Raising Kids in a Bullying World

Do you ever feel like the world is going crazy?

Like so much doesn’t make sense? So many events are disturbing, and there is so much anger and division. On top of that, we have our own struggles like family relationships, financial anxiety, and workplace drama.

The ills of society take a toll on us, and we’re realizing that we have to be intentional about staying sane in an insane world.

Join us for a series about getting back on course and heading in the right direction.

The Bible and Sexuality

This series is based on Adam Hamilton’s book by the same title Making Sense of the Bible.

Adam invites us into an honest conversation about the Bible with foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?

From there, we will consider the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations alike, including:

  • Were Adam and Eve real people?
  • Why is God so violent in the Old Testament?
  • Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church?”
  • Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
  • How does God view same sex relationships?
  • Is the Book of Revelation a guide to the End Times?

We hope to address these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.

Is Jesus Really the Only Way to Salvation?

Some people believe you should never question your faith. But if you never ask questions, how else can you learn and grow?

Thinking people realize that asking questions is not a sign of weak faith. Instead, expressing your honest questions demonstrates that you care about your faith enough to wrestle with it.

Every week, you submitted a question, and each sermon will be based on one of the four most asked questions:

Aug 11- How do I love people who hate?
Aug 18- What does prayer actually accomplish?
Aug 25- Is Jesus really the only way to salvation?
Sept 1- Why would God allow evil and suffering in the world?
