Lamb Living

Identity Crisis

Forgiveness in the face of injustice is difficult. Seeking reconciliation is even harder – it often feels wrong not to fight back. But Revelation shows us a Jesus who is not a conquering lion, but a slaughtered lamb. And his sacrificial forgiveness and reconciliation – as demonstrated when he appears resurrected to Peter – make him worthy to rule the universe. How can we imitate his example?

From Series: "Identity Crisis"

Why is it so hard for the Church to live as Jesus in the world? Why such a sharp divide between the love and mercy of God and the way Christians interact with each other and the world? The Revelation offers us a powerful picture of who the Church is called to be: a reflection of Jesus in the world. By listening to them with pictures of Jesus from John's gospel, we see a clear picture of who we are called to be.

When you think of idol, you think of a little statue. But idols can be anything that distracts or distances us from God. During Lent, we’re going to look at some of the most popular idols in our culture. We’ll see what they are, and how they pull us away from God. We’ll also discover the better way God calls us to. Join us as we discover the identities of these American gods, and turn from them to follow the one and only true God.

So who are these American Gods?
