The scariest monsters are those that come from within!

Reasonable Faith

Rooted

Christians often treat Reason as an enemy of faith. From science and philosophy to psychology and questioning, we demonize those who use their minds as opponents of faith. But Jesus commands us to love God with all our minds. So what does that look like? How can Reason be a path to a deeper relationship with God?

From Series: "Rooted"

How do we know God? Not just know about God, but have a deep, personal relationship with the creator of the universe - how do we KNOW God? In this series, we'll explore our four sources of knowing God: what we experience in our life, the cloud of witnesses we call the church both local and universal, our ability to reason and the Scriptures. How does each of these four sources help us better know God?

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
