We've all done it. We compare ourselves to one person and feel quite superior, or we compare ourselves to another and instantly feel like a failure. It's a very ugly cycle to get into, and one that God never intended. Comparing ourselves to others is never going to give us the right image of who we are: nor is it going to allow us to see God as He is. Learn what it looks like to see and be seen through the eyes of grace with the sermon, "Who Is Right?"

Let's be honest. When it comes right down to it, a lie is a lie- whether it's a "little white lie" or a "big fat" lie. The same goes with good stewardship. The Bible teaches that how we manage the little things is a direct indicator of how we will manage the big things. God looks at how we steward even the smallest things entrusted to us. Learn how to be a good steward of earthly things so that God can entrust you with "true riches".

Times have changed. There's no doubt about it. Our culture has gotten a lot better in some ways. But in others, not so much. When it comes to getting involved, getting our hands dirty, and sharing our resources with those in need, we often turn our backs and walks away- all the while rationalizing our decision. But Jesus taught us a different way. Find out what He really intended us to see as we look at the needs of others.

If you've gone to church very long, you've heard the parable of the prodigal son. And, though the focus has likely been on the son that left home, we need to take a closer look at both the son who stayed and the father who loved them. Each son had a big problem. One was unrighteous and the other was self-righteous. But the father loved them both. Don't Miss the real key to this story, the father's love!

Our culture places a great deal of importance on the word "tolerance". What they are really saying is to "live and let live". As Christians, we must be truly cautious that we don't allow the beliefs of our culture to override the command of our Savior. Are we to love everyone and allow them to make their own decisions?Absolutely! That is exactly how God treats us. But His Word also directs us to share the truth of His Kingdom with the world.

God intended for the human race to live in a perfect world, and they did before sin interrupted His plan. But His plan has never changed. God will restore His children to a restored world where we will live forever. But the best part is that we will be living with Him. Even though He is present with us now, we can only see Him and hear Him by faith. The time is coming where we will actually live and walk in His presence.

We may look at our own sin and think it's not so bad compared to the sins of someone else. Jesus knew we would think this way, and He didn't grade sins the way we do. In fact, He didn't grade them at all. Sin is sin and, big or small in our eyes, they all separate us from God. But there is good news. There's a way back into fellowship with our Heavenly Father, and Jesus removed that barrier once and for all.

Adam and Eve were living the dream. Every single thing in their lives was perfect- God's absolute for them. They had perfect peace, every need was met, they were completely fulfilled in every way. But then the serpent spoke, and the choice to entertain what he had to say cost them everything. What they did then is what we do today, and it costs us our peace, our joy, and our fulfillment. Who are you listening to?

God thought of everything before He created Adam and Eve. He created the perfect place for them to live, full of everything they would ever need. He even gave them a special purpose. But it's clear that the best part of His plan was that they could fellowship with Him - In Person- every single day. When we look around, it's easy to forget what God had in mind in the very beginning. But we need to rediscover His original plan.
