We wrap up today our series on forgiveness talking about a topic that inevitably comes up when discussing forgiveness, “How do I forgive myself?” I heard this question the first week talking with someone between services. He said, “I get it when it comes to forgiving people who hurt me. It’s not always easy, but I believe it’s important and I feel like a better human being when I do. But my problem with forgiveness is the guilt I have for things I have done. I believe God forgives me, but how do I forgive myself?”

The idea of forgiveness, of mercy, is a beautiful thing to many of us, yet the need to deserve is something we don’t let go of easily. As C. S. Lewis said, “Forgiveness is a lovely thing, until we have something to forgive.”

This is a question that is on the tip of our tongues so often in so many situations. And it’s one of the most pressing questions that people wrestle with in their faith or even people who don’t claim faith wrestle with it. Because it applies to everything- football, our relationships, our faith, the global news. Like how does God let all of these terrible things just keep happening and what does it mean for us?

The question today is remarkably straightforward, Does God send people to hell? But that doesn’t mean the answer is simple. And the answer we give has deep implications. Our answer reveals what we believe about the character of God, Judgement, and what happens to us after we die.

Let’s be honest, every faith community has a certain relationship with the cross. But the imagery itself is quite gory. It’s violent. What kind of God would send his son to die? It lends one to ask the question, Did Christ have to die? The question invites us to dig deeper into our own beliefs about atonement.

Is that really our only option with the Bible? Cut away the parts we’re uncomfortable with and fashion the Bible to suit our likings? Or is it a matter of take it or leave it? Accept the Bible wholesale with everything in it just the way it’s written or toss it out altogether?
We are in a series on faith questions you say you would like help in answering. Our question today is this: “Is the Bible Reliable?” Typically that question gets answered by two extremes. Rob Bell, in his book What the Bible Is, captures these extremes this way:
“Some people see the Bible as an outdated, primitive book of barbaric fairy tales we have moved beyond. And then there are those folks who talk about how important and central and inspired the Bible is but then butcher it with their stilled literalism and stifling interpretations.”

Over 4 ½ years ago we did a series called Questions Alexa Can’t Answer in which we probed some of the tough theological questions of faith. Today we start a similar series. The key difference is these topics come from you. They are the questions about faith and God you hear from friends, your children, family members which you said you would like help in knowing how to answer.

It is the final week of our Parched series. And over the last month, we’ve been exploring how to use different Practices to fill our Spiritual Cups. We’ve looked at how we pay attention, what it means to rest, the gift of exploring and trying new things, and how to have a rhythm of prayer.

How do we fill the empty spaces in our lives? We’ve tried to answer that question in this sermon series by by looking at different spiritual practices like paying attention or rest and restoration. Todays spiritual practice takes us to Joshua 3.

We’ve come to week two of our Parched sermon series. I said this last week and I think it’s worth saying it again. This is an essential conversation because too often we show up to the most important places of our lives parched and depleted. Our goal is simply to look at different spiritual practices that will help become people that fill those empty places with things that are healthy and fulfilling.

We wrap up our June sermon series today in which we have been thinking about some important thresholds in the Bible. We looked at the story of Daniel’s friends crossing the threshold of a furnace door and how that willingness to face the heat rather than run from it led to a discovery of God’s presence and power they wouldn’t have found otherwise.

At some point in our lives we all needed to be liberated from something. Juneteeth gives us the space to celebrate the freedoms in our nations history and invites us to think about the conversations around liberation and acceptance that still need to be discussed. In fact, the church was having similar conversations as it was trying to figure out what it meant for them to be the church. They didn’t know it at the time, but the church had to go through its own journey of liberation.

We are in a series called Thresholds. We are considering the two understandings of that word. A threshold is an entry point like a doorway we go through. But threshold also has to do with capacity and ability. In spiritual terms, the thresholds God leads us to cross are ones that increase our spiritual thresholds.

Today we begin a series called Thresholds. One definition for a Threshold is “the place or point of entering or beginning.” Like a doorway. A threshold is associated with an entry point.
But there is another meaning for threshold: “a point at which a physiological or psychological effect is produced.” This has more of an understanding of capacity, like we might say a threshold of pain or potential.
