As kids, we were told time and time again, if you were to ever catch fire you need to stop, drop, and roll. Although we were warned about something that had a low chance of coming to pass, we were prepared. When we’re dealing with life’s challenges, God tells us how to overcome. Will we listen to His instructions? We’ll learn more today with Pastor Max Girgenti.
Why would God allow suffering into the lives of those He loves most? Dr. John explores the wisdom of God, rooted in Psalm 104, and traces it from the design of creation to Paul's own "thorn in the flesh." He unpacks why the cross — foolishness to the world — is actually the deepest expression of God's wisdom, and why the hardships God allows are never random, but purposeful.
The Kind Attributes of God: We often set God's love against His justice, as if the two pulled in different directions. But Scripture reveals a fuller picture. In this five-message series, Dr. John explores the kind attributes of God — His faithfulness, love, goodness, grace, and wisdom — showing how each one reveals a God who never gives less than the ideal, and whose kindness shapes everything He does in our lives.

As adults, we can navigate change pretty well, but younger kids are much more likely to struggle with it. As parents, we need to patiently listen to our children, answer their questions honestly, and shepherd them through the upheaval of change — and ultimately point them to the unchanging love and security of God.

What are the credentials for ministry? That is what we look at this week as we follow Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians. Paul is experiencing challenges to his authority, but instead of defending himself he points to the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit—lives transformed in Christ. We are reminded that our sufficiency comes from God alone, and ministry has no power apart from Him. It is by God's grace that we are saved, equipped, and sent to share the Hope of Christ. Join us on Live in the Light as we learn the true credentials for Ministry from 2 Corinthians 3:1-6.
