Jesus Focused Judging?
August 29, 2010 - Luke 6:37-42 "Judge Not Lest You Be Judged?" Haven't we all heard that verse quoted? Often it is quoted by those who are saying "get off my back, I want to do what I want." There are few passages of Scripture that are more well known, and more readily misquoted. Listen as we talk about this essential truth for a healthy church. How do we combat a judgmental and critical spirit while discerning what is right or wrong in each others lives?
Jesus Focused Love
August 22, 2010 - Luke 6:27-36
There are a few messages that are less popular and yet so needed in the church today. What does it mean to love my enemies? What if I don't want to love my enemies? What if I don't have what it takes? What if my enemies don't deserve to be loved? Why does this have any importance in my life? Jesus did not stutter on this subject, and He modeled it with a path of sacrifice and service.

How Did I Ever Find Myself Here?
August 15, 2010 - Guest Speaker: Steve Kellar.
We know that God wants us to be who we are, to do what we love to do and are called to do. There is no greater satisfaction and joy than that of doing what we are intended to do. Steve Keller, our NAB Regional Minister, looks at the 'Slips, stumbles, and surprises on the journey of faith with Father Abraham' featuring selected scriptures from the book of Genesis.

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
August 8, 2010 - 
Love is a simple four letter word with two vowels, two consonants, and one really hard concept to live up to. In Mark 12 Jesus said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus quoted that love commandment without qualification, without limitations, and without boundaries on the love.

One Prayer: Love
August 1, 2010 - "LOVE". Four letters, two vowels, and one really hard concept. John 13:34-35, Acts 1:8, and 1 John 4:7-8 tells "Believers" that our community sees what Jesus looks like by looking at us, God's people. I say we should give them a really long, good look. Let's live a life so powerful, so unsettling, so wonderful, so joyous, and so loving, that our lives wouldn't make sense...if our God did not exist.
In Mark 12:28, an old-time teacher of the law asked Jesus which one of all the commandments was the most important to follow. Jesus mentioned two commandments, one from Deuteronomy 6:5, and the other from Leviticus 19:18. Both had to do with love.
