HARD STUFF #3:  Why God Allows Evil & Suffering

Guest speaker Phil VanderPloeg leads the final session in our HARD STUFF (the things you don’t talk about in church) series, tackling the question of why there is evil and suffering, and where God is in all of it.

The second installment in our hard stuff series covers what the Bible has to say about Government and Politics

The Hard Stuff: What the Bible Has To Say About Sexual Sin

The first installment in our Hard Stuff series looks at what the Bible has to say about sexual sin, including sex outside of marriage, same-sex attraction, and pornography, and how these sins can affect both the believer and the non-believer.

ALEXIA NEWMAN

The director of the Carolina Pregnancy Center shares inspiring stories from their vital ministry that illustrate the power of prayer and how God is working in lives through CPC and their staff.

SESSION #31      HUMILITY

We wrap up the BELIEVE series with this last session on the 10th virtue…humility.  A fitting one to end with, as humility it one virtue that really makes all the others “work”.  What does it mean to walk in humility as a believer?  The answer, contrary to the opinion of some, actually reflects great strength.

SESSION #30      GENTLENESS

Perhaps one of the most misunderstood of the virtues, what is it that meant by gentleness in a culture and day when everything is “look out for #1” and “get all you can for yourself”.  Yet when biblical gentleness is present in a life, much like all the other virtues, God will use it in powerful and meaningful ways.

SESSION #29      FAITHFULNESS…The Virtue of the “Long Haul”

What does it mean to be faithful…to both God and others?  It is one of the fruit of the Spirit, and one that is driven by the faithfulness God has shown to us in our past, and continues to show in the present and future.

SESSION #28      Kindness & Goodness

Two virtues, intertwined, that stem from the deepest recesses of our hearts.  What happens when we move from “a good kind of people” to “people who are good and kind” (hint: the world can’t help but notice!)

Session #27  The Next Virtue…(wait for it!)…Patience!

Why is it we all struggle with “waiting”…even when waiting on God Himself to answer or act?  Patience, our next virtue (and one of the fruit of the Spirit) enables us both to wait well, and to extend patience to others as we understand the great patience God has extended toward us.
