We all know that gluttony involves overeating, right? Actually, it's all about EXCESS... about our natural tendency to crave "more!" This week we look at this curious deadly sin, in an attempt to better be able to practice "righteousness," those things that God so desperately cares about! John 12:1-8 is our text.

In Matthew 5, Jesus cautioned that anyone who has lusted has "committed adultery in their heart." Ouch. Who hasn't? So how do we, as people of faith, wrestle with and counter this deadly sin? Join us for the latest installment in ANTIDOTE: COUNTERING THE 7 DEADLY SINS as we tackle the tough subject of lust.

We live in a culture where greed abounds. It's hard not to want "more," isn't it? While we may not think of ourselves as "greedy," we might be surprised to see how much this deadly sin seeps into our lives. Our antidote: "Blessed are the merciful!"

It may be surprising to find out that sloth is NOT "laziness." Instead, this deadly sin pulls us away from being all that God has called us to be, by settling for "less than." With sloth, we intentionally don't love God with all we have. How can we prevent this? By "hungering and thirsting for righteousness." 2 Peter 1:3-11 is our text.

Envy is the only one of the "deadly" sins that leads to nothing but pain for the one who invokes it. Why is envy so enticing to us? And how can Jesus' statement, "Blessed are those who mourn" be the antidote? Matthew 20:1-16 is our text.

The 7 Deadly Sins are issues that we all struggle with over the course of our lives. But Jesus offered us an ANTIDOTE to these sins: The Beattitudes. We begin by looking at the issue of PRIDE, and how being "poor in spirit" can help counter this deadly sin. Matthew 5:1-12 is our text

We begin the New Year with a look at Jesus' baptism... and how that impacts not only our lives, but our walk with Christ. Matthew 3:13-17 is our text.

There's only one story about Jesus when he was a youth. He got "left" back at the Temple when his family returned home from a religious festival. What can we learn from this lone adolescent incident of Jesus? Luke 2:41-52 is our text.

What do you want for Christmas? What do you REALLY want? From the 2013 WestJet "Christmas Miracle" video... to Sandra Bullock in "Miss Congeniality"... to Simeon in the Temple in Jerusalem. How might the gift of Jesus change everything?
