Faith vs. Feelings

Lent is for Losers

All too often, we equate faith with feeling. If we don't feel God, we must lack faith. But true faith is trusting God's character and calling even when we don't sense God's presence. By responding in faith to God, we find a deeper faith than we thought possible.

From Series: "Lent is for Losers"

Too often, we think faith is about winning - getting our way in the culture or in our homes. But during Lent, we'll trace the human journey through the Old Testament and see that getting what we want never works out like we hope. We'll see how Jesus enters into our failure and becomes a loser just like us. Somehow, his failure is good news for us. It turns out God is for losers, which is good news for all us failures.

Great Science Fiction offers visions of a utopian future where humans have achieved peace and prosperity through progress. But Jesus’ resurrection challenges the assumption that humans can save ourselves. In this series, we’ll examine some of the most famous sci-fi visions of the future against the image of the Church we find in 1 Peter and see how the Spirit at work in us is the true hope of the world.

Jesus’ resurrection changed everything. Welcome to the future.
