ONE LIFE. Are You Happy With Yours?

Shoulda – Coulda – Woulda – are phrases we all use from time to time. But the problem is we only get one shot at life. There are no “come backs,” there are no “do-overs.” Too many of us spend too much of our time, money and energy on things that really don’t matter. Others of us aren’t being intentional enough about the good choices we do want to make and so life’s hectic, rushed and noisy pace overwhelms our good intentions. It’s critical that we take the time to be deliberate about: the choices we are making, the priorities were are setting and the attitudes we’re reflecting! One life: are you happy with yours?

GOD’S NATURE & CHARACTER

Exploring the Major Biblical Metaphors

What is God like?

The Bible uses metaphors to help us understand. The Bible speaks of God as a “King,” or a “Shepherd,” and at other times, describing God in terms of a parent or even a “Trinity.”

With each metaphor, new insights emerge as we consider how different representations of God change how we understand ourselves, our human failings, and God’s interactions with us to make things right.

Come with us as we continue to “better know our Bibles in 2010”, by exploring the major biblical metaphors of God.

Faith Is...

From the perspective of the Bible, faith is NOT endorsing a certain set of religious concepts. It is also NOT necessarily “feeling” spiritual or particularly close to God. Instead, faith IS action. Faith IS doing. Faith is… This 40 day season of Lent, where Christians purposely elevate the path of their spiritual journey in order to get in better “soul-shape,” we invite you to join us at CITY ON A HILL as we define in detail what faith in God through Jesus Christ actually looks like.
