Jesus In: The Prophets
For many of us, reading about God’s wrath in the Old Testament is more than a little unsettling. It seems strange to us that a God of love could cause so much destruction, and we certainly don’t turn to those passages when we need to be comforted. But what if God intended those passages for our comfort? What if we have missed something important? What if those passages are meant to tell us about Jesus? This week, we’ll see how even the wrath in the Old Testament can fill us with hope and captivate us with Jesus.

This Week's Message: "The Way of the Exile" by Pastor Steve Durand
We don’t often think about it, but the theme of “exile” is one of the biggest themes in all of the Bible. And the reason why it is so helpful to consider the various Old Testament stories of Israel when they were in exile, taken from their homes and immersed into a new culture that was hostile to God and to their faith, is because it helps us to think about the question: How do I live out my Christian faith today, while residing in a fragmented culture that is frequently indifferent or even hostile to my faith, and that does not sustain and support the deepest needs of my heart?
Join us for this week’s message, as we explore practical principles for living a believing life in a largely unbelieving world.
