The Grudge – Part 1: The Tension

Why is forgiveness so hard, especially when it is an expected part of what it means to be a believer in God? How do we understand and navigate forgiveness when we’ve been deeply hurt? Matthew 6:14-15; 18:21

Part 6: Love

Similar to God’s goodness, love is another attribute that when misunderstood, creates a one-dimensional caricature that misrepresents the very heart of God. Exodus 34:5-7; John 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; 1 John 4:8

Part 5: Good

The goodness of God in modern culture is either the most embraced or the most refected. How do we understand God as good in a world where suffering and evil exists? Exodus 33:19; Psalm 145:5-9; Romans 12:21;1 Thess. 5:15

Part 4: Holy

One characteristic that sets God apart from his creation is holiness. It is also a characteristic that becomes an important part of our faith journey as we grow in our relationship with God. Isaiah 6:1-7; Leviticus 20:26; Matthew 5:48; 1 Thess 4:7; 1 Peter 1:16

Part 3: Spirit

For centuries, the question of God’s material essence has been the cause of speculation and theological argument. Scripture, though, provides important details to inform our worship and obedience. John 4:24

Part 2: Knowable

Is God an abstract concept or is he truly knowable? Many who reject the notion of God reject the idea of a personal relationship with the creator, and in doing so, miss one of God’s most important attributes. Proverbs 8:17; Jeremiah 29:10-14; Hebrews 11:5-6; Colossians 1:15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Romans 1:20; John 17:1-5

God Is… Part 1: Three-In-One

The Trinity is a unique formulation for God that is essential to the Christian faith, yet one of the most difficult concepts to understand and comprehend, and the first step in knowing God intimately. Matthew 28:19; John 14:16-17; 2 Cor 13:14

Part 4: Divine Longing

The message of the angels proclaim a reality we all long for in one way or another. Grasping the heart of their message brings the hope of Christmas alive for everyone. Luke 2:14

Part 1: How Will We Know?

It is one thing for a prophet to predict an event, it is another matter altogether to predict details of that event that make the prediction undeniable. Isaiah 11:1-5; Jeremiah 23:5-6
