The Paradox Church

In week five of A World Made New, Pastor Jim invites us to reimagine our work. In Christ, what has been marked by striving, exhaustion, and self-definition will be restored. No longer driven by the need to prove our worth, our work will flow from it, becoming worship once again.

In week four of A World Made New, Pastor Jim invites us to imagine reconciled relationships. In Christ, what is fractured and strained will be made whole. We will be brought into perfect unity with God and one another, free from fear, insecurity, and division.

In week three of A World Made New, Pastor Jim leads us through 1 Corinthians 15 and the promise of a resurrected body. In Christ, our broken and weary bodies will be made new, raised in power, and freed from weakness and shame.

In week two of A World Made New, Pastor Jim leads us into the renewal of all creation. Romans 8 shows that creation itself is groaning, longing, and waiting to be made new. The brokenness we feel is not the end of the story, but the beginning of renewal.

In the first week of A World Made New, Pastor Jim invited us to reimagine our hope, not as escaping this world, but as God renewing it. Through Revelation 21, we saw that heaven is not where we go, but what comes down, where all things are made new and God dwells with His people.

In the final week of our series through the book of Job, Pastor James reflects on Job 42, highlighting Job’s steadfastness in suffering and the compassion and mercy of God. Even in seasons of hardship, God meets His people with mercy, vindicating those who remain faithful and drawing them deeper into relationship with Him.

In week seven of our series through the book of Job, Pastor Jim reminds us that God does not waste our suffering. Even in pain, He refines our faith and uses it to draw us closer to Himself, our true and lasting treasure.

In week six of our series through the book of Job, Pastor Jim explores chapter 28 and the limits of human answers to suffering. As Job’s friends cling to simplistic systems, we’re reminded that wisdom cannot be mined, bought, or mastered. Instead, true understanding begins with awe-filled trust in God. In a world searching for explanations, we are invited to anchor our hope in this truth: our Redeemer lives.

This week, Pastor Nathan Johnson led us into the Great Commission, reminding us that we are called not to be impressive or successful, but faithful—secure in God’s sovereignty and confident in His promised presence.

In week five of our series on the book of Job, Pastor Jim examines the tension we feel when bad things happen to good people, challenging the formulas we often use to make sense of suffering. Through Job’s honest wrestling, we are reminded that God cannot be reduced to simple explanations and that real faith brings even our hardest questions before Him.
