More Than Enough

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

When you think about your time, money, and energy — does it seem like there’s never enough? Most of us would say so. We feel stretched so thin.

Jesus invites us to see the world in a different way — a way that gives us much-needed relief.

Stuck

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

There are certain places in all of our lives where we are stuck — and tempted to say, “That’s just the way I am and always will be; there’s no point in trying to change what cannot be changed.”

Think again! This sermon examines a dramatic Bible story that shows us how to achieve transformation in our places of greatest ’stuckness.’

Jerk!

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

It’s one of the most basic of all human impulses — to judge others.

We know judging others is bad because it hurts others. But have you ever thought about what judging others does to you? The Bible says the impact can be devastating.

That’s what this sermon explores — the impact of my judgments on me, and how to liberate myself from that way of thinking.

I Want It, and I Want It NOW!

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

This sermon looks at the example of Esau, who sold his birthright (a double portion of his father’s inheritance, plus family leadership rights) for a bowl of soup.

We’d never do something so stupid, right?

It’s so easy, though, to look only at how I feel now, and what I want NOW, and not even think about how this relates to my life and larger goals.

We’ll also look at Jesus’ example as the contrast to Esau, as we discover practical ways to gain better control of our impulses. Listen as we continue the Mastering Your Mind series.

Am I Coachable?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

One of the most important skills for successful living is being able to acknowledge mistakes and learn from them. But that’s painful. It’s much easier to just avoid it.

This week we’ll look at how to get better at practicing healthy introspection.

In this series, Mastering Your Mind, we’ll identify and root out the most common forms of distorted thinking that hold us back.
