#71 - Jingle Bell Nah!

Remember the excitement you felt as a child as Christmas approached? As you get older and life inevitably happens, it’s easy to lose the excitement and wonder of Christmas. This week we ponder some things that may help with that.

#70 - Chri$tma$ Genero$ity

Many charities conduct fundraising campaigns around Christmas because people are more generous. Both non-church and churchy people tend to be more relaxed with their wallets. So are Christian giving and humanitarian generosity the same thing, or is there a difference between the two? How about the difference between generosity and sacrificial worship?

#69 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters. Pride.

We use the word pride in both positive and negative contexts. In a negative context, pride attributes honour where it isn't due. The Bible speaks about pride in a negative context a lot. That's because pride sets us on a collision course with destruction; unfortunately, the two are inseparable.

#67 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters: Respect your Elders.

Imagine the thing that you desire most in the world. Solomon says wisdom is more valuable than that, and you should "Get wisdom". You can get it the hard way through a lifetime of difficult experiences, or the easy way, respect your elders and listen to what they have to say.

#66 - Tis’ the season to be anxious and depressed.

It's that time of year when we eat, drink, spend too much, and have more debt to look forward to in the New Year. Some people love the holiday season, others not so much. This is for you if you are struggling with anxiety or depression. 

#65 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters. Sexual Morality.

This week we are talking about sexual morality. Sex is often treated as casual and inconsequential, but there's more to it than that, a lot more. Where and how should sex fit into our modern culture? How our culture views sex has the potential to benefit or harm you, your marriage and even society as a whole. What do you say if your partner asks you to move in together? Should you get married first? Does it even matter, or is marriage an outdated tradition that no longer holds any relevance in our contemporary society? Sexual desire is an excellent God-given desire, and how you exercise it matters. 

#64 - Aliens, Halloween and Alcohol

Aliens, Halloween and Alchohol, sounds like quite the party. Today we are looking at a few of the recently received questions. 

#63 - Do The Right Thing. Why Morality Matters. How a church deals with immorality in church.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or so the saying goes. But that’s not always the case in a church. Some things shouldn’t stay. This week we answer some questions and focus on how a local church should deal with immortality. If a church ignores sin among its members, division or dilution will soon follow. 

#62 - Do the Right Thing. Why Morality Matters, an introduction.

This week we begin a new series. We are talking about why morality matters practically. 

#47 Communicating His Story: Let’s Talk About Truth and Power

Today we look at one aspect of a life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
