No Offense
Bitterness
March 20, 2022 • Ephesians 4:17–32, Hebrews 12:14–15, 1 John 2:7–11, Isaiah 5:20
Bitterness is a kind of darkness that grows slowly within us. And if it goes unchecked over time, it can completely consume us. It’s a destroyer of our souls and our relationships. And it holds onto the past. While others move on - while the world around us moves on - we’re still stuck. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Forgiveness
March 13, 2022 • Brian C. Hughes
In the shared human experience, we sometimes hurt each other, even if it’s unintentional. Sometimes that hurt breaks through the thick skin of the less offendable character that you’ve worked hard to acquire. When this happens, there’s another tool at our fingertips—one that’s the hardest for many people to extend—forgiveness.
I Could Be Wrong
March 6, 2022 • Brian C. Hughes • 1 Corinthians 13:1–7, Jeremiah 5:22, Romans 3:23–24, Colossians 3:13, John 13:33–35
The world we live in today is one of constant comparison. And continuous arguing. All in an effort to make a clear dividing line between the right and the wrong. So, could you be wrong? What if being “right” wins the battle, loses the war? Join Pastor Brian for a look at right, wrong, and what Jesus is truly calling us toward.
Stop Being So Offendable
February 27, 2022 • Brian C. Hughes • 2 Timothy 3:2–4, James 1:19–20, Colossians 4:2–6, John 8:7–11, Matthew 22:37–39
Who doesn’t long for a community where we can have different points of view, and still end our debates as friends? What would the world be like if there was more kinship and less hatred? More valuing and less demonizing? More lifting up and less putting down? Join Senior Pastor Brian C. Hughes for the first message in the NO OFFENSE series, as he looks at the Bible’s guidance on being less “offendable.”
