2 Corinthians 2:5-11“Should I JUDGE People?” (REAL Confrontation) is the title for this first week in this sermon series. That word “judge” brings a lot of different emotions as I have found myself thinking, “Ugh, are they judging me?” And I have certainly been guilty of wrongly judging others. The scripture passage that we are going to camp on today speaks about rightly judging others, extending ...  Read More

1 Corinthians 5:12-13Sadly, the line between culture and church has become blurred. The church has somehow taken on the responsibility of trying to adapt culture into the church…which is the exact opposite of how things should be.

They are best friends but also sworn enemies, as any natural sister groups are. Lately, my oldest has been pointing o...  Read More

Matthew 7:1-2 Why is it so easy to judge others but not ourselves?What do you think it means to judge someone in a Biblical context?Judging others comes down to a very tricky balance. We are supposed to hold other believers accountable for their actions. However, we often do this with hearts of judgment instead of love. We easily point out the sin in others and ignore our own. We should not be loo...  Read More
