We were created for community.

Believe it or not, Fall is upon us, and that means it’s time for a new quarter of LifeMatters!

Disagreements. Conflict. If we have breath in our bodies, these things are inevitable. Since we can’t avoid disagreements, we should instead seek out ways to respond to disagreements in a way that glorifies God.

We’re tight on time this week. Here are the Web features for use with this Sunday’s lesson. As always, let us know your thoughts on this week’s study!

Forgiveness is easy to discuss and hard to do. Our example for forgiveness is Christ, who models perfect forgiveness.

For the month of August, our Bible study will focus on four “one another” commands in Scripture. Not only do these commands teach us how to be more like Christ, they also teach us how to have healthy, godly relationships with the people in our lives. We begin with the most important—love.

As we wrap up our study on spiritual freedom, we look at the proper response to that freedom—service. What motivates your service? When have you been on the receiving end of Christ-like service?

We’ve been having some technical difficulties with our blog, but it looks like we’re up and running again. Our apologies for not getting the past two week’s posts up in time for your Sunday morning preparations.

As Christians, we face an endless struggle between trying to earn our salvation and accepting the grace God gives us.

As we fire up the grills in honor of our nation’s birthday, we’ll begin a new unit on freedom in Christ. What does it mean to be a slave to Christ? How do we find spiritual freedom, and what impact does it have on our lives? These are all topics we’ll cover over the next five weeks.
