The Rumor Weed

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

Compliments

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Jan 19, 2022

Flattery is excessive and insincere praise, given especially to further one’s own interests. Proverbs 26:28 says that “a flattering mouth works ruin.” Compliments, on the other hand, are a genuine appreciation of something or someone — and this is the power to build and sustain others.

Introduction. Helen Mrosla writes, “In an earlier grade, I’d taped Mark’s mouth shut for talking too much in class. Now he was a student in my junior high school math class. His class had worked hard all week. By Friday the students were getting cranky. So, for a break, I asked them to write the ...read more

JUDAS, THE BETRAYER (part one) One of the questions in Sunday School last week had to do with Judas and the storms he was facing.
