Just a quick look at television, movies, music lyrics, and stories on the Internet reveals that there are a lot of social issues that confront us every day. How should a Christian respond to these issues?

Week One: Social Ills
There are a lot of wrongs to be made right.

Week Two: Helping Others
God blesses us to allow us to bless others.

Week Three: Marriage by Design
By design, God created man and woman for a purpose.

Week Four: Racial Lines
God doesn’t judge people by skin color–neither should we.

Everyone appreciates it when others treat them with kindness and graciousness–yet we often find it difficult to express the same type of qualities toward others.

Week One: A Kind God
While we were still sinners, God expressed kindness to us.

Week Two: A Good God
God is good all the time time… you know the rest.

Week Three: A Gentle God
Gentleness is not just softness.

Week Four: A Reflection of God
Others can see God in the way you act–or not.

Most people have a basic idea of who Jesus is–after all, they hear His name at Christmas and Easter. But who is Jesus, really?

Week One: Life Giver
Life–real life–only comes from Jesus.

Week Two: Miracle Worker
Amazing miracles highlight the greatness of Jesus.

Week Three: The Only Hope
Heaven or hell? Your only hope is Jesus.

Week Four: Lord of All
You can’t call Jesus Lord if you won’t surrender to Him.

Being human beings who live with other human beings, it’s pretty much a given that we’re going to experience conflict. Why? Because we are sinful beings who all struggle with a sin nature.

Week 1: Sinful Hearts
We are our own worst enemies.

Week 2: Broken Relationships
A friend can become an enemy pretty quickly.

Week 3: Common Ground
We are all on the same team.

Week 4: Humble Forgiveness
Take a moment, step back, and swallow your pride.
