    Mythbusters - The "Sin doesn't matter" Myth - Audio
    Sin is a part of every person's life, to varying degrees. Many think that it is just part of life and does not impact us at all. Sin is extremely damaging to our psyche. The more we give in, the more our sensitivity to it diminishes greatly, making the next sin even easier to give into. Satan knows this and tempts that us with small things at first and then pushes towards worse and worse things. Repentance is the only thing that can lead us back to God and the plan he has for our lives.

Also, a lot of science proves the existence of God in how there would have to be a designer for things to have worked out like they did.

    Some people believe that faith is specific to the individual and that organized religion is unnecessary. Jesus did preach individual relationships with God, but also in the context of the church being a body. We are all connected and need each other to survive spiritually. For those that try to "go it alone", Satan is just waiting to pick them off because they don't have the support and structure that is needed. God always planned for the church to be a family and support each other on our path to Heaven.

He was willing to stand up for what was right, even if others did not like it.

    Esther was a unique case in the scriptures. She was picked to be queen by the king, having no royal background at all. Given her position, she worked to be a humble servant to the king, as well as to her people. She was able to get many things for her people, even at the potential cost of her own life. A humble person thinks not of themselves first, but of how they can help others out. If we all are humble, we will meet the needs of others, but also get our needs met by others.

    Ordinary Heroes - Timothy - Audio

    Ordinary Heroes - Timothy - Audio
    Timothy may have been a kingdom kid, but that does not mean he knew it all. Paul mentored him, especially when he was put into a leadership position. He had a very strong spiritual upbringing with both his Mom and Grandmother being disciples, but that does not guarantee that he will have the same spiritual values. He had to learn the on his own. Whether you have come into the kingdom fresh, or live among it all your life, God still needs to be a personal relationship for you.
