In this podcast we introduce a new series called Offensive Christianity in which well explore topics that non-Christians find offensive. Our hope is that after we cut through all of the misunderstandings that are presented as Christian beliefs, the non-believer will find what remains worthy of further consideration. Our first topic is the first topic: creationism.
Christmas has been co-opted by consumerism and secularism. It has lost its true meaning for most people. Therefore it has fallen to us, the followers of Jesus, to remember truthfully and correctly. It has fallen to us to save Christmas.
The Biblical account of creation is one of the most controversial issues for Christianity. The opening chapters of Genesis have caused some to proclaim, that the earth is only 6 to 10 thousand years old, and that humans shared the earth with dinosaurs. For people outside of the church, surely this is one of the most ridiculous claims they have ever heard. The debates over creationism and science seem to be endless. But what if this whole debate is over a mistaken interpretation of Genesis?
In this breif sermon, I explore what the role of the church in the world should be, and how we might relate to the government.
What are we to do with the contradictions we find in the Old Testament? In this first episode of the Context series, Pastor Jim Jones of Community of Faith Church, gives us a view of the OT that embraces the different perspectives found there, and demonstrates just how powerful the OT is for us today!
This is a sermon by Jim Jones on September 1st, 2013 at San Diego Mennonite Church. It addresses the role of the church and the Christian in political engagement.
