Defining Moments

Between Two Worlds
11/05/2015 Duración: 30minIn our continuing study of biblical figures who navigated competing cultures and value systems, we appreciate the ambiguity of the book of Esther. The story presents us with a series of actions but no insight into the decision-making process that led to them.

Archive: The Compassion of the Servant
24/04/2015 Duración: 36minThis week, we are flashing back to a sermon Glenn delivered in March 2011. Israel is at a place we are well familiar with: feeling like a barren landscape. Their relationship with God is at a low point morally and spiritually. Injustice is rampant. By way of the prophet Isaiah, they have just learned that they will be sent into exile as severe mercy. However, almost in the same breath, they learn of God’s intention to forgive, restore and renew them. And these grand promises are attached to one who is referred to as “The Servant of the Lord.” In Isaiah 40 we learn of this Servant’s compassion.
