Asking For A Friend
Sometimes we have big questions about life and faith and no one to ask or we are just too embarrassed to ask them out loud. In this series, we will talk about some of those questions that “your friend” might be posing to you. Each question we address is a question that has been asked by one or several people in our own congregation. We will also select one question from those submitted during this series. We will address that question the final week of the series.

We try to meet a spiritual need with something other than God.
The reason you can't stop is because you focus on the pursuit of religion and forget the power of grace.
Religion is an institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and PRACTICES.
Pursuing Jesus as a religion is your attempt to earn God's approval by following the rules.
Grace = "charis" - the unmerited, goodwill, and favor of God
The grace that saves you is the grace that sustains you.
Religion is always outward focused.
When you change your behavior and not your heart the behavior comes back.
Stop trying in your power and start relying on God's power.
How to know that you have a problem?
- If more the one person has told you.
- If you have a secret that you've been carrying.
- if you have a shame that you've been hiding.
- If more the one person has told you.
- If you have a secret that you've been carrying.
- if you have a shame that you've been hiding.
You don't change by trying harder, you change by trusting more.
