Mark 8:14-21 Who are you? And what stories make up the traditions and tales within your family? We all have things that shape us and make us who we are. But what if some of those histories, some of those beliefs, are wrong? What if they are slightly off, or maybe uninformed?

Matthew 5:38-48 Think about your "natural" response to pain, or sorrow, or disappointment, or anger. Now think about whether or not this is how you believe Jesus would have you to respond. Much of how God calls us to live is not "natural" to our human desires. That's why we need God's Spirit, and the super-natural grace to become new creations. Listen and download here:

Leviticus 19:2 Leviticus has one overall theme: be holy, as God is holy.

Be holy. It's God's will for your life. Listen and download here:
Matthew 5:38-48 It's hard to find anything in the news today that doesn't feed or play into people's fears. But not all fear is bad.

Leviticus 23:2 My youngest son recently had a birthday and we celebrated. Most of us tend to do that on special occasions. But have you ever wondered why we wait until once every 365 days to pour special attention on others? Why don't we celebrate more than we do, regardless of the reason? The Bible is full of encouragement to party. May we do so with the joy of the Lord! Listen and download here:
