This series through Ruth deals with the relationship between Ruth and the time of the Judges and how the book of Ruth reveals many character traits that are important for one to be light in the midst of darkness. This first sermon looks at Ruth 1:1-14 and Naomi's experience up to her departure from Moab, including her conversation with her daughters in law upon departure. The character trait demonstrated is Loyalty.

Apathy is a tricky burden. It can develop out of circumstances at very opposite ends of the spectrum. It is also a deadly weight to both the individual Christian and the corporate body.

The new series addresses those weights (Hebrews 12:1) that would hinder us from possessing and walking in the faith we are called to have as Christians. This first message looks at the central element of our faith and therefore the central weight to deal with when it goes bad - theology. Looking at Hebrews and 1 Timothy, the message examines what bad theology can do to you, what getting rid of bad theology can do for you, and how to identify bad theology without becoming a theological snob.

Finishing up the series on dealing with change, this message looks at how believers should respond to a culture that is changing around them. How do we choose to distinguish ourselves? The book of Daniel gives us some insights.
