Todd Jordan
Greetings: 

 

"Wives submit to you husbands...children, obey your parents in everything." Are you kidding me? Paul wrote these words almost 2000 years ago, but what do they mean? Are they relevant today, or is it simply a reflection of his social context? Join me this Sunday as I venture forth into this murky minefield in order to discover a balanced understanding of healthy relationships that is scriptural,         Godly, reasonable and relevant.

 

 

                       Dr. Todd Jordan,

                       Senior Pastor

New Directions Class Study "Respectable sins "

Have Christians become so preoccupied with "major" sins that we have lost sight of our need to deal with more subtle sins? Navigator author Jerry Bridges addresses the "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, including pride and anger. He goes to the heart of the matter, exploring our feelings of shame and grief and opening a new door to God's forgiveness and grace. Travel down the road of spiritual formation with Jerry and discover your true identity as a loved child of God."   Come join us this coming Sunday, January 25th in Room 207.
