AN INTENDED UNIVERSE
by: John Pople
I believe this universe has been intentionally designed: a rational belief consistent with my scientific education and underpinning my reasoned faith. The statistical impossibility of the heavens demands this, and, necessarily therefore, they declare the existence of a highly skilled designer. Most importantly of all, I hold this conclusion not in spite of scientific method and rational deduction, but precisely because of them.

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER
by: Alex Cervantes
It is so important to make time in our lives to feed our faith. Alex advocates how faith grows when it is exercised, when it is stretched and challenged. Much like how we grow physically and mentally through day-to-day work, our faith grows the same way. Whether it's through reading our Bible and prayer, or how we interact with people we meet each day, our faith can grow by doing the little things.
THE UNINVENTABLE JESUS
by: Sarah Joiner
A spiritual spring-clean can often be a painful, unsettling process. Sarah shares some of her journey and reflects on the uninventable Jesus; the best evidence there is for the existence of a loving God who is passionate about rescuing, restoring and renewing our world and each one of us.
FAILING UP
by: Rachel Launchbury
So my appeal to you is this: be open to the vulnerability of faith. Trust in Jesus: his sincerity, his competence, and his involvement in your life. Find some way to put your faith into action, even in a small way. Being vulnerable means listening and looking for guidance from Jesus in the larger events in life, and in the everyday.
Belonging
by: Helen Roberts
Home is the place where you feel that you belong. Belonging is such a fundamental part of our faith seeking experience. If we, in love, prayer, and humility can serve and care for our church, we are then in a position to help lead, encourage and help others to find true belonging.

Are You Listening?

God isn’t finished with you yet. He is speaking to us; yet are we listening to Him? Through listening to God, He will guide us. He speaks to us through the Bible, through other people and through life’s challenges. Keep listening.

Grace-colored Glasses
by Maggie Schlageter
Faith is something you do that that reflects what you believe to be true. Faith changes how we run with endurance the race God has set before us. Faith is the catalyst to help us move through joy, pain and grief. Keep moving, keep watching.
