerful story!

In this parable, we typically look at it and see the pharisee as being stuck up and prideful, but we may be more like the pharisee than we'd like to admit. The tax collector comes to God in need. We should be approaching God with the same attitude and recognizing the ways in which we may look more like the pharisee.
