Part 3: Suffering
Suffering is a reality of being human. It is the plight of many with no end in sight. As believers, our ability to ease the suffering in this world goes far beyond the practical help it extends to those we help. 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; Matthew 5:4; Romans 8:18-21; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
Part 2: Justice
Justice has become an important social priority, especially since injustice continues to be so prevalent. How do Christians navigate true justice in a world of inequality, racial strife, and economic disparity? Isiah 61:8-9; Micah 6:8; Luke 18:1-8
Part 1: Creation
From the dawn of humanity, we have looked to the skies and wondered how it all came together. Even today, theories of how the universe was formed are legion. Why should Christians care about this hotly debated topic of creation and how does it affect our caring for the environment? Genesis 2:15; Romans 8:22-23; Colossians 1:15-16; Psalms 19:1-6
Where Do I Stand? – Part 4: Open Eyes and Open Heart
The Resurrection changes everything. Mark 15:40-41;16:9-16
Where Do I Stand? – Part 3: Victim
The cross literally stands as a signpost. If you view it from one perspective, Jesus becomes nothing more than a victim, from another, he becomes so much more. Luke 23:44-49
Where Do I Stand? Part 2: What’s In It for Me?
For some, they know just enough to want Jesus on their side. It’s a relationship more about the advantage of having Jesus as an ally as opposed to having him as our Lord. Mark 11:1-11; 15:6-15
