Being mature means listening attentively, gathering relevant information, and avoiding making hasty judgments. This week's message, titled "Religious People Jump to Conclusions: Spiritual People Listen to Conclusions," highlights the importance of fostering compassion and praying for people to join God's harvest. Additionally, the message will provide Christians with three essential components of compassion, namely serving, listening, and forgiving, to enable them to communicate and live a life of goodness with greater compassion and understanding.

Who is influencing you?  There are people on social media known as “influencers” who become models of how to live for many, many people.  The same is true in the church.  There are leaders in the church who have great influence on thousands, or even millions of people.  But are they actually wolves in sheep’s clothing?  Jesus says we must beware of false prophets.  Again, I ask who is influencing you?  That’s what we’ll be looking at this Sunday in the message, “Religious People Are False Prophets; Spiritual People Are True Forecasters.”

Those who walk through the narrow gate understand that trust is earned, while those who walk through the broad gate demand it. This week's message, "Religious People Demand Trust: Spiritual People Earn Trust," will highlight the Christ trait of "Decisiveness" and its significance in developing trust in life and with others. The message will also provide three practical tips to help you make decisions confidently and promptly, aligning your trust muscle with Jesus' way of trusting with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.

The golden rule of "Do unto others" is taught by moms worldwide to ensure that others are not harmed or manipulated by false promises and pledges. This week's message, "Religious People Make Promises; Spiritual People Keep Promises," will center around the importance of integrity to achieve spiritual growth and inner peace. Also, it will share Christ's ingredients that make up the virtue of "sensitivity," which guarantees to treat others as you would like to be treated and puts smiles on mothers' faces everywhere.

Jesus…almost too good to be true. Yet, not only is Jesus true, he is truth…not only is he good, he is goodness. Jesus is not A way, A truth and A life…he is THE Way, THE truth and THE life. There is no other. Only in him can we live abundantly for all eternity rather than just trying to survive another day. And that is the point of this week's message entitled "Religious People Survive by Scarcity; Spiritual People Thrive By Abundance."

This week, Dr. Steve Vanostran, Executive Director of ABCRM, will unscramble some things to deliver Sunday's message. Be excited and ready to receive God's word to understand the difference between scrambling and unscrambling life through Jesus and the church. Also, be awake and prepared to receive God's word from our Executive Director to support him as he casts pearls of wisdom to add value to the ministry God has given us in Morgan County and beyond.

One of the challenges in Christianity is understanding the difference between judgment and discernment. This week's message, "Religious People Are Judgmental; Spiritual People Are Discerning," will share the distinction between the two and give straightforward ways to cultivate the divine habit of discernment to kill the practice of judgment. Also, a secret ingredient will be revealed to expedite discernment in the soul, bringing it into a healthy existence where everyone is blessed. 

Many Christians believe life is about living in this hell and surviving it until the next life, God's Kingdom. Wrong! God's Kingdom exists now through the Way, Truth, and Life of Jesus, allowing people to thrive in God's Reality in the present. This week's message, "Religious People Want Out of Hell; Spiritual People Don't Want To Return To Hell," will share the resolve of gnashing of teeth in the faith and what it means to live a redeemed life in the here and now.

Like Easter eggs filled with treasures for children, the empty tomb of Jesus gives hope for a fulfilled and fruitful life. This week's message, Religious People Grow Leaves: Spiritual people Produce Fruit, shares the expectancy of Jesus and how it feeds the soul to produce the Fruit of life where all enjoy its treasures. It will also show how people produce leaves rather than Fruit when King Jesus gets us, but we don't get him.

Belief plus actions equals faith! This week's message, "Religious People Go to Church; Spiritual People Belong to Church," will show how dividing the faith formula (belief + action) results in half of a faith where people go to church rather than belong to it. Also, it will show how to solve the problem of understanding that Christianity is not just another religion but a truth about absolute reality—a fact where people "get to" say, "I'm Lovin' It!"
