The Power Of Your Words | James | Sticks and stones may break my bones but words _______ ______ ______ ______? Might hurt even more? Might stick with me forever? Define my worth? What is it about words that are so powerful? And why is it so hard to control the things that we say? We're talking about that this weekend!

Nobody wants to go through difficult seasons in life. We work hard to make life comfortable and when things do get rough, we get angry with God and wonder if He even cares what's happening to us. But what if the difficult times in life were less about what's happening TO us and more about what God wants to do IN us? How does God want us to look at the hard seasons of life?

If we are in a spiritual battle, do we have to deal with the attacks from the Enemy or is there a part for us to play in this battle? And if so, what is our role and what tools are at our disposal to fight? We're talking about that  in this message as we wrap up our series!

There is a battle being fought over your heart every day. A spiritual battle between God and the life He wants for you and the enemy who wants to destroy that life. If we are going to win, we need to know the tactics the enemy uses to fight against us and to keep us from the life God intended for us.

What if there was a whole side of reality that we often completely miss?

So maybe you've blown it in the past. And maybe you believe God will give you another chance even if you don't deserve it. But sometimes getting back on track with what God doesn't mean that our circumstances will all clear up at once. Is facing the music really worth it?

What does it take to become "great" in God's eyes? You might think it's knowing a lot of religious information or doing a lot more good than wrong. But the answer that Jesus gave on how to become great just might surprise you.

We all want to be generous people, but what does it really mean to be generous? Generosity isn’t simply doing what we should expect any decent human being to do. It’s doing MORE than what’s expected of any decent human being. But can you still be generous even if you don't have a lot of money to give away? And what would it cost us to be more generous in our lives?

Who would you think Jesus liked to spend time with? It might not be who you'd expect. Jesus often hung out with those that everyone else overlooked or ignored. If you're feeling disconnected from God and feel like you'd be the last person He would spend time with, this message is for YOU!

The Bible says that God has created us all with a purpose in mind and has a preferred life for us to live. But how do we know what that life is? How do we know if we are making the right decisions or if we are living out our purpose?

Have you ever known someone who is a very religious person, but not a very nice person? Or Christians who are supposed to stand for love, grace, and forgiveness, and are hypocritical, loveless, and bitter? Just because you KNOW the right things doesn’t mean you DO the right things. This week, we’re looking at three truth to help you keep your heart in the right place.
