  • Money Is the Root of All Evil
    Nov 17 2024

    Money matters! But how much? And how much does it matter to you? To God? For generations, people have said, “Money is the root of all evil.” Is that statement true? Does it come from the Bible? Today, we will ask and answer a few questions in order to get at the truth of all this. I think we will discover that money is a lot like fire—it’s an excellent servant, but a terrible master.


    I. Where Does it Come From?

    II. What Does it Mean?

    III. How Should We Live?


    Talk with God: Meditate on Matthew 22:37 and ask the Spirit to reveal areas of your life where you’ve allowed the love of money to take root.

    Talk with others: Ask a mentor or trusted believer if they’ve noticed any idols in your life recently.

    Talk with kids: What should we do if others make fun of us or are mean to us for sharing the gospel?

  • God Wants to Make You Happy
    Nov 10 2024

    Is God concerned with our own personal happiness? I’m going to say “Yes!” and “No!” Though the Bible does indeed talk about being happy, it’s not as straightforward as you may think. Allow me to unpack this idea through the lens of one of King David’s psalms, written while he was at war. Here, David explicitly wrote that God’s people are happy people. Let’s find out why.


    I. Because of Life's Conflict

    II. Because of our Commitment

    III. Because of God's Care

    IV. Because of God's Character


    Talk with God: Meditate on Psalm 144:2 and thank the Lord for His faithfulness as you “take refuge” in Him.

    Talk with others: Encourage a fellow believer to intentionally spend time in the Word and in prayer this week.

    Talk with kids: How can we be reminded that God loves us and cares for us?

  • Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness
    Nov 3 2024

    I have spent my entire ministry telling people what the Bible does say. In this series I have been telling you what it doesn’t say—that is, commonly used sayings that many have assumed were from Scripture but are not. Today we look at one that many a parent has quoted to a child, and teachers have quoted to their students. Our story in Mark 7 reveals three categories of cleanliness.


    I. Cleanliness Had Become External

    II. Cleanliness Was Seen as Eternal

    III. Cleanliness is Really Internal


    Talk with God: Prayerfully consider your relationship with the Lord. Have religious habits taken the place of an active, intimate connection?

    Talk with others: Ask a fellow believer how they stay focused on the Lord when life distracts them.

    Talk with kids: How does knowing that God has a plan help you face hard situations?
