Situations & Solutions

There’s a lot of meaningless talk out there. Live out the main thing. Don’t let people get you focused on minor things. Major in the major. The Book of Titus teaches us well this very thing.

Our relationships are different with different people. Philemon is about the changes in his relationship with someone because of their new relationship with Jesus. As a disciple of Christ, there is something that far outweighs the importance of liking someone -- and that's loving someone because of the gospel.

You already have everything you need because you have a relationship with Christ. Don't let the world tell you any different and persuade you that you need more than Jesus. Paul's letter to the Colossian church addresses this specifically, providing the solution we need to hear and embrace.

Society has conformed Christians to its beliefs and ways. In Ephesians, Paul calls believers to conform to Christ. It is through what Christ did for us and our conformity to Him that we can successfully fight the powers that ultimately control society.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul writes about the church's lack of discernment between truth and lies, between true apostles and false apostle, between believers and unbelievers, between boasting about God and boasting about one's self, between people who do things for God and people who do things for themselves in the name of God.

God's love in Christ is the solution to divisions -- not any love, but God's love. This is not a love that can be practiced alone, but has to be practiced as the one Body of Christ. We need to live now in what will be our eternal state of existence.

What motivates you to doing what you need to do? What motivates you to keep busy taking care of your business? We need to deconstruct that in order to construct what God wants our work to be motivated by. Join Dr. Holder and Pastor Greg in this deep discussion and discover the truest way to fuel the work you do.

How do I live right? Or maybe the better question is how do I get myself to live right? Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 1 that your works is produced by faith, your labor is prompted by love, and your endurance is inspired by hope in Jesus. Faith, hope and love... That's the fuel that will get my life moving in the right direction each day. I can grow my faith, hope and love by looking forward to the return of Jesus.

Simply put -- your faith is enough. Profoundly proclaimed by Paul in his letter to the churches in the Roman occupied province called Galatia, faith is all you need to be a full part of the body of Christ. Full Stop. Don't let ANYONE add anything to the good news of Jesus. Your faith is enough because the Jesus is enough.

What do relationships and maturity have to do with each other? What kind of relationships does God want me to have with the people I'm supposed to be in relationship with? And where are these relationships supposed to take me?
