The
True Servants of God (70 KB)
Aaron describes true servanthood from Luke 2:36-38 by looking at

did not go out looking for another husband after the only seven years
of her marriage ended with her being a widow. And when she
saw the Christ, she was sensitive enough to see who the little baby
really was...the Christ." |

The
Root Of Bitterness (71 KB)
Aaron encourages us to move past bitterness into forgiveness: "Some
of us have endured hurt at the hands of particular individuals...
When people decide to do these things, people suffer. As a result,
we get angry. We cry. We have to go through these emotions in order
to be healed of it. We grieve and we get angry, so we can forgive." |

Priorities
(73 KB)
Aaron challenges all of us to check our current priorities in life: "We
keep God in second place many times because we like first place too
much. We want to be the masters of our own destiny. It is hard to
give up control over people, circumstances, money, etc., because
in doing so, we forfeit being in charge of our own lives." |

Aaron reminds us to not consider God's love in abstract terms nor
believe that God has forgotten us in hard times, because neither
of these suffice. For it is only when we see our need, that we will
see God's love. |

Aaron defines and warns against legalism: "Legalism is putting
up a standard for others to meet and when they don't meet those expectations,
they are immediately frowned upon, rejected and cast out. Most of
the time, the standard has little or no Biblical basis." |

Identity
Crisis (6 KB)
Satan works within the Body of Christ by perverting our identity
as Christians. The first way is to convince a believer that they
are more than what they really are. The second way is exactly the
opposite; convincing believers that they are hoeplessly worthless.
Aaron discusses some practical ways we can withstand falling vicitim
to these two traps. |

Him alone. |

Learning
from the Past (7 KB)
The Bible teaches that people do not come to know the Lord by themselves.

the veil from the eyes of the lost people we love. |
