This week, we had Pastor Paul Nash, Home Missions Director of the AFLC with us. He spoke at our men's conference on Friday and Saturday, as well as at worship on Sunday. There's a lot of content here, so I'll be uploading it gradually.

The first session of our men's conference can be heard or downloaded here: http://www.archive.org/details/MensConferenceSession1

We have a glitch with session 3 that we're trying to work out. We hope to have it available soon.

This past Wednesday, we continued our series on Luke 11. As Jesus addressed the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, he said that they were unmarked graves. What does this mean? How might we also be unmarked graves? This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/UnmarkedGraves

In the second message of our Lenten series, we jumped forward to the events of Jesus' arrest. As the soldiers came for him, Jesus approached them and asked whom they sought. In doing so, he turned himself over to them; he submitted himself to the will of God. Are we willing to do the same? Are we willing to submit ourselves to the will of God, no matter what it means for us? This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/WhomDoYouSeek

On the Wednesday's of Lent, we have another series going. In it, we're looking at Jesus' condemnation of the Pharisees in Luke 11 because of their hypocrisy. And we're seeing how we often display the same attitudes. The first message of this series failed to be recorded. So we're jumping in with message 2.

This week, we heard how the Pharisees had a love of honor. Do we possess that same love? This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/TheLoveOfHonor

Peter boldly asserted that he would lay down his life for Jesus. But, that very night, he denied the Lord three times. Like Peter, we often overestimate our faith. We say that we believe in him; we say that we love him. But then we deny him in word and deed. We must look to the Lord who will not only forgive us, but strengthen us that we will sacrifice all for his sake.

As believers, we know that God wants to use us; we know that he wants us to serve him. And most of us would say that we're willing to do so. But not many of us have prayed that God would use us; not many of us have asked God to do great things through us. When we look at ourselves compared to other believers, to those who've accomplished great things for God, we feel unworthy and inadequate. However, they can inspire us to serve. They can motivate us to seek to be used by God. This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/UseMe_15

When we bring our needs and requests to God, we carry with us a lot of expectations. We fail to realize that these expectations can actually hinder us from receiving the blessing of God. We must drop our expectations, realizing that God is not bound by them. And we must simply look to him and trust in him.

We all relish our freedom. It's true politically and in the church. We enjoy those things that God has not forbidden, and we don't let anyone strip us of our rights. However, when it comes to this freedom, there's something else we have to consider: the welfare of others in the church.
