Light - IS HE the Light of Your World
You know that feeling when you walk from darkness into light? When you turn on the bathroom light first thing in the morning, when you step from a dark movie theater into the sunshine? It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust. It's uncomfortable at first because light totally invades and overwhelms darkness. In reality there is no such thing as dark, only the absence of light. In the Bible, John describes Jesus as the light that shines in the darkness that cannot be overcome. Jesus described Himself as the light of the world. Could it be that the birth of Jesus was more than just a silent night, but an aggressive invasion of light and hope into a world suffering from the absence of light?

Playground - Bullies
Remember the playground? Monkey bars, swings, tag, four square, picking teams, playing kickball? The playground was a place of freedom after being imprisoned in a classroom all day being told to sit still and be quiet. Remember running... oops, i mean, walking, single file, quietly from class to recess... only to find that there were "Playground Rules"? Rules? Why? Why, in a place designed for fun and freedom would there be rules, boundaries, teachers with whistles? What's the point? In this series we are going to explore some of God's most famous "rules" and ask the same questions. Is God really into rules? Or is there something else He's much more concerned about?

Behind Closed Doors - Behind Locked Doors
In a world that is constantly reaping the fallout of broken relationships, we have no shortage of places to turn for advice in regards to what we do behind closed doors. We can call late night talk shows. We can peruse the aisles of any check out stand in any grocery store for advice on how to spice up our sex lives. We can watch it on-line, order it On-Demand, and read about it at length. What we do behind closed doors is more out in the open than ever before. Yet the fallout from relationships gone wrong is not decreasing even with the incredible amount of advice we are getting from all sides. Could it be possible that we are asking the wrong questions to the wrong people? Could it be that the One who came up with the idea in the first place has a lot more to say about what we do behind closed doors than we think? Could it be that God actually knows how sex and relationships are meant to work if we would only ask?
