(Luke 23:33-43 & Colossians 1:16-18) Revenge can feel like the right thing to do; even animals do it! But when we look closely at Jesus on the cross a very different picture emerges (4/4 Fear, Grief and a Far Away God).

(Isaiah 65:17-25 & Luke 21:16-19) Little kids will ask "why" on repeat, but that doesn't make it a meaningless question. As we deal with loss it can be the most important question we ask (Fear, Grief & A Far Away God).

(Genesis 50:1-21 & Matthew 10:29-31) Fear can stem from all sorts of places, but what's the right way to respond to it? The dreamer, Joseph, had a word for his fearful brothers that still speaks to us today (Fear, Grief and a Far Away God 2/4).

(Job 23:1-17 & Matthew 13:10-12) A major loss or a death in the family can rock our world and make us question everything. Job went through that and his experience points us to how to handle 'the dark night of the soul' (Fear, Grief and a Far Away God 1/4).

(Luke 6:27-37, 41-42 & Proverbs 25:21-22) A major trauma can reveal unknown enemies, just as a personal violation can. Jesus taught a way of dealing with this that has shaped the last two thousand years. Hear about a way forward even when your gut points you in the wrong direction (The Guilty Church 4/4).

(John 13:21-35 & Leviticus 17:11) After washing his friends' feet and warning them about Judas betraying him, Jesus gets down to business about what really makes us happy. When we are deeply and truly happy, we are also right with God (The Guilty Church 2/4).

(Deuteronomy 11:13-17, Leviticus 19:17-18 & Matthew 5:17-20) Our views change can on things, but what about God? Sometimes the Old and New Testament might look like God is changing. Is that true? Find out in 'From Age to Age' (Guilty Church 1/4).

(Matthew 23:12-20 & Ephesians 5:11-14) Life can have unexpected curve balls in it, but maybe those curves can do some good for us. Jesus through a curve at the religious leaders of his time, but with a very specific purpose in mind (The Tears of Things 4/4).

(Lamentations 3:1-23 & Ezekiel 37:1-6) Sometimes the world can seem so broken we can't do anything but cry. An ancient tradition among the prophets included not only tears, but a far more profound innovation that would change the world (Tears of Things 3/4).

(Micah 4:1-3 & Luke 8:26-31) In our age of outrage violence seems to be the answer for everything, but evil isn't cured by violence. We need to work toward something far bigger if we are going to see our nation thrive (The Tears of Things 2/4).
