Just Leaves
March 22, 2014 04:00 - 26 minutes - 12.4 MBWe conclude "Losing My Religion" by considering the lesson of the figless fig tree. It appeared to be a perfectly healthy fig tree, green and lots of leaves, but it had no fruit. This tree was a great irritant to Jesus and He used it as an example of the futility of religion. Religion has a perfectly fine outward appearance, but the reality is that often it has very little meaningful substance. It might look like it is "of God", but truth is it's man-made. Thus, sometimes we need to "los...
How To Lose Your Religion
March 15, 2014 04:00 - 29 minutes - 13.3 MB"Losing My Religion" continues this weekend with a look at Luke 15 where religious activity and a personal relationship with God collide head-on in the story of the Prodigal Son. We see a repentant sinner, a loving God and an unforgiving religious person all play their roles in this classic parable. Jesus makes it clear that the party takes place when repentance and grace meet and that self-righteous people will always miss the party. If you are religious, you don't think you need a redeem...

Traps of Religion
March 08, 2014 05:00 - 28 minutes - 13 MBThis weekend, we will consider how easy it is for us to fall into the trap of religion, rituals and rules. So often, we simply go through the motions and never consider why we do what we do. Our faith can become performance-driven and lose it's focus. In Matthew 12, Jesus is questioned about his lack of adherence to the religious laws of the day and his answer is simply, "My Father values mercy over sacrifice." Thus, we learn what matters to God, mercy, grace, forgiveness, compassion, and...

Tower to Heaven
March 02, 2014 05:00 - 29 minutes - 13.5 MBThis weekend, we begin a brand new series entitled, "Losing My Religion". We will explore the positive value of trading your religion for a relationship with Jesus Christ. Beginning at the Tower of Babel, mankind commenced on a journey to reach to Heaven, to see God and to understand Him, to earn His favor. But, we never succeeded. We were never wise enough, moral enough or RELIGIOUS enough. Thus, God determined to visit us. To become one of us, He gave us the opportunity to trade our "...

Hosea & Gomer
February 23, 2014 05:00 - 23 minutes - 10.8 MBA beautiful story of love, forgiveness and redemption is found in the prophetic writings of Hosea.

Abraham & Sarah
February 15, 2014 05:00 - 38 minutes - 17.5 MBIt is very easy to waver in our faith. Sometimes, it seems that our doubts are greater than our assurances and that our fear overwhelms our faith. Thus, it is comforting to know that Abraham, who is scripturally synonymous with the word faith, had a few struggles himself. After God told he and Sarah that they were going to become parents at extremely advanced ages, there was more doubt than faith. Matter of fact, they laughed out loud (LOL). So, even the most faithful among us have faith...

Ahab & Jezebel
February 08, 2014 05:00 - 19 minutes - 8.85 MBWe begin this weekend with one of the most unique couples found in scripture, King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. Their relationship was like fire and ice. It seems like they did everything backwards and against the will of God. As a result, they suffered the ultimate punishment. Look at 1 Kings 21 for the details. You will find proof positive that the wrong relationship or a relationship with the wrong person will literally destroy you. If you are struggling through a difficult time in your r...
