My Least Favorite Verses – Part Four – Beyond What You Can Bear

05/23/2021 – My Least Favorite Verses – Part Four – Beyond What You Can Bear

1 Corinthians 10:12-13. Colloquially, in Christian circles, there is a verse from Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth that often gets (mis)quoted something like this, “The Lord will not give you more than you can bear.” I’m coming to believe that while this verse does indeed contain a promise, it may not be the promise we’ve made it out to be.

My Least Favorite Verses – Part Two – Darker Still

05/09/2021 – My Least Favorite Verses – Part Two – Darker Still

Proverbs 24:17; Obadiah 1:11-14; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7​. There is a terrible, awful, sickly, cancerous, but wickedly satisfying sin that often takes root in the deconstruction (critical thinking) phase of faith. Most people who move out of “construction” faith into “deconstruction” faith are drawn to this sin like a thirsty man to water. What is it? And how can it be stopped?

Changes – Part Three – Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames

04/25/2021 – Changes – Part Three – Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames

Revelation 22:12-17. We Evangelicals often conflate our thoughts and doctrines and dogmas to be the gold standard, and reflective of all Christianity. But they are not. When it comes to thoughts and doctrines on hell, perhaps we need to listen to some different and older voices, and perhaps we need to revisit the last verses in Revelation as we might just be surprised.

Changes – Part One – The Wrath

04/11/2021 – Changes – Part One – The Wrath

Romans 5:6-11; Luke 15:11-24. When our theology says “God doesn’t change”, it makes reimagining God really hard, because it feels as though we are changing God and being unfaithful. But perhaps spiritual change — even radical spiritual change — is not an abdication of faith, but rather, evidence of it.

03/21/2021 – Upon This Rock – Part Seven – More Thoughts from First Peter

1 Peter 2:11​—3:9. The letter of 1 Peter contains some controversial texts. But when we look closer these texts point to the larger theme of the letter … suffering and how we respond to it. To watch this message on our YouTube channel, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq5X93F7cbU&t=842s
