Overcoming Bitterness / Villains / Week 4

Bitterness takes hold in our lives in a number of ways. It can start from feeling jealous, hurt, angry, or even fearful. And while we often believe bitterness punishes someone or something else, the only thing that is truly punished is us. Bitterness is a poor substitute for justice. In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Bonville shares a story from the Bible that can help you understand the root of your bitterness, and how you can take steps to overcome it. 

Guest Speaker: Pastor Brandon Bonville of Grace Church, West Bridgewater

Text: 2 Samuel 13 & 14

Choosing The Right Fight / Villains / Week 3

There are plenty of things to fight about. If you can't think of one, just scroll social media for a few minutes. We fight over relationships, politics, social issues, money, ethics, and even which way the toilet paper should be put on (the correct way is over, by the way). There is a time and a place to fight, but many of us are battling over the wrong things and as a result, we're left with little strength and energy to fight for the things that matter the most. In this video, Pastor Steven Lucas talks about what battles are worth fighting and which ones are not, and how making the wrong choice can move you from being the hero of the story to becoming the Villain.

How Good People Go Bad / Villains / Week 2

Most people don't want to end up being the bad guy in the story. Most of us would rather be remembered as the hero, not the one who chose the wrong path, made the wrong choice, and ruined everything. We see this in the movies, but you have probably seen this play out in real life too. So how do ordinary people become the bad guy or bad girl of their story? How does one end up the villain in their marriage, in their school, or workplace? In this sermon, guest speaker Ricardo Simon talks about how good people end up bad, and what you can do to avoid making these same mistakes.
