THE BEAUTY OF THE BIBLE OVERVIEWIn increasing measure, our society is embracing the idea that people should live in the way which makes most sense to them. The common belief is that people should ‘follow their hearts’. After all, people’s hearts couldn’t possibly lead them wrong…right?So, the concept of a book which professes to hold the truth, and which sets boundaries, rules, and values that everyone should live by is often considered, at best, laughable, and at worst, dangerous.In this message, Chris Danes will help us consider the Bible’s value on objective truth against society’s value on subjective truth, and challenge us to think about which we will choose to put our trust in.SERMON SERIES‘The Beauty of the Bible’ Series (Week 3/3) SCRIPTURE

THE BEAUTY OF THE BIBLE OVERVIEWIf we’re honest, there are some passages in the Bible that it’s really hard to know how to handle. They seem so at odds with what we expect of God.

THE BEAUTY OF THE BIBLE OVERVIEWMany people are more than happy to respect, and even follow, Jesus. After all – he’s a figure of love, wisdom, and acceptance.But while people are often happy to accept Jesus, they’re less comfortable accepting the Bible. After all, the Bible is ancient. Many of its teachings seem out of touch at best, and offensive at worst.

FIRST LOVE OVERVIEWIn a culture of fast food, fast fashion and constantly changing technology, it can be easy for everything to feel temporary.
