Why does Christianity continue to grow? What are the values that drive its culture-spanning history? How does it transform cultures and people into better versions of themselves, rather than forcing the one culture on everyone? The values of inclusion and diversity, which lie at the heart of Christianity, account for all these questions. But then why does the church struggle so much with the modern Western values of inclusion and diversity? Where did they come from? How are they different? Join us as we grapple with these questions in the hope that we can understand how, as modern, Western Christians, we can embrace the values of Christianity while reaching out to a broken world.

Intro: Some years ago I read a book by Thom Rainer entitled “Autopsy of a Deceased Church”. He outlines 14 churches that he was called to consult with to help revive them, but they all died because they would not heed his advice.

Jesus Was a Radical! And we’ve tamed Him over the years to be a thoughtful cerebral man. We have chosen to see him more like a friendly traveling preacher, than the out right, world changing, paradigm shifting, crazy peaking man that He was. We read His words and say a polite “Amen” and choose not to…

Suffering is hard, yet James tells us that it has purpose. But we have a part to play, we can blame God for responding to suffering with sin, or we can ask him for wisdom to endure, and so grow in integrity. Ultimately it is our choice that will determine our eternal destiny. Listen to this week's sermon for James's advice on how we can manage all that.
