Join us as we wrap our SOULS season with a final word and encouragement about The God Who Sees The Nations and how we can partner with Him to take the gospel to the nations!
The God Who Sees: Your Opponents
February 18, 2024 • John 4:1–30, Acts 17:16–34
It is one thing to think about how God sees us, our neighbor, or those who haven’t heard (the nations). However, it is an entirely different challenge to consider how God sees our opponents. When we think about those who oppose us, the feelings draw upon a deep well of emotions, and something feels much more visceral about the topic. It is easy to feel overwhelmed when people confront us with their objections to the Christian faith, especially nowadays when the objections are so closely tied to how people understand their identity and when disagreement itself is considered offensive and hateful. How can we bridge the seemingly insurmountable gap between the convictions of contemporary culture and the invitation of Christ? How did Jesus do this? How did Paul do this? I am looking forward to being with you this Sunday and exploring these questions together.
The God Who Sees: NEIGHBORS
February 11, 2024
As we enter the second week of our series, "The God Who Sees," we're excited to welcome Sergey, our global partner from Russia, to share his insights. This Sunday, we'll be exploring a fundamental question that touches us all: the concept of neighbors. Jesus urged us to love our neighbors, but does this command look different in the context of Moscow, Russia? Join us as we dive into whether the Christian call to love our neighbors takes on unique shades in this diverse cultural landscape.
The God Who Sees: YOU
February 4, 2024 • Shawn Hart • 2 Samuel 9
Is God nearsighted or farsighted? In other words, does God have vision problems? When confronted with such questions, most people would quickly respond with an emphatic "No, of course not." However, it is surprising how often this assumption underlies many of our inquiries about God: "What about those who have never heard about Jesus?", "Where was God in my suffering?", "Where is God right now?", or "God, do you see me?" We are not alone in these questions.
