Gossip And Slander
June 11, 2023 - 05:58 AM Sermon SeriesTaming The Tongue
In 2013, Justine Sacco, a communications executive with the media company IAC, sent a sarcastic tweet to her 170 Twitter followers just before boarding a plane for Africa. The tweet dripped with racial animosity — “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!” During her 11-hour flight to Cape Town, the tweet spread like wildfire from her tiny band of Twitter followers until she became the number one worldwide trend on Twitter. Hundreds called for her firing. Thousands labeled her as a hate-mongering racist. She had no idea that during her 11-hour flight when her phone was off, she became an Internet sensation. When she landed, she lost her job. She couldn’t find work for months, all because of a tweet with 12 slanderous words. As we study gossip and slander, we will examine how gossip spreads and the damage it can cause.

1 Timothy 5:17-25 - How Should I Treat My Church Leaders?
June 04, 2017 - 09:24 AM Sermon Series1 Timothy
When President Trump was running for office, he was invited on the Jimmy Fallon show. At the end of the interview, Jimmy asked if he could put his hand in candidate Trump's perfect hair and mess it up. Commentators from both sides of the aisle and later Jimmy Fallon himself regretted his actions. He showed a lack of respect for what would become one of the most powerful men in the world, the President of the United States. As Christians, we are not just to show respect to our political leaders but a congregation is to also show respect to their church leaders. Join us as we learn importance of honoring leaders in the church.

James 4:11-12 - Slander
September 15, 2011 - 03:14 PM Sermon SeriesJames
Walk through the checkout line at Walmart. The covers of magazines trumpet the dirty laundry of celebrities. Someone is getting divorced. Another was caught drunk at a party. While a newspapers can be sued if they print an untrue story, they are not charged with a crime if they destroy a reputation with the truth. After all, that is considered news. According to James, repeating unhelpful information is a crime, even if it is true. In this message, James helps us see why the reason we repeat unhelpful information about others is because of the pride in our own hearts.
