We may unintentionally focus on biblical passages and teachings that support our opinions and ignore or downplay those that contradict them. Our fallen human nature dislikes being wrong, so we subconsciously want to protect our self-esteem. Hence, we are always motivated to prove our opinions and our tribe’s positions to be correct. Our confirmation bias easily kicks in without us realizing it. 
 Combined with our fallen nature’s potency at finding faults in others (finding the speck in our neighbor’s eye) and missing faults in ourselves (the logs in our eyes), we too easily think we are always theologically or biblically right (Matt. 7:3). We accuse each other of deliberately ignoring biblical truths. 
We are all biased. And before you think that you are less biased than others, we are all hypocrites too (as Jesu said, “Beware the Yeast of the Pharisees.” Are we doomed to biased opinions and intractable beliefs? Join us tonight as we confront this theological struggle.

The Believers Battle with Bias - 1 Corinthians 8: 2-3

Beware when all speak well of you. Be surprised if no one despises your faith, your zeal, your singular devotion to Christ. Examine yourself if you never give offense to anyone. You may be seeking to receive your glory from men instead of God (John 5:44). You may be striving to please a man in a way that disqualifies you from serving Christ (Galatians 1:10).

Haters Gon’ Hate - John 15:18–20

Where were you? - Job 38:1-4

Some people say letting go is a choice. Others think it happens only when the conditions are right - after contrition has been shown after you've found a new relationship, or after you've been forgiven. What does it take to be able to truly let go? To open your palm and let the bitterness and exasperation and hurt and shame sift through your fingers? The answers are not easy, but join us as we attempt to explore through the word.

Relinquish - John 10:17-18

Working Through Emotional Wounds - Psalm 147:3

Has  it ever occurred to you that this phrase is a very suitable one as describing the different events of earthly history and the varied phases of earthly experience? It hints not only that they happen, but that they are so soon over; they come, but they "come to pass." We do not always realize that, but it is always true. We are not conscious that the earth is moving round the sun, or that it is revolving daily on its axis, yet it is true. Summer and winter, day and night, do not cease, there is perpetual movement. All that comes to us here "comes to pass," NOTHING LASTS VERY LONG, "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
