    About spiritually tripping another person, or as Paul says, being a stumbling block to another Christian.

    Though one of the objectives of football is to knock the other guy down, tripping is not allowed. If the Packers' Ross Verba is blocking the Vikings' John Randle, trying to prevent him from sacking Brett Favre, he is not allowed to stick out his leg and trip him. If he does, and the referee sees ...read more

    based on 161 ratings
     | 24,543 views

    Judging other people is dangerous because it lulls us into a false sense of security, blinds us to our own faults, and usurps God’s role as judge.

    We Christians can be such "dorks" sometimes. We have a tendency to build our own little holy huddle, with our own special words and secret handshakes. If a person shows up who doesn’t know our special words, they feel like a fish out of water. No wonder so many unchurched seekers are deeply ...read more

    Four family privilges we receive when we become God’s children through faith in Jesus Christ.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a drama called "Love of Another Kind" and a song called "Faithful Father"). The reality is that not all fathers are faithful. My father wasn’t faithful.
