Steve Cree spoke to us from Romans 1:18-23 & 1 John 4:1-12. Jesus didn’t come to set up a religion but to put an end to it. Religion(s) came after the fall as this rebellious world became a god-factory. However the true God who we rejected re-entered the world to end all the religion, dying [...]

On Sunday I got the opportunity to explain to our congregation what I have been up to in terms of year 13 and what’s coming up. The downside was I didn’t really get to explain what I’ve found encouraging, or challenging, about it all so far, except to a few people that I got to [...]

Last week, we looked at the question, How could a good God allow suffering? We looked at pain and suffering, and how the answer is found in Jesus.
We all know and can see that war results in pain and suffering, and in a few weeks we will look more closely at the question: isn’t the [...]

This is an interesting question that relates to the question preached on last Sunday ‘how could a good God allow suffering?’
I reckon one of the strange stories in the Bible is a story about rape, circumcision and murder. You can read about it in Genesis 34.
In brief Dinah one of Jacob’s daughters is raped by [...]

This was the gist of a few questions that we included under the big heading, “Why does a good God allow suffering?” In particular, people seemed most troubled by bad things happening to children – the most innocent or at least vulnerable members of society.
But to get to the bottom of this one, we really [...]

Have you ever heard 3 people tell the same story but notice that there were slight differences in the details? Last term, someone asked the question:
The gospel can’t seem to agree on who actually saw the resurrected Jesus at first. Different people in each of the Gospels. If God’s word is present throughout the Bible, [...]

Steve Cree spoke to us from Romans 8:18-27. Suffering traces its source back to the fall – sin (God made creation with a driver’s seat for us to drive it his way… we chose our own adventure and the whole thing smashed). God didn’t have to do anything about it – other than wipe us [...]

Outline:
1. the facts about the Bible
2. the facts about this question
