Hot Takes From A Biblical Worldview: Media

July 25, 2021 • Brent Squires • Genesis 11:1–9, Acts 2:1–12

It’s not a stretch to say that social media has completely transformed how we interact with one another. Platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are among the fastest growing forms of how we communicate. However, what started as a fun way to reconnect with old classmates, share vacation photos, check out the latest memes and watch funny cat videos, has now become a political and ideological football that regularly gets spiked in the face of others. It’s not so much the disagreements that social media content often creates, rather it’s the impersonal, dehumanizing, shoot-from-a-distance platform that has made sharing meaningful content practically impossible. What was originally intended to bring us together seems to just perpetuate fear, frustration, conspiracy theories and confusion. As Christians living in an ever-increasing secular world, how do we form a Biblical worldview when it comes to social media? Join us this Sunday to start the discussion.

Hot Takes From A Biblical Worldview

June 20, 2021 • Jeff Supp • Romans 12:2

When you and I look at life and the world around us, we actually look through various lenses that color and shape what we see. This is often a powerful yet subconscious process. But what if we were able to see life through the lens that God provides? How would that shape how we see people, understand the world, and live life? As followers of Jesus, He wants us to become like him and part of that process is to see as he sees. Join us this Sunday as we kick off our new summer series, Hot Takes From A Biblical Worldview, that will explore various aspects of everyday life and take a deeper look at the life God is calling us to.

Hot Takes From A Biblical Worldview: Success

June 27, 2021 • Brian Hopper • Luke 12:13–21

“The American Dream” - “be what you want to be” - “you can have it all” - “all I do is win!“ Who doesn’t want more freedom, a nicer place to live, a newer car, more money in the bank? Isn’t it normal to want to be successful and get ahead in life? Yet, the truth is, the success worldview is a powerful intoxicant that can easily infiltrate our lives and begin to influence us - oftentimes without us even recognizing it. It is so subtle, yet so pervasive. And it promises all sorts of freedom, happiness and fulfillment. But does it really deliver on what it promises? Could success be more than all we possess, attain, achieve or pursue? Join us this week as we take a fun look at the worldview of success and contrast that with what the Bible, specifically Jesus, says about our success.

Hot Takes From A Biblical Worldview: Freedom

July 4, 2021 • Allen Smith • John 8:31–36

Freedom is the most deeply held American value and perhaps one of the last moral absolutes in the West. Unquestionably, individual freedom has done incalculable good in our society, leading the way for civil rights among minorities and women. But does the modern view of freedom as a completely independent, autonomous individual truly bring human flourishing? Join us this Independence Day to hear what Jesus and the Bible says about our personal independence.
