Sin - "The Ratification of Sin"

Sin. The idea no one likes. We either mock the idea of sin through commercials encouraging us to indulge in sin (Eat that extra piece of chocolate!) – or – sin is named as an abusive idea. What could be worse than telling someone they are a sinner? That there is something wrong with them?

 

What if our discomfort with sin is because we have misunderstood what the idea actually is? What is – belief in sin – actually set us free? What if this idea was the key to unlocking a new and joy-filled life.

Join us as we spend the next several weeks unpacking – the surprising freedom of belief in sin.

That should make any curious person interesting in asking – Who was Jesus of Nazareth? What was it about Jesus – that made people from all over the world, from all backgrounds – find their deepest longings met in Him?

Baptism Sunday (2nd)

The person who most altered the course of human history is without question Jesus of Nazareth. Within a few generations of his life and death, millions of humans throughout the world worshipped Him as a god. The movement he started soon included people of all ethnicities, rich and poor, slave and free. They found in Jesus rest from their anxiety, hope for their fears, and comfort from their pain.
