Todd Jordan
Greetings: 

 

 

We are called to Pay It Forward! But how? Especially in a society all too cynical and mistrusting of institutional Christianity?  How do we get the world on board with God's saving grace?  What if we conspired to overwhelm worldly cynicism and mistrust with kindness? What if we let actions speak more soundly than words? What if our whole congregation conspired to perform Acts of Random Kindness into the world for the purpose of introducing people to God's free gift of love? What if we did so as a means to both communicate what we believe and establish a starting point from which an authentic relationship can emerge? Not simply kindness for kindness sake, but also a vehicle through which one begins to introduce a relationship with the one who created kindness. What if? Come and hear more about Paying It Forward, Part 5: The ARK Conspiracy, from Acts 9:32-35 this Sunday.

Summer  Study

 

 Wednesday evenings @ 7:00 pm in Room 114. 

Do you have questions about God, questions about Jesus Christ, questions about the Bible?

If God is all loving and all powerful, why

 do people suffer?

Isn't the Bible full of contradictions?

 Why are there so many different interpretations?

Join us to discuss "Letters From A Skeptic: A son wrestles with his father's questions about Christianity" by Dr. Gregory A. Boyd.

 

Childcare will be provided
