Black, White, and Shades of Gray

Right in the Eye, Part 1

October 2, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Judges 20:1, Judges 21:25, Judges 19:22–30

Give

There’s an unstated part of the American dream. It goes like this: “We have the freedom to do what we want, when we want, with whom we want, and nobody can tell us what to do…as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody.” But what if life doesn’t work that way? What if you can’t do what’s right in your own eyes without eventually hurting someone?

Extraordinary

October 30, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Romans 8:31–32, Judges 6:1–16

What kind of person do you want to be? When people have to stand and talk about you when you’re gone, what do you want them to say? Do you realize that’s up to you? What if you decided to be—extraordinary?

Nobody's That Stupid

October 23, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Judges 21:25, Judges 14:1–3, Judges 16:4–21, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

Chances are your greatest regret can be traced back to a decision where your body wanted something that your heart knew was wrong. An appetite was raging. You saw something or someone you wanted—even though he, she, or it wasn’t healthy for you. But you gave in to your body anyway. You yielded to the little kings that want to replace the Creator King who calls you to live from the inside out. What do you do when your body wants what your heart knows is wrong?

Like Everybody Else

October 16, 2016 • Chris Edmondson • Judges 21:25, Joshua 23:12–13, Joshua 24:23, Psalm 119:35–37

You think you want to be like everybody else. But everybody else takes their cues from everybody else. Being like everybody else just makes you average—worried, in debt, bored, and dissatisfied with what you have. If you knew that living like everybody else on the outside would leave you feeling like this on the inside, you would have done what you suspected was right in your heart instead of doing what was right in your own eyes.
