Starve the Monster
Starving the Monster of Entitlement
Defeat the Monster
November 22, 2015 • Chris Edmondson • 1 Timothy 6:17–19
It’s one thing to battle the monster, but how do you defeat him? A lot of the battle goes on in your mind. And it goes on in your bank account. So is defeat possible? Yes, although the answer may surprise you and even discourage you before it liberates you.
Little Monsters
November 15, 2015 • Chris Edmondson • Proverbs 16:25–26
So you’re battling entitlement in you, but you’re also trying to fight it in your kids. Nobody likes an entitled, ungrateful child. But practically, in a culture that has so much, how do you raise kids who are truly grateful? This week, we’ll uncover an important principle from scripture and practically apply it to raising kids today.
Overvalued Monster
November 8, 2015 • Chris Edmondson • Matthew 13:44–46
What do you value? And more importantly, why do you value it? Often, the belief that what you’re pursuing has greater value than what you have drives the sense of entitlement most of us feel. But what if the monster has caused you to overvalue what you’re chasing?
Friends With the Monster
November 1, 2015 • Chris Edmondson • Ecclesiastes 5:10–11
When is enough…enough? You take a little more each time, but you still don’t feel satisfied. Enough always seems to be changing, doesn’t it? Why is that? Maybe it’s because you’re friends with the monster. Understanding how the monster works is the first step toward containing it.
