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.
Not me, but you
It can often seem like we live in a world where we are told that true happiness comes when we focus on ourselves and take care of our own needs. But what if we realised that something else might be true? That rather than focusing on ourselves, instead, the greatest source of fulfilment we could ever find comes when we focus on ‘You’. As we journey through the book of Ruth, we will discover the radical difference putting God at the centre of our lives can make, both for us and for those around us.
