Email. Internet. Video. Texting. Tablets. Smartphones. The list never ends, does it? As technology advances, real human connection becomes harder and harder. If we’re not careful, each new gadget can draw us further away from the family of believers God designed us to be.

If you want to experience a close community with other Christians, this series by Chuck Swindoll will challenge you to escape the trap of superficiality and to develop tight bonds that will feed your soul and mature your spiritual family. Keep your relationships connected…by dropping your guard.

Character Counts: Building a Life That Pleases God

Character. The word stirs a variety of feelings: admiration, confusion, or even guilt. Whether it’s offering encouragement to a downtrodden friend or living out the truth in an antagonistic environment, character impacts every aspect of our lives. Our character dictates the kinds of decisions we make and determines how we will treat those around us. In the ups and downs of life, godly character serves as a stabilizing force, keeping us pointed toward Christ. Character Counts offers practical guidance on how to embody godly character in our day-to-day lives.

UPCOMING MESSAGES

  • June 19 - June 21 Choose for Yourself

    There came a time when the ancient Hebrews had to make decisions on their own. No longer could they rely on their leader Joshua to stand before them and command that they go in this direction or that. He was soon to die, and they would be responsible for their own actions. So Joshua called the people together and confronted them with the facts. His final speech can be summarized in three words: “choose for yourselves” (Joshua 24:15). These three words apply so perfectly to us today as we consider how to build congregational relationships.

  • June 24 - June 26 The Necessity of Accountability

    Our society of isolated, distant individuals teaches a false philosophy: “Live and let live.” To those who have escaped from an oppressive, controlling government, that sounds like a haven…a long-lost dream realized. But when we flesh out that motto, it often leads to peril. We need each other! Even those who don’t think so. Even those who seem totally self-sufficient, strong, and stable. Christians are unwise when they remain out of touch and live in secrecy. Being responsible includes being accountable, not just to God but also to one another.

  • June 27 - July 1 A Hope Transplant: The Essential Operation

    How would you define hope? In what way would your definition apply to a local church? What if hope were missing from a congregation? Would anybody notice? We’ll think about these and other things as we allow Peter’s words to guide us into the truth about hope. Of special interest are the essentials involved in keeping a church’s hope strong and constant. These passages of Scripture suggest several ingredients that must be present if hope is to remain a vital part of a church’s life.

  • July 2 - July 4 They, Being Dead, Still Speak

    Over the vast expanse of Scripture, a variety of admirable people cross our paths. Because God not only preserved the record of their lives but also used each one to model particular character traits, it seems appropriate for us to become better acquainted with both the people and their individual qualities, which are worth emulating.

  • July 5 - July 9 The Discernment of Abigail

    She appeared suddenly, fading away almost as quickly. Abigail made the most of her brief moment in the spotlight, even though she entered the biblical story in the presence of one of the most significant figures in all of Scripture—David, the future king of Israel. With conflict brewing between David and Nabal, Abigail's husband, Abigail intervened just in time. Because she possessed such depth of character, she was able to discern the rising tempers and act to alleviate them.
