Kindness & Goodness

Tree of Life

Kindness and Goodness point us back to creation. Both words describe what happens when people live the way God created us to. We easily chose to be kind and good when there's something in it for us - we give to get. But followers of Jesus live in the light of God's kindness to us. We choose to be kind and good as a response to what God has already done for us. We give because we've already received!

The Scriptures are full of symbols, metaphors and ideas that don’t make a lot of sense to our modern ears. From the evil of the oceans and living water to temples and gods, much of the language we find in the Scriptures points to a worldview very different from 21st century America. In this class, we’ll explore these ideas, examine where they influence the Scriptures. We’ll also find those same ideas in popular culture today, everywhere from books and movies to philosophy and politics. We’ll discover that the Scriptures truly are good news for all peoples in all times.

We’ll learn a bigger picture of Jesus’ good news that helps us to engage our contemporary culture with love, grace and truth.
