Beyond Tolerance #6, Part 2
What’s the biggest challenge you’re likely to face today? Sometimes just making it to lunch feels like running a marathon. But do we often set our sights too low? What does it mean to be “earth shakers” and “overcomers”? Surely, this can’t be referring to everyday us, can it?
Beyond Tolerance #6, Part 1
How would you define love? It's not very common to include the need to forgive someone in a definition of love, but could that be the core of Biblical love? And what does all this have to do with overcoming the world? Lots of questions—we’ll go in pursuit of answers in this study.
How to Come Back to Life
Our hope-filled study today reminds us of the amazing transformation that is made available to us via the death and resurrection of Jesus. But we’ll also be reminded that we believers share in our Lords’ resurrection today and every day in the future. This is enduring life!
Beyond Tolerance #5
In what situations do love and truth coexist? Are there instances where both simply cannot be active at the same time? These are age-old questions with powerful implications for us today, and we’ll explore those questions in this study.
Beyond Tolerance #4
You’ve probably heard, “I’ve said it, that settles it.” Dad telling us for the 12th time that we’re not getting a pet giraffe? Yes. But can we apply this same finality to claiming to be a Christian? How much weight does a simple statement of our faith carry? We’ll look at this question in our study today.
Beyond Tolerance #3
If it was true many years ago, can it be false today? In some cases, yes. “Most homes have wired phones in them.” True 50 years ago, false today. But what about with spiritual matters? Can what’s true today spiritually be different than what was true 50 years ago, or are there “foundational truths” we can build on? We’ll look at these questions in this study.
Beyond Tolerance #2, Part 2
There are many occurrences of the “light versus darkness” imagery in Scripture. But what does it mean to say that “God is light?” How does that impact the way I do life? We’ll look at those questions in this study.
Beyond Tolerance #2, Part 1
Trying to decide if you’re going to go to church this Sunday? In our study, we’ll take a look at that decision, and whether or not our understanding of church is lining up with what the Bible has to say about the function of church.
Beyond Tolerance #1
The word “tolerance” has certainly gained a lot of traction of late, taking on a greatly expanded weight in our society. Christians are often the focus of accusations regarding tolerance. But what does the Bible have to say about all this? We’ll look at that today.
Genesis - A New Beginning: A New Realization
Yes, the book of Genesis tells us about characters from many centuries in the past. But the reality of the human condition portrayed is completely a part of our world today. Our study points out the dominance of that human condition (and how it’s overcome) as the focus of the entirety of Scripture.
