How we interpret the Bible is of the utmost importance, because how we interpret the Bible determines how we apply the Bible and how we apply the Bible carries eternal significance.

For many of us, part of the problem with our relationship with the Bible is that we’ve never really stopped to consider the question, ‘What is the Bible really for?’

We kicked the Year of Biblical Literacy with a four-part mini-series called ‘The Bible & Authority.’ This first week we talked candidly about some of the problems that we have with the Bible.

Listen in on Philip Pattison, Executive Director for Foster The Bay, talk to our church about getting involved in serving the foster care community in our communities.

Too many Christians see the church as “just an implication of the gospel” instead of thinking, “this is the whole point of the good news – God forming a people for His glory and the good of the world."

Our Western culture has has conditioned us to avoid pain/sorrow/suffering at all costs. But if we spend our whole lives simply trying to avoid suffering, you will miss Jesus and his gospel!
