Man-made Religion

Mike Sullivan

Mark 7:1-23

Ritualistic, man-made rule following does nothing to improve our righteousness before God because it does not address our most pressing problem. Our fallen, sinful nature must be addressed not by outward demonstrations but by an inward renewing of our heart that only Jesus can bring about.

Spiritual Brokenness

James Rochford

John 12:12-36

In order for a kernel of wheat to bear fruit, it must fall to the ground and die. It needs to be broken open. So too, do followers of Jesus need to be broken to bear fruit. Jesus uses the difficult circumstances that come into our lives to break our outer selves to let the light of Jesus to shine through.

James Rochford

John 1:19-37

Some people think humility is being weak, shy, timid or putting yourself down but that is not biblical humility. By studying John the Baptist we can answer these three questions about humility. What is humility? Why would we want humility? How do we learn humility?

John the Baptist

Brian Adams

John 1:19-37

John the Baptist testified that he was not the Messiah but that he was paving the way for Him. He cultivated a lifestyle of humility by never trying to any fame for being the Messiah's announcer. We can cultivate a mindset of humility by thanking God for who He is, by learning what God says about us, and considering how to serve others.

The Pharisee and the Publican

Patrice McCormac

Luke 18:9-14

While the Pharisee exalted himself, the tax collector humbled himself before God and was declared righteous. Pride ignored prevents us from experiencing God's love and care. Pride leads to exalting oneself which leads to being painfully humbled, but humbling oneself leads to being exalted by God.
