Bringing Our Anxieties to God

We live in what has been called an “epidemic of anxiety”. Our culture deals with anxiety through therapy, medication, and/or removal of triggers. What does the Bible say? Psalm 27 provides us with one example of how an ancient king brought his anxieties to God and found relief. Listen as Pastor Josh shows us how this beloved Psalm gives us tools to bring our anxieties to God.

The Judgment of the Law

In a culture that emphasizes God’s justice for us, the first two chapters of Romans have emphasized God’s justice against us. But why? Even if we can understand why God judges those who received His law and failed to keep it, why would He judge those who never received it? Listen as Pastor Josh explains how the existence of Natural Law ensures that everyone is accountable before God.

What Judgment Looks Like

What do you imagine when you think about divine judgment? Do you think about natural disasters? Warfare and destruction? Eternal gloom and misery? While the Bible teaches that God’s judgment can and will look like those things, it can also look like divine withdrawal. God can judge a society by leaving it to do what it wants. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.
