Send us a text When we experience injustice, we will experience a mix of strong emotions. The most prevalent, the most DANGEROUS is ANGER. If we're going to deal with that anger in a healthy way, we can't keep it to ourselves. We MUST deal with it in the context of COMMUNITY.Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text The intuitive belief is this: good people get the good stuff. But we all know that's not how life works. Why not? A huge part of the problem is simply perspective. We don't realize how narrow our view of other people's lives is, and we get caught in the comparison trap. That's when ENVY rears its ugly head.…

Send us a text The US Pledge of Allegiance ends with these words: "Justice for ALL." It's something to strive for, but everyone knows it isn't our reality. We will all, at some point, draw the short straw or get left high and dry. It isn't fair, and it starts to feel like justice isn't for me... it's only for y'all.…

Send us a text Living a life of faith requires a foundation on which you base all of your beliefs and decisions: your source of wisdom. Psalm 1 addresses this head-on. Will your source of wisdom be the "scoffers" or the "wicked," or will it be the Lord?Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text Time after time, the life of Jesus showed how He was bringing the Kingdom to Earth through those society considered to be of the lowest status. Jesus birth put that principle on display from the very beginning.Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text As we read the unfolding of the events of Jesus' birth, it's easy to forget that, in that time and culture, the impact of those events on Joseph's life would have been huge and difficult. Despite that, he still chose to trust God, and we can learn from that.Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text Few of us could stand up to the kind of scrutiny that Moses' life has faced. His every choice has been evaluated and analyzed for millennia. Today we'll see what lessons we can take away from a broad sweep of a life that went from ordinary to extraordinary.Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text Moses tried his best to explain to the Israelites that following God would lead to life, but following the ways of the world, following their own selfishness, would lead to death. The previous generation chose to doubt God, and so he withheld his promise. The next generation then grew up, and it was their turn to choose.…

Send us a text The basic question the Bible raises over and over again is this: will you trust God or will you trust yourself instead? Moses faced a day when trusting God meant turning back from the very thing he was leading the Israelites to, and to follow God's lead instead.Bởi FBC Midlothian

Send us a text The stage was set. Pharaoh had finally relented and let Moses lead the Israelite out of slavery. Then, he changed his mind and Moses was left with his people pinned between an enemy army and a watery grave. Why would God place them in this situation... and would Moses choose to trust Him?…

Send us a text It's a tough aspect, but one we must address if we're going to talk about prayer: When it seems like God doesn't answer our prayers, what are we supposed to think and feel?
