Summary
Are you a “self-ian” or a Christ-ian? The first focuses his life and Christian walk upon himself. The other focuses his life upon God and God’s glory. We need to focus our lives upon God’s glory, for God’s glory is jealously defended. Join Eric as he explores the meaning of jealousy, glory, and how pursuing God’s glory transforms how we live.

Summary
Whether based upon ethnicity, tax bracket, religious beliefs, or political preferences, people like to build circles of friends based how they are similar to other people.

Scriptures
1 Peter 1.13-21
Ephesians 4.22-32
Summary
Problem: Western culture throughly rejects biblical values–most notably values dealing with sexuality and valuing all forms of human life. The Church deals with diametrically opposed culture one of three ways.
Solution: One can conform, rebel, or speak out in grace and truth. We are called to respond gracefully and truthfully because we are obsessed with God and God’s world view. This obsession comes from spending time with Jesus and in His Word. It is a process.
