As we look at the Christian virtue of faith, it is all too easy to have an idealistic view of what that means. However, to live in complete trust of what Jesus says is to invite a level of difficulty and suffering into our lives. Let's jump into Mark 9 and look at different types of faith weaken and grow strong as each heart interacts with the Author of faith.
A worship service turned funeral. Joy turned to sorrow. Praise songs turned to dirges. This was the day David tried to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and was met with tragic results. Worship can often seem spontaneous and without rules, but God's holiness demands we come into His presence His way and not our way. Join us as we look into 2 Samuel 6 to work through the times when worship offends us.
Everyone worships, but not everyone worships the One who is most worthy. It's easy to think of idolatry and false worship as something done by pagans outside of the church but Jesus has His most staunch warnings against idolatry that can happen inside religious communities. Join us today as we explore Romans 1 and Matthew 15 with some help from David Powlison.
