(Matthew 5:33-48 & 2 Chronicles 7:14)

(Matthew 5:17-26 & Proverbs 17:9) Pastor Brian meets with a Rabbi in town to discuss the situation in Gaza, as well as to reflect on the question of whether forgiveness ought to be offered after such violence. Does repentance matter when it comes to offering forgiveness? (Forgive and Forget 1/3)

(Luke 10:25-37 & 1 John 4:16) Fighting and arguments can lead us to reflexive responses that may not be terribly helpful to us. Is there a more spiritual way when we are confronted by others? See what Jesus teaches, even when that person confronting us is a sworn enemy (Grace Everyday 5/5).

(Mark 2:23-3:6 & Matthew 11:28-30) Working on Sunday might feel perfectly ordinary to some, while it feels downright sinful to others. What do we make of this? Is there a right way to give ourselves rest and experience God's grace through it? (Grace Every Day 4/5)

(Ezra 9:5-12 & Daniel 2:20-23) Things can change from one season to another, but we need to always be ready with a mindset that helps us grow and connect in a deeper and fuller way with Jesus Christ (Grace Everyday 3/5).

(Exodus 33:7-17 & 2 Corinthians 4:6-7) Moses had an incredible face to face relationship with God, but it didn't seem to do much for the nation of Israel. See what happens, though, when a person who has God's grace fights for more of God's grace (2/5).

(Genesis 6:5-14 & Matthew 24:37-39) Noah and the flood usually makes us think of God punishing us, but through the eyes of grace, and the blessing of the natural world, we can see something very different. Hear how grace was at work even in the very beginning. (Grace 1/5)

(Matthew 16:21-28 & Jeremiah 29:11-13) When people are mean we can have all kinds of responses, but what are we supposed to do? Instead of fighting back or ignoring it, Jesus shows an entirely different approach.

(Revelation 20:11-21:5a & Isaiah 65:17-18) God says 'all things will be made new' but what might that really look like? Some think it will happen after disaster, or that its symbolic, but, in the end, when something is made new it can lead to a transformation of everything (Revelation 6/6).

(Revelation 14:1-13 & Daniel 7:13-14) Though the world seems in chaos, the Book of Revelation reminds us there will be a remnant that will remain faithful to the cause of Christ. Be inspired to stand strong even when it seems like everyone is divided. (Revelation, 5/6)
