Fake News Part 1

I Dream of Genie

January 22, 2023 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Samuel 4:1–11

Give

(1 Samuel 4:1-11) – January 22: The Office’s, Michael Scott, famously said, “I’m not superstitious, but I'm a little-stitious." Some Christians are a “little-stitious” as well, treating God like a good luck charm or a genie. But the real God doesn’t reside in a bottle…He sits on a throne.

February 12, 2023 • Pastor Matt Horne • Psalm 22, Isaiah 40:27–31

The Man on the Moon (Psalm 22; Isaiah 40:27-31) – February 12: The most troubling image of God isn’t the one who is weak, nor the one who is evil, but the one who is indifferent. What are the consequences of believing in a “God” who created us and then said, “Good luck?” It may be more destructive than you think.

February 5, 2023 • Pastor Matt Horne • Numbers 14:18, Romans 2:4, Hebrews 12:1–17

(Numbers 14:18; Romans 2:4; Hebrews 12:1-17) – February 5: Many people inside and outside of the Christian faith envision God as some kind of cosmic killjoy, always ready to point out our failures. Contentment comes when we realize that Christianity isn’t primarily about what God wants from us, but what He wants for us.

January 29, 2023 • Pastor Matt Horne • Exodus 4, Exodus 3

Some situations have the ability to leave us completely hopeless, so that nothing and no one is able to help. There’s one principle that desperate Christians fail to recognize in that moment: Perhaps the greatest problem isn’t weak faith, but a weak “God.”
