Accepting People as They Are in Church

Do we ever suffer from "spiritual amnesia" in the church? We've walked in the light for so long, sometimes forgetting the brokenness we once knew. This can lead us to set invisible standards, expecting unbelievers to act like believers before they've even encountered Christ. The truth is, the church should be a hospital for the hurting, not a museum for the perfect. Are we truly embracing people as they are, just as Christ embraced us? It's not our job to 'clean' them; it's our role to love and welcome. Learn how we can remove these barriers and let God do His transformative work.

Returning to Community After Betrayal

Ever felt the sting of betrayal in a spiritual setting? It's natural to want to retreat, to protect your heart when the very place meant for healing causes pain.

How do we find the courage to reconnect and trust again, separating human failures from God's promise? Discover how to navigate this challenging journey and embrace God's invitation to heal.
