How to Lose

The Way, Way Back

Have you ever won a battle but lost a war? Maybe you got the upper hand in an argument but lost the relationship. Or landed the deal at the expense of a colleague. Or got your way but caused an alienation that’s ongoing to this day. We’re often too short-sighted, and allow the wrong priorities to cloud our judgment. Jacob’s 20-year feud with his uncle Laban shows us the fruit of that kind of conflict. How can we seek God’s grace and affirm the dignity of everyone we meet?

From Series: "The Way, Way Back"

What's Summer without a road trip? We're travelling back to the stories of the Patriarchs - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. They lived on the road, and in their travels, they encountered God in strange and unexpected ways. What do we learn about God on the road that we can't learn when we stay in our comfort zones? How might God be calling us to go somewhere new, following after our creator?

Star Wars. Avatar. Up. When a story resonates with so many people it becomes a blockbuster, we should ask, “Why? What is it about this film that resonates with us?” People of faith can gain a window into desires of our culture, and we can discover how the Spirit is at work, that we might join in!

What can we learn about faith by interacting with the stories our world loves?
