A Judging Matter

Genesis 19

Focus: Vote according to God's values, not for your own economic self-interests.

I. Don't try to climb Lot's LADDER (Gen 13:12)

II. His votes leaned against the WRONG WALL

III. Sexual ORIENTATION is a MORAL ISSUE, not a CIVIL RIGHT

(Rom 1:27, I Cor 6:18, Prov 6:27-29 I Cor 6:9-11)

Imitations, Impressions and Impersonations

Speaker: Doug Bridge, VVCC Pastor of Family Ministries

Ephesians 5

Focus: Expectations are high when someone offers to do an impression.

I. We are called to do IMITATIONS of GOD.

II. We ought, also, to be able to look to the APOSTLES and our LEADERS as EXAMPLES to IMPERSONATE.

III. Others ought to be able to look to US as EXAMPLES to IMPERSONATE.

IV. The AREAS (s) in our lives that WOULDN'T be good for others to IMITATE are where we REALLY need to ask GOD FOR HIS HELP in our maturing.
