Matthew 1:18-25

God With Us

Pursuing Peace

We live in a culture that values personal rights, and exercising personal rights, even at the expense of others.

When Opinions Collide

The gospel brings together people from different backgrounds, cultures and traditions. Therefore, not every believer will think the same way on every matter: e.g. views on politics, health, climate change, schooling, music—to name a few. How can we maintain unity when our opinions collide?

Romans 13:8-14

Love & Light

The resurrection of Jesus is the dawning of the age to come. His return will bring it in its fulness. Therefore, those who belong to him live in the present age, yet belong to the age to come. How does this shape the way we live in our society today? What obligations do we have to those around us?
