Forgive me for failing to post a week 3 blog. We were away with family and did not have internet access out there in the country that week. To be honest, it was a little refreshing. :) You can listen to the message on our website's Media Pulpit www.fairhopeumc.org or you can download our podcasts on iTunes. Look for Fairhope United Methodist Church.
Week 4--The Big Reveal
What is in your heart? What is important to you? What do you value? Are you willing to build others up or try to bring them down to look better in your own eyes?
We all reveal these things everyday. We reveal them to ourselves and to others. We do so in what we say. Jesus' teaching is clear that the overflow of our hearts comes out through our mouths. It is not only what we say, but how we say it that is important. Would you examine the overflow of the heart with me this week? This Sunday's message takes a look at our mouths what powerful tools they are--for good or for evil.

Home Builders—Week 2—Trading Spaces
Last week we laid the foundation of building our homes. We said that our homes are the places where we can be ourselves. Spiritually, the home is the very core of who we are and where we have our deepest thoughts and feelings. In order to build that home, we must build it on the Wisdom of God. In week 2, we investigate “Trading Spaces.”
The news is full of stories about children and teens who are out of control. We see TV shows in which children are causing so much misery for parents that “experts” must come in to solve the problems. While most of us will never find ourselves on these kinds of shows, it does give us pause to look at a few points.
The Parent/Child relationship is the most basic of all relationships. We are all in that relationship in one form or another. Sometimes we find ourselves in some “non-traditional” places in Parent/Child relationships. In this week’s message we’ll examine how we start “Trading Spaces” to make these relationships what God has called them to be.

Home Builders Week 1--Divine Design
If you were to start to build a home, where would you begin? What kind of things would you put in it? What would be the most important things to you?
This week, we begin a five-week series called “Home Builders.” We’re going to examine what God’s Word says about our homes and His desire for them. Our homes are important to us. No matter our station in life: single, married, young or old, home is HOME. It is our place, the place where we belong, the place where we can be ourselves, the place where we’re comfortable. That’s exactly the place where God wants to talk to us. This week I want to challenge you to ask, “What would be God’s Divine Design in building my home?”
