Stories That Change Everything, Part 3

June 12, 2022 • CJ Gonzalez • Luke 10:25–37

Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves. But that’s easier said than done. Which people qualify as neighbors, and which don’t? How far does our responsibility to others extend? If we make the effort to move toward the messes in other people’s lives, how inconvenient is too inconvenient? How unsafe is too unsafe? How dangerous is too dangerous? What are the limits to loving others as we love ourselves?
THE BIG IDEA: God cares more about their eternity than your need to be right.

Forgiven

July 10, 2022 • Chris Edmondson • Matthew 18:21–35, Hebrews 12:15, Matthew 6:14–15, Matthew 5:44, 1 Corinthians 13:5

We all want forgiveness, but we're not always eager to give it out. And for some of us, there are some very big hurts that have a grip on our lives. Even the very memory of those things brings up the emotions as fresh as they were when they were new. So how do you move on? How do you push past something where you can finally release it? BIG IDEA: When we don’t forgive, it poisons us and poisons our relationships.

July 3, 2022 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Luke 14:1–11

Christianity is not a merit system–we are saved by grace through faith. Jesus tells a story about a religious fanatic and the Messy Christian. As we will see, if you compare yourself to others, you will always find someone you think you are doing better than. But when we compare yourself to Jesus? You will find yourself humbled quickly. BIG IDEA: Humility is all about who you are looking at.

A Life Well Built

Many Christians are like poor photographs—overexposed and under-developed. They’ve had plenty of exposure to the light of God’s Word. Yet what difference has it made in their lives? THE BIG IDEA: Spiritual depth is not measured by IQ but, “I do.”
