The 2 Greatest

Here's the truth...we're all contagious with something.  The question is, are we contagious with the things of Christ?

No matter how "good" or "bad" our past days have been--they are over.  Learn but not live there.  Move with God into the future by living in the present.  God is doing something new and he wants YOU to be part of it.  You'll miss it, if you're stuck in yesterday.

How do you know what kind of person the future you will be like?  Well...show me your friends, and I'll show you your future!

IF the New Testament has been changed over the years so that we have no idea what the original authors wrote, that would be a BIG problem for Christianity.  The Good New is the NT is totally trustworthy and WE CAN PROVE IT!

What do you think of when you hear the word "holiness?"  You're probably right, but there's also more.  Let's go deeper.

Oh the pain of saying something you immediately regret, but....you can't take it back!

What is a "doxology" and how can we declare one today?

Modern Christianity is WAY to individualized.  Jesus never meant for us to do this alone.  He didn't just save individuals, he created A FAMILY!

You are NOT alone.  Others HAVE been where you are and they made it...you can too!

"When were you saved?" That's a common question among Christians, but that's not how the Bible talks about salvation.  Listen in!

Bible "heroes" are not really "heroes."  They are fallen people in need of grace just like us.  THEY aren't the point of the story--but they point us to the One who is.

Everyone wants to focus on the BIG EXTERNAL sins.  But what if the greatest danger to our soul is really the silent soul killers?

Ready or not death is coming for you and your loved ones.  And you WILL grieve.  The only question is HOW.

You can tell when someone is different from others in the area.  It might be their accent or their clothes or something else.  But Jesus and Paul had something very specific in mind.

People tend to believe one way to God is good as another?  What did Jesus say about that?

If you want to change something about yourself, you know improve, how do you do it?  Let me tell you what DOESN'T work...willpower.  Now, listen today, and let's see what does work!

I want to be blessed, don't you?  The Bible tells us how and it's probably NOT what you think.

The Bible becomes MUCH more enjoyable and understandable when you realize it's less like an instruction manual and more like a library!

Those we love have the power to hurt us the deepest.  But are there wounds from a friend we should welcome, cherish, even be thankful for.  YES!  Listen in!

Bitterness is a joy killer and love stopper, and a soul destroyer.  And there's only ONE cure.

You may feel unseen, unknown, unappreciated.  But GOD sees, knows, and will bless you for every ask of love you give, even if no one notices.

We all need to learn and practice the difference between "helping" and "enabling."  It's crucial to loving others well.  Sometimes helping is NOT helping!

Sometimes you meet a "Christian" and you think "Really?"  Other times you meet a Christian and you think "I KNEW it!"  The difference is closing the gap.

Class distinction is alive and well in airplane travel, but it should not be in the Kingdom of God.

When you're scrolling on your phone and the ads come up telling you their product is a must have for you to be content in your life...do you give in?  What if we asked WHY before we BUY?

God's beautiful creation is everywhere.  Enjoy it.  Appreciate it.  But let it point to to gratitude to the one who made it in the first place.

Sometimes the PLACE helps make the PERSON.  I think Assisi is one of those spots.

We are impatient people...God is not.  He's never in a hurry and never late and always playing the long game!

It's easy to be afraid of the dark as kids.  But kids aren't the only ones.  It's also easy to look at the world and believe it's only getting darker.  But in Jesus we don't have to be afraid of the dark!

How is your heart shaped?  Jesus doesn't leave us guessing, he tells us.  But we may not like it!

What does it mean to be "devoted" to something or someone?  Sometimes you see that lived out in a person's life in impressive ways.

We all can't do it all.  But there is one thing every human needs and every human can give.  And it's SOOOO T2G.

The Lord WILL bring his Word to your mind, just when you need it. But when He does--what are you going to do about it?

What parent hasn't been asked the question "are we there yet" while on a journey?  And what Christian hasn't looked at the world, wondered when the end is coming and asked it as well.  What will the end look like?  We don't have to wonder, Paul tells us, and it's probably not what you're thinking!

We are ALL Peter and we must deal with our Pan.

Even a silly old bear can teach us about T2G and compassion that = action!

We all guard what is most valuable.  Did you know God has guards too?

Does a Christian look like someone who is always at church or constantly reading the Bible or who doesn't do a bunch of stuff?  Or is there a better way?  Let's let ONE verse instruct us today on what a Christian looks like!

Where did Cain get his wife?  Who were the Nephilim?  How are women saved "through childbirth?"  There are a lot of Bible mysteries.  But the greatest mystery is already known.  Let's not major on minors but major on what Jesus said is major.

Are you ever impatient with God?  Is God moving too slow for you?  Have you ever decided to take matters into your own hands?  If so, this episode is for you!

Your "soul" in not some ghost inside you that floats to heaven when you die.  Your SOUL is very active in this life as well.  So what does it mean to love God with all of our "soul?"

It's so easy to see people and things as the world does and miss the true value the Lord sees.  God give us eyes to see what you see and the heart to love accordingly.

If you haven't noticed the family is shrinking.  More and more people are choosing to not have children.  That fact has huge implications for society AND the church.  It's time we paid attention and responded with the love of the Lord.

All of us who have loved our furry friends desperately want the answer to be YES!  But what does the Bible say or NOT say?  Let's look closer.

A lot of us know a lot about the Bible.  But that's not what it's all about.  It's about Walkin the Talkin.

Revelation is the book people fight over most, but God never ment for it to be that way.  Revelation wasn't written to frighten us; it was written to steady us for times just like we see in the news today.

Whether it's being chosen for a job, a team or a marriage partner--there's something special about being chosen.  Have you fully grasped the truth that the God of the universe has chosen YOU in Jesus?

It's easy to convince ourselves that our actions have no consequences or that are sins don't really hurt anyone.  But we are all connected and we do reap what we sow.  Maybe grandpa's payback will give us a new perspective.

Did Paul write an uninspired letters?  Are we missing important books that should be in the Bible? Is everything Paul wrote inspired?  And what does this say about the trustworthiness of the Scriptures?

Why do people regularly frequent the neighborhood bar?  It has to be more than the alcohol, they could drink at home.  Something else is going on here and the church should learn the lesson from the neighborhood bar.
