The strong are to strengthen the weak instead of using their strength to suppress the weak.

Community is built when we bear each others' burdens. But burdens aren't just difficulties. Burdens are our sins. What are you doing to bear someone else's burdens...and having someone else bear yours?
Un-Civil War means that we have relationships that challenge us. What will happen if we have this type of relationship?
God is the God of all comfort. But he doesn't comfort us for our own good. How do we use comfort in an Un-Civil War?
We live in a free society. But we use our freedoms to look out for ourselves and cause "Civil War." How do we use our freedom to cause an "Un-Civil War?"
Our culture thinks significance is a limited resource. Thus, we fight for significance. What if significance is an unlimited resource and we can produce it?
Inside the church, there are different types of people, but we're all on the same mission. How does a diverse group accomplish what it needs to?
Jesus is Supreme Leader over death. Death is the culmination of sin, secrets and religion. How did Jesus defeat death...and why does it matter today?
Jesus is Supreme Leader over sin because he defeated sin. So how does he treat sinners? Of whom, we all are.
Jesus is Supreme Leader over religion. Religion is us trying to fix our sin problem. But Jesus gives us something immeasurably more.
There is always a mountain in the way of immeasurably more. But the Creator is Leader over the mountains as well.
Paul said Jesus is the Leader over creation. That's a nice thought. But did he prove it while he was on the earth? And what is the immeasurably more for our life because of this?
Great fictional epics have a supreme leader who has to be defeated. Our lives are no different. Who is that Supreme Leader? How has Jesus made himself the real Supreme Leader?
Study and practice gets us better at walking the tightrope of money. What practices are we to do in order to get better?
Ok. So the church has expenses and needs income. Shocker. But how does God view money?
Is the tithing thing just for the Old Testament? What do we see for giving and church finances in the New Testament?
The foundation of being generous was started through the Old Testament principle of tithing. Does this principle still help us today?
We worship what is greater than us. What makes God so great?
Worship is easy on the mountain but we should trust God's promises and continue to worship in the valley.
Worship is a lifestyle. It will include singing. But what about the "Service" or "Worship Service" or "Going to church"? What do we do with that?
