Part 3 of the Seeing with New Eyes: Revisiting Common Christian Beliefs:
Thirty-one percent of the world believes in Jesus. Was Jesus a mere historical figure? Was he who he claimed he was? How does one know for sure? In the face of doubts and uncertainty, how can we come to know if Jesus truly was the Son of God? In this talk, we explore the journey of faith that each of us faces as we seek a personal connection to Jesus.
Part 2 of the Seeing with New Eyes: Revisiting Common Christian Beliefs
One of the most challenging ideas posed to Christianity is the existence of suffering and a powerful God of Love. How does one reconcile these two facts presented in the Bible? This talk seeks to begin the discussion of this challenging topic.

Mental health is often neglected or stigmatised; yet it is vital for us to address as individuals and as a community. Explore with us how God says it’s OK to be not OK.
Guest speaker Nathan Brown: Often justice and evangelism are set up as competing ways to express our faith, but when we re-examine the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) in the context of the ministry and mission of Jesus, we can appreciate our enactment of the kingdom of God in our work for justice and in giving an invitation to follow Jesus.

As we finish our series on 1 John, we are going to examine why we need Jesus, not only for avoiding sin, but for experiencing love.
God has created a truly diverse and amazing world. On Saturday I shared about the Japanese puffer fish that creates complex and beautiful sand art on the sea floor to attract a female using only its fin.
Another creature that astounds me with their innate skills is the tailorbird.
