This Mess is Never Getting Together
Faith isn’t about surety but about suspicions, it is an aspirational orientation, a movement toward something just slightly out of reach, something that propels you to ask and seek and knock—because you don’t know it all yet. When it comes to knowing all the mysteries while we’re here, the mess is never getting fully together, so we should manufacture a little grace for other people and for ourselves—and love everyone well in the mess.

If God is Love, Don't Be a Jerk

What if upon Jesus’ return his first question to us is: “I asked you to do one thing: love. So, what happened?” If God is love and if Jesus is the perfect expression of that love, and if we are supposed to follow that Jesus—how can we so often be love-impaired? For as long as human beings have been declaring devotion to a God of love, they have been gloriously screwing it up by being hateful in the process. The Bible doesn’t shy away from that, and neither should we. Join us as we explore some of the ways we fall short of the call to “love God, self, and neighbor” through the book and sermon series If God is Love, Don’t be a Jerk!
