And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Cor 2:1-5)

Here we recapped God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and Scripture, and then moved on to briefly address creation and humanity.It's important to distinguish between what Christians hold in the closed hand (must believe) and what we hold in the open hand (may believe).In the closed hand are that God made all things visible and invisibe, that he is Lord over all things, and that humans are made in God's image with dignity and value, both male and female, made for partnership.In the open hand are questions like, "How long were the days of Gensis 1?", or "How old is the earth?" or "Is complementarianism or egalitarianism the more biblical view?" On these matters, we hold our own conviction while not despising other believers whose beliefs differ from ours.

Sunday morning chat from Stan.

This is a chat about...oh, you know, the universe.

In which we briefly discuss...GodJesusHoly SpiritScripture

This talk is about growing up spiritually.

"Let all the peoples praise you" part 2.

2 Cor 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 

This is based on Psalm 67's invitation to all the people's of the earth to worship God, but mainly the global vision of redemption present within Scripture and the kingdom from beginning to end.You're on a ball in space. Zoom out.

This chat is about the names Joseph chose for his two sons born in Egypt.
