• This Week: 1 Corinthians 10:13 is often taken out of context for this Fake News phrase. Compare this phrase with 2 Corinthians 1:8:11. God often gives us way more than we can handle… so that we stop relying on ourselves and rely on God instead!

• This Week: Many people use Matthew 7:1 in an attempt to silence their critics, interpreting Jesus’ meaning as “You don’t have the right to tell me I’m wrong.” Taken in isolation, Jesus’ command “Do not judge” does indeed seem to preclude all negative assessments. However, there is much more to the passage than those three words.
Key Phrase: “But instead, judge correctly.” John 7:24

• This Series: Each of us has unresolved issues that we carry around. In a word, it’s called baggage. Although you do your best to ignore it, conceal it, or fake it, your baggage burdens your life while slowly squeezing out hope for your future. Before passing your baggage on to your children, let’s unpack this dead weight so you can begin living a life of freedom that God desires for you.
• This Week: Fathers provide the foundation of security and significance in our life. However, if this foundation is broken, absent, or in great need of repair, the father wound impacts every area and every relationship in our life. Deep down in the crevices of our soul, whether we realize it or not, our father is who we need, who we long for, and who we crave for love and acceptance from in our life. The good news, it’s never too late to experience freedom from this baggage. Even if your father has died, God can heal this deep wound in ways no human can.
Key Phrase: “He will turn the hearts of the father to their children…” Malachi 4:6
