What’s one thing we all have in common?

Doubt.

You and I doubt what we don’t know.

You and I doubt what we can’t see.

You and I doubt what we haven’t experienced.

What are you doubting right now?

When it comes to faith in a God who loves you – what holds you back?  What makes you turn around and go the other way?

Why do you doubt that there could be a God who created you, loves you and wants to know you?

Bring your doubts this Sunday, there’s a question Jesus asked that has the power to help you overcome them.  It could be the start of something awesome.

The N Commandments — Part 5 — Judge Not | Andy Stanley

You’ve been there, you’ve felt judged. Someone didn’t get you. Someone didn’t like you. So you think, “who cares? Who are they, anyway?”  And you judge them right back.

You’ve probably even heard one of the most quoted Bible verses of all time: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”  – Matthew 7:1

So it should be simple, right?  Everybody quit it.  Everybody stop judging.

But what happens when the rubber hits the road… when your sister is about to do something you can see will destroy her.  When your spouse has habits that are hurting your family.  When your best friend is about to make the worst decision of his or her life.  When your co-worker is financially corrupting your organization.

What then?

Or even more extreme, can we judge someone for their sexual appetite of the porn industry and sex slavery? What if they think they are most attracted to kids? What about polygamy? Where do we draw the line? Where does judgment stop?

Join us for the conversation this Sunday and bring a friend with you.  Because it might not be as simple as “judge not.”

Actually, it’s far, far better.

The N Commandments — Part 4 — Worry Not | Andy Stanley

Calling all worriers.  What makes your worry?  Why?

Ever try to figure out how to stop? If you’re like most of us, you know that worrying doesn’t change anything – but you can’t help it.

Knowing something doesn’t always change how you feel about something.

Try to imagine for a moment a life free from worry.  No, really.  Imagine it.  Imagine not carrying worry around.  What would that freedom be like?  Better yet, what would you be like with that freedom?

Believe it or not, Jesus said it’s possible.  Not only is it possible, Jesus encourages it.

But, why would he do that?  And how?

You might be surprised.

Join us for the conversation this Sunday and bring a friend with you.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “sin?” It’s almost taboo these days.

We don’t sin. We make mistakes. Right?

But maybe the way our culture views sin has been skewed somehow.  Why?  Where did the word sin come from, why do we do it, why does God care?

Whether you and I believe sin impacts us today or not – that perspective impacts your life.

Join us Sunday to unpack the history of sin, it’s impact in our world today, and why any of it even matters in the first place.
