How does Christianity answer the question of suffering? Marlin had the pleasure of exploring this question at the events week hosted by the Christian Union of Lancaster University in England.

Listen in if you’re curious to hear whether or not the Christian faith can adequately address the reality of suffering and provide a foundation of hope for a suffering world.

What is the mission of The Church in the time between the first and second coming of Jesus? In Revelation 11 God provides us with vivid and startling pictures of who The Church is to be, how they are to live, what they are to expect, and where they are going.

What happens when Jesus’ kingdom breaks into the world? What should Christians expect in this life as they seek to bring His presence to others? Will God ever bring justice? If God is perfectly righteous, who can stand before Him? We discover the answers to these questions and more as John continues to disclose what he heard and saw as The Lamb of God opens the seven seals and brings about God’s secret plan for the universe.

*We had a brief audio issue between the first and second seals the cut out a small portion of the introduction of the second seal being broken.

John sees a scroll with God’s plan to restore the universe. But no one is able to open it. Is all hope lost? Is life purposeless? Is anyone worthy to open the scroll? Listen in to find out!

*NOTE: Our recording cut off briefly while Marlin was reading verses 11-14 but picks up right as he finishes that portion of the passage

John is pulled into the heavenly realm and what does he see? A throne. What does it mean and why might it change your life? Tune into our Revelation series this week to hear our campus assistant, Andrew Burckhalter, expound another fascinating vision from this baffling book.

*Marlin accidentally cut off the recording midway through the sermon and had to re-record some of it after the fact, so if you notice a weird transition about 9 minutes in that’s why

Christians seem to talk about the cross all the time. But what does it actually mean? Why is it important? Does it matter for your life today? If you’ve ever asked these questions you aren’t alone. We’d love for you to listen in and consider why the death of Jesus on the cross is essential to the Christian faith and a source of unimaginable comfort for us.

Does the gift of singleness mean I’m going to be single forever? If not, what does it mean? Join in on a short convo with our campus minister, Marlin Harris, as we explore these questions and consider what it looks like to be faithful to Jesus in both singleness and marriage.
