The claims of Christianity are exclusive because our relationship with God is not based on sincerity, morality, or religion, but on the person of Jesus. But our attitude toward those who believe differently should be marked by gentleness and respect.
The idea that faith and science are incompatible is mostly due to misunderstanding the nature, function and limits of both.
Most of us treat the Bible as a collection of disconnected verses given to us by God to provide wisdom, guidance, and comfort. But it is better understood as a collection of writings that tell one epic story of God, creation, his people, and redemption.

Although we don’t live in a culture where people routinely bow down to idols carved from wood or stone, much of the pain and suffering we endure is due to the idolatry of our hearts. This week we’ll get honest with ourselves and God as we uncover how power, wealth, and sex continue to trap people as unrelating masters, while the gospel has power to set people free.
Our conversations with God are meant to be two-way, meaning we both speak AND listen.
Bringing your honest questions and doubts to God is an important part of developing an authentic faith.
Christmas means that when we walk through hard times, we never walk alone.

The book of Jonah is a character study of a runaway prophet who would rather die than extend God’s message of mercy to his enemies. This book acts as a mirror to reveal our character and compels us to trust in the magnitude of God’s loving justice and mercy for all of humanity.
