AudioThere are many today who are suspicious of faith and belief; seeing it as contrary to knowledge and
reason. Faith is spoken of as blind and belief as that which is held despite the evidence. Tonight, we will explore Hebrews 11:3 in search of understanding the nature of faith.

The Journey # 1
Dave Marttunen
Audio / Questions / LeadersBefore we plan a trip, the very first decision on which all others hang is this: “Will I go?” No move happens until we are motivated to go. What would it take to make you move? For some, the answer is opportunity; they are moving towards something. For others, it‟s a move away from something. And for others yet, it‟s a bit of both; moving towards as we move away. The story of „The Journey‟ in Exodus follows a predictable formula, better to go than to stay. Staying put for Israel was a vote to be a slave, to have less, to be content with pain, hurt, humiliation, and deprivation. For Israel it was definitely better to go than to stay. In Exodus 1, we read the account of how God prepared Israel for moving day, and in their story we discover our own story; how God frequently works to move us from where we are to the future we have always wanted.

AudioWe are rarely uncertain about Christ's command to love and forgive others as God loves and forgives us. Perhaps you are among the many who are haunted by your own inability to forgive. If so, you can take heart for here in Matt 18 Jesus tells his own disciples (and us) how to deal with our unforgiving hearts.

Audio / Questions / LeadersIt is quite clear that we live in a society that cannot fathom Christian sexual rules. Quite frankly, although I have understood Christian boundaries with regards to sex, I have not until recently fully appreciated the reason for these boundaries. When you are surrounded by the worship of sex and romantic love, it is hard to hold a contrary perspective. Yet, as I have grown to understand God‟s intentions for sex, I more fully appreciate God‟s guidelines.

AudioJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Yet, do our lives imitate the consistency and faithfulness of our Saviour? Does our security and confidence lie in the faithfulness of God, or are we too easily swayed and moved by the various teachings of the day? Looking at Hebrews 13, we will consider these and other questions
regarding living out our faith in the nitty gritty of daily life.

Audio / Questions / LeadersFreedom is a high value in our culture. We have fought and died for it, as our poppies remind us. Our passion for freedom, however, sometimes collides with the concept of absolute truth. Anyone who believes there is truth that must be accepted by all people is an enemy of freedom. How then should we understand Jesus when he says in John 8 that knowing the truth will set us free? Freedom does in fact rely on the truth and the truth of Christ liberates our souls.
