Freedom [Signs of Life 06]

Romans 6:15-23 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos

Life is full of paradoxes that make our life either run or crash, depending on how you look at it. Humans are full of contradictions and God knows it! He has chosen many paradoxes to reveal who he is and to show us what it looks like to follow him. Would you join us as we study one of the biblical paradoxes? Dive deep with us into the paradox of grace

Romans 6:12-14 // Gabriel Coyle

One of the greatest battles of history is not “out there,” but rather, is “in here.” Herein lies a crucial insight as to why following Jesus can be so hard. There is a battle being waged not just with our bodies but in our bodies. 

Join us as we continue to see in the book of Romans what Jesus has rescued you and me for, and how we can actually live this out.

Romans 6:1-11 // Gabriel Coyle

When we think of rescue, it’s natural to ask: “Rescue from what?” But with Jesus, rescue is more! When God sought to rescue creation from brokenness, injustice, sin and death, he always planned to save us “for” a more beautiful, good, and true way of being. 

Jesus didn’t just save us from sin but for life—with him—now and forever. But how is life with God different from life without God? And why would anyone actually want that kind of life? Join us as we continue walking through the Letter of Romans to explore what God has in store for your life and mine today.

Psalm 13:1-6; Mark 15:33-39 // Caleb Jenkins

“I used to go to church and pray, and then my best friend got sick and died… How can I believe in God when that happened?” My friend told me this in 7th grade, and it would be the first but not last time I would hear what I would later learn that theologians and philosophers call “the problem of evil”. Why does an all good and all powerful God permit evil and suffering?

While God does not give us an answer to our “why” question, he does show us “how” to find meaning through suffering and experience that we are not alone. Join us as we learn how to lament our suffering with God through Psalm 13.

Matthew 22:15-22 & Titus 3:1-3 // Gabriel Coyle

How should Christians relate to politics and the government? No doubt you have some negative examples of what Christians should NOT do, but what is the Christian calling in our political environment?

Thankfully God’s word and Christians throughout history have wrestled through this very question. Join us as we continue to explore difficult questions aimed at the Christian faith and specifically seek clarity of faithful and fruitful presence in a politically heightened time.

If you are not a Christian and the Christian sex ethic has seemed despairing or if you’re a Christian who is wrestling with how to understand the Christian sex ethic, you’re not alone. What if this disorientation comes from something deeper? Join us as we walk through another frequent question raised in our world where the church can offer hope.

Genesis 1:26-28; Luke 10:38-42 // Gabriel Coyle

Whether through painful experiences within the church or hearing of the mistreatment of women by certain Christians, the question can arise: Is Christianity Good for Women? Join us as we explore hard questions and see what God has to say about women's experiences in his church.

Luke 24:13-35; 2 Tim. 3:16-17 // Nydiaris Hernández-Santos

The Bible is an ancient collection of writings that tells a unified, coherent story about God’s salvation plan. But if it was written and compiled thousands of years ago, why should we trust it today? Why should it guide our lives? 

Join us as we explore why the Bible is trustworthy and why it should inform how we live our lives in today’s world.

Matthew 16:17-19; Ephesians 3:20-21 // Gabriel Coyle

Disagreement, hurt, frustration, and abuse. There are a lot of reasons to dismiss the church, but there may very well be more reasons to give her a second look. What if there is a more enchanting story of the church and Jesus?

Join us as we begin a new series exploring some of the sincere questions and frustrations we have with the Christian faith, the “But what about…” questions of faith. Together we may find a both/and rather than either/or story of our deepest wrestlings.
