Judging and Being Judged
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 31, 2015
We make judgements about other people based on how they look, what they eat, how they raise their children, how they spend their time and money, and the list goes on. What should we do with these thoughts? Are they bad? People often quote Jesus saying, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). But He also said, “Do not judge according to the appearance, but judge with just judgement” (John 7:24). Join us this Sunday as we explore with this important aspect of human relationships. | By Rev.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 31, 2015
The purpose of government is to observe and provide order. This is best done when we focus on the public good and through that the individual. Public good should be understood in a hierarchy of good ascending from civil, to moral, to spiritual. However, the most important truth is that the Lord governs all things. | By Rev.
