When Your Faith Collides With Science
March 24, 2019 • Lance Lawson
A recent study showed that three out of ten young adults with a Christian background feel that “churches are out of step with the scientific world we live in.” This shouldn’t surprise us. There are countless stories of followers of Jesus who, upon entering college, find their faith confronted by their freshman biology class. The tension mounts: do I choose my faith over science or vise versa? But what if you don’t have to make that choice? What if there was a constructive path where you could both embrace your faith and not only be non-antagonistic to science, but more than open to it? In Faith and Science, the teaching team will guide you to those very answers and, maybe, discover a new way of understanding (and living out) your faith in a scientific world.

ABOUT THE SERIES: In a society that’s continually changing, how can followers of Jesus live out their faith in the real world in real, concrete ways that demonstrate fidelity to Christ and his kingdom? In the latest series, Living Responsibly, the CCCC Teaching Team will look at what Romans 12-16 tells us about followers of Jesus can specifically and practically honor God in the world around them. Join us not to learn about the Christian life in abstract, but in a way that honors God in our everyday experience. Note: Due to Hurricane Harvey, this series was cut short.
The Lost Things

About the Series: Seems like everyone has opinions about what God is like and about the kind of people God loves. But, are they right? Jesus often began with the phrase, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” then told a simple story revealing the true character of God. These stories, called parables, expose and confront how mistaken we often are about both God and his Kingdom. The parables reveal God as more loving and gracious than we ever imagined! “It’s Like This…” will invite you to rethink your understanding of God and encourage you to draw near and learn more about him.

About the Series: Your relationship with your father shapes your life in many ways. Your sense of confidence, your emotional health, your capacity to love, your ability to forgive and your view of God can be impacted by the kind of relationship you have with your dad, whether that relationship is good or bad. The good news is, regardless of the kind of relationship you have or had with your father, you can thrive in life. But you will have to deal with Daddy Issues. So whether your father is alive or dead, whether you are six or sixty, male or female, rich or poor—Daddy Issues matter!
Greater Relationships

About the Series: Love. Career. Kids. House. Sports. Retirement. Education. Money. The things we strive for are constantly jockeying for position. How do we decide what is most important? Who or what deserves our time? But what if we’ve been thinking about this all wrong? What if we’ve let the important things in life override Jesus Christ, the greatest of all things? Paul’s letter to the Colossians declares that life with a “less than" version of Jesus only works for so long. In our series Jesus is Greater, we will examine what it practically looks like to live believing that Jesus truly is GREATER.
