“Didn’t Jesus say you shouldn’t judge?” Many people who know very little about the Bible know this much, namely, that Jesus had issues with people judging. Is that true? If so, wouldn’t it be wrong to judge another person for their judgmental attitude? Or to confront someone for abusing a child? Or to look down on anyone for their racist views? These questions force us to think twice about what Jesus has to say about judging so that we can judge in Jesus’ way.
You are wonderfully and uniquely designed by the God who has never once made a mistake. Therefore, you should be true to yourself. Be authentically you. Don’t hide yourself or fit into the mold made by those who don’t know your heart. Few messages are more often heard in our day than “Be you.” What should followers of Jesus make of this? Does our Father call us to be ourselves? Or is he offering us something much harder (and much better)?

Sometimes it's hard for us to be generous because we don't realize what's on the backside of generosity. In this message we'll learn that our generous God not only loves a cheerful giver, but He loves to bless those who bless others.
When it comes to generosity, the temptation is to compare yourself to others. Thankfully God views generosity on an individual basis and his greatest concern isn't the amount you give but why you give it.
