One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

The challenge is that love is far easier to talk about than to do. We think of love as sentimental, but it's hard to put into practice and difficult to get it right. We know we are to love each other, and yet we find it hard. This message will provide some help.

It's an ironic shift of terms today when we think of worship in consumeristic terms, when biblically, the consumer of worship is God. We need to understand what it means to truly worship God together.

Some people today say they're spiritual but not religious. They want Jesus, the Bible, and spiritual things, but they don't want the church. But it's so important that we stay with the community of God's people and gather as a church.

We tend to think in Christian circles that grace is something that is easy to understand. No one fails to obtain the grace of God, right? Grace is not self-generated, it's a gift that we all need.

The word justification is often not really understood. Yet in many ways it is the heart of the Christian faith. We need to grasp it, and Paul helps us do that.
