How Can I Live This Way?

As I've been studying the Sermon on the Mount in preparation for our current series (Sunday mornings at 11:00 at Open Door Community Church), I'm constantly challenged by the level to which Christ is calling us. One of the sermons in this study was entitled, "A Whole 'Nother Level", and that could be the title of this entire study! The almost involuntary cry from anyone who seriously studies these teachings of Jesus is "How can I live this way?"

Jesus gives us the answer in Matt. 7:7-11, and we'll be studying it Sunday, Feb. 27, at Open Door. You're invited to meet with us at 11:00 a.m.!

Can I Judge a Bar-B-Q Competition?

I'm sure we've all heard "but you're judging, and the Bible says 'judge not'." Yes, the Bible does say that. But does that mean that you can't judge whether a singer on American Idol has talent? Does it mean that you can't judge which bar-b-q tastes best to you? Obviously we need to understand what Jesus meant by what He said - and that's what we're studying Sunday, Feb. 20, at 11:00 a.m. I'd love to see you then!
