Pastor Terry Crist unpacks the reasons why Jesus is ‘Better than Angels’. From the book of Hebrews, Terry reveals how the early church was sometimes pressured to diminish their view of Jesus in order to protect themselves from persecution and even death! Culture may have changed since then, but we still feel pressure today to compromise on our belief in Jesus in a intolerant post-Christian society.
Terry Crist continues this season of Cafe Theology with "Jesus, the Approachable Priest". Jesus broke the cultural norm and was incredibly approachable, while the rabbi's and priests of the day prided themselves on being separate from people.
Pastor Terry Crist continues this season of Cafe Theology with "Jesus, the Family Man”. Jesus' family was probably just like our families, with all its challenges and relational conflict. Being close to Jesus, helps us to be better members of our own families.
Pastor Robby Lewis uses the Apostle Paul's challenge in Corinthians to teach us that the message of Jesus is enough. We still struggle with feeling 'right' before God, just like the early church did. This message encourages us to live in the freedom Jesus gives us.
