Mythbusters (October 7 - November 25, 2007)

Mythbusters

As believers, we have dozens of deeply cherished beliefs concerning the Christian life. These beliefs have been passed down generation after generation and have an extraordinary impact on our lives. But how many of these beliefs can limit the effectiveness of the Church? And how many can withstand the scrutiny of scripture?

Mythbusters (October 7 - November 25, 2007)

The Holy Man Myth (Part 1)
[October 7, 2007] The Holy Man Myth (Part 1). We rightly have high expectations for Christian leaders, especially clergy. However, the average believer has relatively low expectations of what they are required to be or do. Yet the scriptures call every believer to the highest possible standards. In terms of "being", we are called to put on the very holiness of God. A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Holy Man Myth (Part 2)
[October 14, 2007] The Holy Man Myth (Part 2). The Scriptures call every believer to the highest possible standards. In terms of "doing", we're called to be a priesthood of believers, administering God's grace. What is my spiritual gift? How can I develop it? How can I use it to put God's love on display for others to see? A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Holy Place Myth
[October 21, 2007] The Holy Place Myth. Believers put great emphasis on "houses" of worship. In church, our consciences are suddenly quickened as we become aware of the presence of God. Yet the Bible teaches that "we" are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are the place where God should be glorified daily. What if we lived each moment of the day, conscious of God's constant presence? A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Lone Ranger Myth
[October 28, 2007] The Lone Ranger Myth. Can the Christian life be attmepted alone, in spiritual and relational isolation from other believers? Is Church membership just another outdated concept from yesteryear? What is my relationship to the Church? Am I known? Am I connected? Am I accountable? Does Christ have authority over my life? A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Ladder Myth
[November 4, 2007] The Ladder Myth. Are other people obstacles to our success? Are other people stepping stones, a kind of a means to some greater end? Jesus radically reorients our perspective on poeple and challenges us to put others first. A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Sarcasm Myth
[November 11, 2007] The Sarcasm Myth. Christians are among the quickest to make judgments and assign labels to those struggling with sin. But how eager are we to come alongside other people and encourage positive growth? Do we spend as much time building into others as we do building our case? What is my attitude toward other people, my children, my spouse and my coworkers? A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Cheap Grace Myth
[November 18, 2007] The Cheap Grace Myth. Christians rightly rejoice in the forgiveness and love of God. But how often are we guilty of abusing God's grace? A true understanding of grace should change us and not enable sinful patterns of behavior. A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...

The Scarcity Myth
[November 25, 2007] The Scarcity Myth. For many, contentment is about acquiring things we don't yet have--a bigger home, nicer car, fancier clothing-- the list is endless. The true source of discontentment is refusing to appreciate the countless ways God has already blessed us, starting with our relationship with Christ. A message by Jon Morrissette. read more...
