We will take a look at one of the hardest things to surrender to the Lord. The Bible says no one can tame the tongue. If you surrender control, God can use it. Join us as we look at the power this little member has in the Christian's life.

We begin a look at ourselves today. When the Christian looks at their life, it should mirror that of Christ. One of the areas we want to emulate is that area of sacrifice. We will look at the instructions to that call us to make others more significant that ourselves. Are we willing to sacrifice in that way?

Looking back at our salvation hopefully brings us great joy. The Lord seeks that relationship with every person. Today, we will be reminded of His call on the disciple's life. With this command to leave it all and follow, Jesus changed the world. Are we willing to do the same thing today?

We reach the final sermon in our Courage of the Church series. Joshua continues to challenge the people of God to be faithful and to always serve the Lord. Joshua himself says, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Have you made that commitment to serving the Lord? Every person has to choose who they will serve.

One of the blessings of being faithful over a long time is the ability to look back and see how the Lord's hand has led. Joshua gives us a look at the Lord's faithfulness over his 100+ years of life. What can you praise the Lord for today in your walk with the Lord?

Our scripture tells of a very faithful leader, as the end is drawing near. Joshua has a few more things to take care of before the Lord is finished with him. Join us as we look at the powerful reminder from a Godly leader. May it charge us to be the faithful people God has called us to be.

"Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

There is a great danger in not clearly explaining the gospel exactly as taught in scripture. To leave anything unexplained is to risk giving someone false assurance which endangers their soul.

The church is made up of many different people, from different backgrounds. Is it possible that we carry the same passion for the Lord, but our perspectives are different? Absolutely! We take a look at an issue that was intended for good and see how it almost became a dividing factor to the Children of God.

How someone perceives a situation can easily turn to reality in their minds. How do perceptions hurt the Church or even other Christians? Today, we look at the problem with perception. May the Lord open our eyes to how we look at others and their situations.

Our message looks at one of the two ordinances that Christ gave his people to observe, The Lord's Supper. This gives us an opportunity to worship and remember the great sacrifice of Jesus for His people. May we prepare our heart as we approach the table today.
