Pastor's Sermon Series, Audio Study Guide, Northwood Baptist Church

Sin is destructive. What happens when gross sin infects and infiltrates the church? You deal with it. Here's how.

Serving is for the lowest person in the room, right? At least that people would want to make you think. But as mature believers, we are called to serve the Master. We serve the Master by serving Him and serving others. Not for anything we can get out of it, but so that we can give Him pleasure. Choose the life of service starting today.

When we build, we build with a foundation that is strong. The church also needs to ber built on a solid foundation, but not with building materials, but with gold, silver, and precious jewels. Those precious things that are precious to God. Today, we share what that looks like in a New Testament, Christ-like church.

Maturity is just knowing a bunch of stuff. Too often we assume that if someone is smart, they're wise and mature. In the world's eyes, that may be true, but in God's eyes, it's much different. Listen today to find out what God tells us maturity is.

What the world thinks is foolish and stupid and ordinary, God does not. To be a fool in the world's eyes is to be exactly where God wants you. It can happen for you if you will let God do it for you. Relying on yourself is destructive to everything God has for you.

Too often we let things that don't matter take our eyes off the things that do matter. Jesus, His mission and His Gospel are what matter most. It's not all the other stuff we think are so important. Here's what it look like to follow Him in unity

Most of the time, we are ot as wise as we think we are. Proverbs helps us by letting us know where we need help. By asking the right questions and making a commitment to God and His Word, we can grow in wisdom. That's a real place you can find yourself.

We are told nearly everyday that money is the root of all evil. While people quote that is a bible verse, it's not true. It is when we love money that we we move into idolatry. If that is the case, does God have a plan for the money He has given me in my life? Yes, He does. And it is good!

This world and it's way of thinking and living attacks the Christ-follower daily. We must all stand on the Bible and live it out if we are to experience our families not just surviving, but thriving. It's your choice, the destructive road of the world or the life-giving path to Jesus and eternal life. Let's live wisely!
