Fridge Magnet Christianity
Some Bible verses are comforting, encouraging, and inspiring, the kind we print on mugs, stick on our fridges, or turn to in tough times. But what happens when those verses don’t seem to ring true in real life? Could it be they’re more complex, and even more powerful, than we first thought?
And then there are the other verses. The ones that make us uncomfortable. The ones we’d never put on a fridge magnet: passages about violence, judgment, or topics that feel shocking, confusing, or even off-putting. What are we supposed to do with those?
Over 8 weeks, we’ll explore both the comforting and the challenging parts of the Bible: the verses we love and the ones we’d rather ignore. Along the way, we’ll discover that even the most difficult passages might hold a truth better and deeper than we ever imagined.
Risked it
“Above all, I see an increased hunger in Christians to change things, a willingness to take Jesus at his word, an increased ambition to make a difference and a reluctance to settle for anything less than the complete transformation of the church, their communities and the world in Jesus' name.”
— Emma Ineson
What might your own walk with Jesus look like in a few years’ time? How might your faith grow, your relationships deepen, and your influence bring change where you are?
Reset
Life can be a blur, and we end up on cruise control. We do the same things, think the same thoughts, and never feel fully alive. We want to hit the reset button and dial back in to the joy and truth we find in Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may we feel empowered and energised for “eyes wide open” living!
