A Beautiful Mess: Sin Is That Ugly

Sadly, this kind of hypocrisy is as old as Christianity - as old as one of the oldest churches, located in the ancient city of Corinth. They thought they were better than the rest, but the Apostle Paul tells them they are dead wrong. Can we learn from their mistakes, both individually and collectively? Join us this winter as we walk through 1 Corinthians, as this ancient letter continues to speak to us today.

What Kind of Kid Is This?
28/12/2014 Duration: 35minLuke 2:39-52 | Michael Roop Has the Christmas story become so ordinary that we have forgotten what a strange and unusual set of events it is? A husband becoming mute while his elderly, barren wife has an unexpected child? An unmarried virgin suddenly pregnant, and her fiancée doesn’t leave her? Angels giving a first class music performance for a bunch of solitary shepherds? And a baby born in the strangest of places, declared to be the Savior of the world? Why in the world would God choose to come to the world as a poor, helpless, colonized child, born in extremely risky conditions? What a strange way to save the world...or is it?

Questioning God: And Yet Joy Is Possible
23/11/2014 Duration: 36minHabakkuk 3:1-19 | Gabe Coyle A struggling marriage. The death of a loved one. A global health crisis. Worldwide poverty and hunger. There are many times where life simply doesn’t make sense. How do we reconcile these times with a God who is supposed to care? With a God who is supposed to be in control? The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk found himself wrestling with these questions during a particularly difficult time in Israel’s history. Confused, he turned to the heavens, and began a journey of questioning God. And then, God answered! What can we learn from Habakkuk’s questions and God’s answers? Where did Habakkuk’s journey lead him? How do we trust in God when life doesn’t make sense? For three weeks, we’ll look at the book of Habakkuk, an old conversation between God and one of his followers that is still relevant for today.
