Christ's Church of the Valley no Christ's Church of the Valley: Royersford, PA frank@moviechurch.com ℗ & © 2008 Christ's Church of the Valley 720 The church has a bad reputation because people feel judged by Christians and for good reason. Christians have turned judging those outside the circle of faith into an art form. This is competely opposite of what the Bible really teaches. In fact, we need to judge those who are inside the circle of faith; it is the loving thing to do. http://www.moviechurch.com/sermon/most-promiscuous-church-member-of-the-year http://www.moviechurch.com/mediafiles/most-promiscuous-church-member-of-the-year.mp3 Sun, 11 May 2008 09:12:07 CDT Brian Jones CMT Morality Awards bible,judging,faith,christians,jesus_paul 27:23 The Apostle Paul understood completely, Jesus' words, "My grace is sufficient for you."

A quote from the poll: “…Evangelicals—their distinctive faith aside—are acting more and more like the rest of us.” We are bringing this game into the church. God is no fan of lying. He tells us not to do it. When we become a Christian, the Bible tells us to "take off our old self" and put on the "new self." Our old behaviors must be changed. They cannot remain the the same. http://www.moviechurch.com/sermon/outburst http://www.moviechurch.com/mediafiles/outburst.mp3 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 13:09:07 CDT Brian Jones The Games We Play god,bible,lying,games,research 19:27 #1 WE’RE ALL HYPOCRITES #2 WE CAN’T USE “NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED” AS AN EXCUSE TO LIVE HOWEVER WE WANT http://www.moviechurch.com/sermon/charades http://www.moviechurch.com/mediafiles/charades.mp3 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 13:58:52 CDT Brian Jones The Games We Play hypocrisy 23:26 People in our culture show favoritism all the time, but followers of Jesus must never show favoritism.

However, many Christians reach a certain level of spirituality, and begin to feel the church lets them down.
