I Want To Believe, But...

About this series

Believing in God isn’t always easy. Maybe you feel like God never answers you, or you struggle to believe because when you read the Bible, it just seems to be filled with violence and hate. Maybe all the Christians you’ve met are hypocrites. This series will explore the reasons you may struggle to believe in and follow God. We’ll discuss who God isn’t, what Christian faith is not about and what we actually are together for. Following Jesus isn’t just a bunch of rules you have to keep or following an invisible God blindly. It’s a relationship, it’s freedom and it’s goodness.

About this message

How can a good God allow violence? It’s one of the most difficult questions of faith. It’s hard to make sense of stories in scripture where God allows violence and destruction. The truth is that God is a warrior against sin and the pain that it causes. There are far more passages about God’s love and mercy than His wrath. The instances where God commands war are rare, and they were always to stop a greater injustice. Even in the midst of war, God also provides a way out for those who will turn to Him. Through the person of Jesus, God has absorbed all our violence, death and sin. The Lord your God is in your midst a victorious warrior, He is mighty to save.
