Après church

We’ve spent a couple of weeks thinking about the subject of atonement and what the death of Jesus was for and how it affects us today.  It is good to dwell on the momentousness of what Jesus endured or we are in danger of missing out of the full meaning of the Cross.  The […]

Last week we discussed God becoming man. What did it mean for Jesus to be fully human? Did he fight with his brothers? When did he become conscious that he was God? We talked about Jesus being humble, living a fully human life yet failing to take on the characteristics associated with powerful people. If God became […]

I got thinking about angels/demons after we discussed the fall - weeks ago I know.  Putting my thoughts into words isn’t my particular strong point, neither is theology so I decided to buy a book by Billy Graham to help me write.  Looks good, trouble is, I haven’t had time to read it so I’ll just […]

Changing the theme a bit here, I was concerned last week that there was a bit too much talk of who’s in and who’s out.  I think it has been fashionable in the last 100 years in the church to be preoccupied with heaven and hell - which I’m sure we will talk about over […]

Topic of the week:  Incarnation
All of history, everything that has happened from the […]

We’ll have a chance to go a bit deeper with much of the discussion from last week as we continue to think about whether God is still involved in His world and in our lives.
Topic of the week…Providence
God didn’t lose interest in His creation once He’d created it.  Nor did He abandon it to its own […]
