No *Big Deal

Little, White Lies

May 7, 2023 • Pastor Chad Garrison

There's nothing little about lying. Lying divides our wholeness, erodes our integrity and steals our identity. We allow certain habits to help us deal with life, but sometimes these bad habits can become part of our identity. It’s time to separate ourselves from these 'necessary' habits and recognize them for what they really are: sins. And these sins are a bigger deal than we give them credit for. QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD: 1. Take time and identify the root behind how you completed this statement: “I LIE BECAUSE _____________.” 2. What do you need to get honest about? What is your next step(s) in finding freedom and healing 3. Read Psalm 34: How does reading this encourage you and speak truth to who God says you are vs. the lies of the enemy?

Caught in a Chokehold

May 14, 2023 • Pastor Lindsay Garrison • Matthew 6:25–26, Luke 21:34

Worry is a trap. It is the thing we think gives us control, yet ultimately ends up controlling us. We allow certain habits to help us deal with life, but sometimes these bad habits can become part of our identity. It’s time to separate ourselves from these 'necessary' habits and recognize them for what they really are: sins. And these sins are a bigger deal than we give them credit for. QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD: 1. What areas of your life are you prone to worry about? 2. How can you experience more of God's love in that area? 3. What would it look like to surrender to God in that space?

Jesus Didn't Call Shotgun

Pride is a tricky thing, especially in today’s culture, but if we are full of ourselves, then we have left no room for God. We allow certain habits to help us deal with life, but sometimes these bad habits can become part of our identity. It’s time to separate ourselves from these 'necessary' habits and recognize them for what they really are: sins. And these sins are a bigger deal than we give them credit for. QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD: 1. How does pride most commonly show up in you and your actions? 2. How do you see God bringing awareness to your pride, and what is your response? 3. What does it look like for you practically to “Think Empty” in order for you to be filled by God’s Grace?

Never Too Much

May 28, 2023 • Pastor Chad Garrison

A gluttonous life reveals a disordered heart, and that’s a bigger deal than you might think. We allow certain habits to help us deal with life, but sometimes these bad habits can become part of our identity. It’s time to separate ourselves from these 'necessary' habits and recognize them for what they really are: sins. And these sins are a bigger deal than we give them credit for. QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD: 1. Spend some time in thought and prayer with the questions from today’s message: 2. When I Self-Indulge, It’s With _____________. 3. What’s Really Behind My Self-Indulgence? 4. Don’t do this alone! Who can you talk to about your answers for support, accountability and prayer? How soon will you reach out?
