/Rel/ational - Beginning and Ending (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does God care about human suffering? And what difference does a personal relationship with God make in the midst of tragedy? The Christian theology of sin and evil distinguishes between sentimentalism and true relationship, assuring us that God is with us in our suffering, sin does not have the final word, and God works to redeem the evil we experience because he has put an ultimate end to sin.
/Rel/ational - Dead and Alive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is the purpose of life? And where does it come from? Scripture does not instruct us on which jobs to have, where to live, or who to spend time with. Instead, God’s purpose for us is revealed through simple acts. We were created on purpose, for a purpose. And as we pursue that purpose, we experience more than a purposeful life - we come to know the new life God gives us in Christ.
/Rel/ational - An Argument (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is the Christian faith primarily about a mission? A mission to save souls, a mission to heal the world, or a mission to be right ? Or is our faith primarily about a relationship? Humanity seeks answers, but God responds with a person, not an answer. We seek certainty, but God meets us vulnerability. Christianity can only be understood through relationship - first with God, and then with our neighbor.
Rest and Restoration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most widely ignored commandment in the church today is to honor the Sabbath and keep it holy. We have been told that a choice must be made between excellence and rest, between productivity and healing. Jesus tells us that Sabbath rest is a foretaste of the Kingdom of God. When we deny ourselves this blessing, we miss out on far more than a nap. We do dishonor to our identity as children of God.
What Christians Do: Mission (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guest preacher, Stephen DiTrolio, shares his reading of The Great Commission as he draws from his experience as the child of missionaries. The call to the church is to bring the love of Jesus into every corner of creation. This requires the whole church - not just clergy and leaders. God’s call on every believer’s life is the same: love God and your neighbor with your actions.
