Looking Deeper Into Our Church
What makes a church different than a lecture hall? Chuck Swindoll addresses that question in this message.
Strengthening Your Grip on Involvement
Itʼs a bit dismaying to realize that you’re going to be spending eternity with people in the family of God you don’t even speak with on earth! Quite frankly, when someone has wounded us with his or her sharp quills, it’s natural to want to keep our distance. But we do need each other, needles and all!
Assimilation
A sermon will not meet our needs—we need someone to hear, someone to feel the blows in our life, someone to help us cushion the heavy weight when it drops down on us. We need to assimilate into the body of Christ.
Conforming or Transforming
The word rendered “transform,” metamorphoo, means “to be changed from one thing into another.” This Greek word is transliterated to render the English word metamorphosis.
A Compelling Commitment
In this message on Romans 12:1–2, Pastor Chuck Swindoll urges believers to follow Paul’s command to offer themselves as living sacrifices to God. What does that mean? How can we find meaning and purpose through obedience to God’s will? Let’s find out!
Colour-Blind
Prejudice is a learned trait, but it can be unlearned. It takes a renewed mind to remove the blinders of prejudice and see people for who they are...instead of what they look like.
Retaliation
We’re all tempted to get even when we’ve been wronged; our natural reaction is to retaliate. However, a better response extends grace. It not only demonstrates self-control but it shows you don’t take your cues from how the world would respond—but rather from what God wants you to do.
Five Tips for Processing Change
God has wired us to find comfort, security, and identity in the familiar, the routine, our customs and traditions. Losing them or changing them can throw us off balance and that’s uncomfortable.
Beyond the Broadcast: Looking Deeper into Our Church
Romans 12:14-21 paints a picture of the church using peace as his base colour with pronounced shades of humility and blessing.
