Wrapping up our "On the Table" series, we explore the radical teachings of Paul in Romans 12, where we confront the enigma of overcoming malice with kindness; that holding onto unity and Jesus' exemplary life's work becomes ever more apparent. Learn how the simple, yet profound act of kindness can ignite a moral awakening, and how we, as a community, can rise above societal and political divides to reflect the light of justice and reconciliation.

 

Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Explore the multifaceted nature of love through the lens of the Greek language, where four distinct words paint a complex picture of this fundamental human emotion. We steer the conversation towards understanding how a society's quest for eros, or romantic love, can overshadow the more enduring agape love demonstrated by Jesus. With insights from psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, we acknowledge the often-overlooked emotional repercussions of casual relationships. Listen as we confront the challenge of aligning our modern views with a life-affirming Christian approach to intimacy and connection.

Sexuality and spirituality intertwine in profound ways, yet the conversation often gets lost in whispers. Our journey isn't just about confronting the missteps of the church or the hypersexualized culture around us; it's about rediscovering the beautiful, God-given longing for intimacy that connects to our innermost selves. we grasp how being fully known and loved is what we're really seeking—beyond physicality to the heart of our relationships. And as we peel back the layers of how pornography distorts this quest, we invite a thoughtful consideration of what self-sacrificial love truly looks like.

Look in Christian bookstores at books on marriage and parenting – compare that with books on singleness – very few marriage books argue that marriage is a good thing – that’s accepted. Instead, they talk about all the problems in marriage and how to deal with them. Christian marriage books tell you how to deal with the difficulty of marriage. Books on singleness take a different approach. They almost imply that singleness is a problem. They tell a person how to make the most of the time until the right person comes along. In other words, they say that the solution to the problem of singleness is marriage. And then – “Good news – once you get married, you’re going to have all other kinds of problems and read the marriage books.” The scriptures teach something very different ...

The idea that all religions are equally correct is called “religious relativism”. That all positions are equally correct, and therefore, we shouldn’t evangelize. If you believe some religions are superior to others, then you have to evangelize. But if you believe that no religions are superior to others then you are evangelizing your religious relativism view. Think of it like this; when you urge me not to urge my religion on anybody else, you’re urging your religion on me. You’re evangelizing me not to evangelize. You are doing the very thing you forbid. Up until 150 years ago, all religions got together and said, “Look, we may all be wrong, but we can’t all be right.” If two people contradict one another we say, “You could be wrong and I could be right, or I could be wrong and you could be right, or we could both be wrong, but we can’t both be right.” So the real question is who’s right?

It’s not difficult to get a person interested in the message of the gospel, it is difficult to sustain the interest. Millions of people make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate. In the words of Eugene Peterson, “Many claim to have been born again, but the evidence of mature Christian discipleship is slim.” In the western church there is a great market for religious experience but there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of Christian character. Little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship in what earlier generations of Christians called Sanctification; the process of becoming like Christ. This process involves learning how to implement healthy spiritual habits. But what stands in our way? That’s what this teaching will discuss.

“So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.” – Romans 5:9-11
