Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
The thing about love is that we act as if it’s optional. Like we have a choice. Jesus doesn’t actually give us the choice.
-
The dangers of a seemingly anti-semitic passage and the challenge of dealing with what it is actually trying to do.
-
Notice that we don’t say Jesus rose from the dead. The resurrection is not the work of Jesus. It is the work of God in Jesus.
-
The nature of belief is far more interesting than the thing we take it for. It is bold and decisive and not at all “traditional”.
-
In the famous story of Thomas and belief, we get to wrestle with our sense of witness. And how we come to believe.
