Atonement

Venom

We know that Jesus died for our Sin, but do we understand what those words truly mean? The Atonement is more than a dusty, academic doctrine. It is a living, vibrant promise from God, and when we understand it rightly, we find a freedom unlike anything else we've known. When we sold ourselves to Sin like Adam did, Jesus did all the work to save us!

From Series: "Venom"

Everyone knows the world isn't as it should be. There's a sickness deep within us, a rot in the human heart. The Bible calls that rot Sin, and even though no one likes to talk about Sin, we can't escape its reality. A snake once whispered to us that we could be like God. We believed that lie, and the venom of Sin has been killing us ever since. But God will not abandon us. Why do we talk about sin? Because then we get to talk about how God rescues us from Sin. After we tried to become like God, God became like us, to become our Sin, to save us. Join us the six Sundays of Lent (February 17-March 24) as we explore what Sin is and how God saves us!

Theology for the Rest of Us

Everyone’s a theologian. How can we be good at it?

Mention “theology” and watch everyone shrink back in their chairs. Words like Trinity, Sovereignty and Eschatology scare us away from asking good questions about God, about faith and Christianity. But that’s not how it’s supposed to be! We all talk about God. We’re all theologians, whether we realize it or not. In this class, we’ll rescue theology from the ivory tower.

Theology should invite us to know God better.
