He's My Neighbor?

Spiritual Friendships

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 18-20

Spiritual friendships are impossible if there is unbridled anger or envy present. Replace the fear underlying the anger and envy with service. If you are under attack from an angry person, first, get out of an unsafe situation. Then, try to do good and be humble, and let the situation fuel your prayer life. Spiritual friendships take initiative, encouragement plus affection, and sacrifice plus vulnerability.

We Want a King!

Scott Risley

1 Samuel 8-10

The calling of Saul can teach us important lessons in spiritual leadership. Servant leaders need to prepare ahead of their calling and must be willing to be different. God calls them to cling to these three truths of spiritual leadership: Listen to Me and I will supply all you need, these people are Mine, and I love you.

Patrice McCormac

Paul writes a letter to follow up his earlier visit to the Thessalonian church . He is pleased with Timothy's report of how they are doing but encourages them to excel still more in loving others.

Holy Sex

Lee Campbell

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

God's design for sex is for developing oneness with your spouse. Our culture instead, views sex as solely for satisfying personal pleasure. This attitude is destructive to others, to your relationship with God and to yourself. Use sex as God intended. It is a picture of God's nature and character.
