Love is central to human existence and necessary for the joy, peace, and hope that we all long for. People often try to find or earn love on their own merit, but the only real source of love is God. We can experience true and lasting love when we participate with Him in His mission of love. Today Jeri finishes our Advent series.

Most people in our culture want to be happier. The pursuit of happiness is so central to American ideals that it is written into the Declaration of Independence. The problem with the pursuit of happiness, though, is that it's an emotion, a feeling. Pursuing an emotion or a feeling has the effect of making us erratic, especially since we have such a difficult time trying to figure out what will make us happy. Faith in Jesus offers us something that's like happiness, but it has the effect of making us more stable. That thing is joy. Today, Derek talks about how to be a person of joy.

We have been in the series, Kingdom Justice, which is an overarching picture of God and how He cares tremendously for those who are marginalized or outcast. This week we will take a look at what Jesus has to say about doing justice and the heart of the disciple.

If you pay attention as you read through scripture, one thing that is evident is that God is passionate about those who are not his people. Because this is true, God constantly calls his people to love foreigners. Today, Derek talks about how Christians should think about foreigners.

In some spheres of the church there has been a divide between people who are deeply passionate about personal holiness and people who are deeply passionate about Christian social engagement. But this is a divide that scripture doesn’t have. Today Derek begins our “Kingdom Justice” series by talking about how it is the experience of God’s mercy that propels us into Christian social engagement.
