When it comes to being chosen in a favorable sense, we all want to be picked. Whether it’s chosen for the baseball team, as a cheerleader, for the prom, or for the job, we all want to be special.

Our Sacramental Faith
Christianity is a sacramental faith. It is not a faith of mere theological ideas, but of sacraments. Sacrament is an interface between the spiritual and the material, between heaven and earth.

Mankind was created for more than what we’re living for. Created in God’s likeness to bear his image, we strayed far from the life of God.

Sinners In the Hands of a Loving God
The Gospel of John tells us that “no one has ever seen God until they see Jesus.” The revelation of God is given to us in Jesus Christ. And so we must ask ourselves: Does the view of an angry sadistic monster God look like Jesus? Do we see examples of Jesus pouring out vengeful […] The post Sinners In the Hands of a Loving God appeared first on Word of Life Church.
