How to be Human

We're kicking off our summer series in the book of Mark by talking about how the story of Jesus is personal, cosmic, economic, political and relational.

In our final week of Stronger, Nicole uses the relationship between Jesus and Peter to illustrate the power of redemptional love. 

This week we're continuing with our reframe on the conversation around sexuality. How do we view it holistically? And where has the Church gotten it wrong? Let's talk.

Churches often have a narrow view of this conversation- polarizing and hurting people in the process. This week, John wants us to start over in the way we talk about sexuality so we can truly be stronger.

We're continuing our conversation from last week around doubt and deconstruction, but reframing it today by talking about the idea of renewal.

This week, we're talking about the makings of a faith in crisis and a faith that gets stronger. 

Our annual Stronger series on relationships is back (and so are seasonal allergies), and this week Nicole is kicking it off by talking about how we grow stronger by living into the reality of resurrection life. 

Just like Pilate and the crowds had a choice between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Messiah, will we choose a manmade Jesus or Jesus the Christ? 

We're continuing our conversation on suffering- last week we started out talking about God's character and why we can have hope in it, and this week we're zooming out and taking a look at suffering as a whole: what is the cause? Why is there so much of it? What role do humans have to play in all of it? 

To experience suffering in some way is to be human. So how do we suffer well, remembering the character of God and holding on hope to the resurrection? Let's talk about it.
