Dealing with Negative Responses
Sometimes we sense a calling from God to make a change in our lives, stop a hurtful habit, give more, or step into an opportunity to help someone. But even when we’re convinced God is leading us to take action, there may still be challenges to overcome. We may face people who criticize or judge us, tell us we’re wasting our time, or convince us we’re going to fail. So what do we do when our sense of calling is met with negative reactions? How do we tune out the critics and doubters and keep moving forward with the purpose God has placed on our hearts?
Scripture References: Nehemiah 4:8, Nehemiah 6:4, Nehemiah 4:1-3, Nehemiah 6:9, Nehemiah 2:19, Galatians 5:16, Acts 13:45, Proverbs 16:9, Mark 2:22, Nehemiah 4:15
From Series: "Do Something: From Burden to Action"
Sometimes the next step isn't obvious. We sense God stirring something in our hearts—a burden we can't ignore—but we're not always sure what to do with it. Whether it's serving others, meeting a need in our community, or making a difference in our church, God often begins with a burden before He reveals the plan. Join us at Flagstone for our new series, Do Something: From Burden to Action, as we follow the story of Nehemiah and discover how God used an ordinary man with an extraordinary burden to accomplish something significant. Along the way, we'll see that God is still calling His people to step out in faith and take action today.

Red Flags - When We Can't Communicate
Almost every relationship has its share of disagreements, conflicts, and misunderstandings. However, when it seems like every time I try to have a conversation with this particular friend or co-worker or family member the end result is an argument, or when one of us seems to never really listen to the other, those are red flags. Those are warning signs that something in this relationship needs to be addressed. How do I recognize communication red flags in my relationships? And what can I do to improve how I listen to this other person and improve how clearly I communicate my perspective with them?
Scripture References: Philippians 2:1-4, Ephesians 4:29, Matthew 7:1-5
From Series: "Red Flags"
"Red flags" serve as warning signs. A burger restaurant that serves "bargain sushi"? That's a red flag. A used car dealer that says, "This vehicle has only been in two previous accidents"? That's a red flag. But what about red flags in relationships? Whether it's in a friendship, a dating relationship, or a marriage, we need to pay attention to red flags that may be warning us that there is something unhealthy in our connection with that other person. What are some of the more common relationship red flags? And what are spiritually and emotionally healthy ways of dealing with those warning signs?
