The Shape of Grace: Race

The Shape of Grace: Dealing with Race
*Please note the sermon recording begins shortly after the actual beginning of the sermon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The topic of race is current, complex, painful and divisive. The more America becomes racially and ethnically diverse, the more the tensions are seen and felt. Racism is not a thing of the past and the Church is not immune.

How does the Bible help us think about this issue? Through a controversy between the two most influential leaders of the early church, we learn how grace shapes our view of race.

Sexuality, Part II

Glenn Hoburg — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 15:28:36 +0000

Whether it’s emotional, physical or spiritual intimacy – intimacy is intimacy. We find in the Bible some key theological ideas that actually inform and shape our sexuality for both married and single alike. As they do, they in turn, point us to our spiritual intimacy with God.

How Grace Shapes Our View of Disappointment

Russ Whitfield — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:21:39 +0000

It has been said that every person is either headed into disappointment, disappointed, or on their way out of disappointment. This can often leave us with the feeling that God has failed us or forgotten us. However, John 11 shows us how grace shapes our view of disappointment.
