Ed Noble

Message Summary: As human persons we experience many temptations. But there are at least three temptations of spirit: the temptations to pretend, despair and to judge our own value and worth by our performance. In 1 John 1 we see that life is all about connection with God who is light. So how do flawed, darkness-infected people experience connection with light? John goes on to tell us that the way to connect is through a practice called confession. Instead of pretending, we confess. Instead of judging ourselves, we trust God as the one who sacrificed Himself for our sin.

Mark Oestreicher

Mark Oestreicher — Journey regular and founder of The Youth Cartel Aspirational Faith: The Beauty of Knowing Less and Wanting More Message Summary: There is a story in Mark about a man who asks Jesus to heal his son. In that conversation, the man cries out to Jesus, “I believe, help my unbelief!” In the paradox of having both doubt and belief, we find an invitation to bring our whole selves to Jesus without shame. When we remain open to “aspirational faith”, we also find ourselves less fearful, cynical, and judgmental. Although it seems counter-intuitive, we can set into place practices to help us celebrate where our doubts can lead us, rather than be shamed by them.
