Wrath + Atonement

Church Words With Friends

Is God angry at us? Did Jesus pacify a raging deity? Why did God kill his son rather than us? This week, we're diving into God's Wrath and the Atonement because we've got it all wrong. God's wrath is about love (yes, really) and the cross isn't about Jesus vs God, but Jesus vs. us.

What does 'grace' mean? What about 'getting saved' or 'trinity'? Or those $20 churchy words like 'incarnation' and 'atonement'? These words became important because they point at deep, powerful and beautiful truths about who God is and the realities of faith. So let's learn about them... together!

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
