Does God really love us? If you think that God isn’t into sin you’d be right. So if we’re not living up to God’s standard surely we’re in trouble. How can God be against sin and love us? How is Jesus, “a friend to sinners?”
"I’m totally OK with you believing in Jesus - but don’t bother me with it." That’s reasonable, and there are so many other religions - isn’t it just arrogant to claim Jesus has a special place in such company?
“Love your neighbour.” “Blessed are the poor.” “Love your enemies.” It’s pretty clear that Jesus taught some memorable and timeless ideas and that makes Him a great teacher, but that’s all - right? He didn’t claim more did He?

Let’s say that Jesus existed, even then isn’t it really only the old and the weak that have need for such a figure in their lives? If family are happy and healthy then who needs a crutch like Jesus? Join Lead Pastor Stuart Starr and the NewLife@10 service, as we undertand how to healthfully move into our own brokenness and allow Jesus to carry it with us.
