  • We Need To Talk About The Truth About Judgement
    Mar 9 2023
    What does the flood narrative teach us about God? Does God love creation or is he angry and quick to destroy? And what does the flood say about the state of humanity? Are we precious image-bearers or subjects of wrath? While it is one of the more challenging stories in Genesis, the flood tells us the truth about God’s judgment and how the hope is always that it will result in salvation.

  • We Need To Talk About The Truth About Hatred
    Mar 2 2023
    When Cain kills his brother he unleashes the power of hatred into the world. And while we may not relate to the impulse to murder, none of us are immune to following the way of Cain. Once we make someone an enemy we naturally fall into blame and eventually we begin to give ourselves over to hateful thoughts and hateful actions. But Jesus has come to set us free from the power of sin so it is no longer our master. As he does this he teaches us that yes, we are one another’s keeper, and when we remember this we stop seeing others as enemies.

    Feb 23 2023
    The idea of sin has become highly individualized in the Western Church. Many believe that sin is all about the bad choices individuals make and the consequences that come as a result. But the truth about sin is that it is cosmic. Its effects can be seen in all of creation. God is the initiator of our salvation. Because of Jesus, we are free from the bonds of sin. In Jesus, humanity is restored.

  • We Need To Talk About The Truth About Creation
    Feb 9 2023
    Can the creation story in Genesis 1 be validated by modern science? How can light exist without the sun? Was the earth created in 7, 24-hour days? Is there a dome that separates the heavenly waters from the earthly waters? Asking these kinds of questions of Genesis 1- 2:3 demonstrates that modern readers are missing the point. The ancient writers of Genesis were not trying to communicate how, when, or where the creation of the world took place - but who did it and why.
