Misquoted | An Eye for an Eye

The phrase "an eye for an eye" is often misunderstood as permission for revenge. However, in the Bible, it actually sets limits on retaliation. And Jesus takes this further in the Sermon on the Mount, calling us to "turn the other cheek," challenges us to respond with love, just as God loves us, even when we're hurt or offended.

Misquoted | Don't Judge

One of the most commonly quoted verses in the Bible is Matthew 7:1, which says, "Don't judge." But when we take a closer look at this verse, we'll find that Jesus isn't saying we should never hold other people accountable. Instead, Jesus calls us to evaluate our own actions and attitudes first. Before pointing out others' faults, we must examine our own lives.

Misquoted | I Can Do All Things

We often misquote Philippians 4:13, thinking it's about achieving greatness through Christ's strength. But when we take a closer look at what Paul writes, we discover this verse isn't about becoming superhuman; it's about finding strength in God during tough times. So Philippians 4:13 isn't a motivational quote, it's a promise that God is always with us and will help us make it through.

Run the Race | The Worst Days

Even though the Olympics showcase incredible athletic achievements, there are also stories of disappointment and failure. Similarly, in life, we all face difficult days and moments of doubt. As we run the race of life, we must remember that God is there to support and guide us through our struggles.

Run the Race | Don't Quit

Even though the athletes competing at this year's Olympics are some of the greatest athletes in the world, that doesn't mean they don't have their struggles. And there are times when we all struggle too. But when we have moments in life when we feel like giving up, we need to remember that we are stronger than we think.

Run the Race | Chasing What Matters

In the Olympics, athletes compete in events where the difference between winning and losing can come down to fractions of a second. Similarly, in the race of life, we want to make sure we're spending our limited time on things that really matter. In this sermon, we'll be reminded of what really matters...and that's chasing after God.

Jonah | Pick A Side

When Nineveh repents, you'd think Jonah would be thrilled. Instead, he's angry that God showed mercy to his enemies. How often do we feel the same way? This sermon explores the tension between our desire for justice and God's heart of compassion. It challenges us to see people as God sees them - not as enemies to be punished, but as children to be loved. Whose side are we really on - our own, or God's?

Jonah | Representing God

When Jonah finally arrives in Nineveh he preaches a half-hearted sermon that is exactly nine words long. As representatives of God, are we sometimes just as half-hearted in our obedience? This sermon challenges us to examine how we're representing Jesus in our daily lives and interactions. Are we truly reflecting God's heart for the world, or are we, like Jonah, just going through the motions?
