Blessings and Cursing

January 15, 2023

Jeff-Manion
Teaching Pastor:

Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through Peter’s instructions about not repaying evil for evil. Through this conversation, we see that Christians should respond to insult or meanness in a way that is extremely different than the world. We are challenged to desire the well-being of those who hurt us instead of the undoing.

Spaces

Where does God meet us? Throughout Scripture, he meets his people in real places—mountains, deserts, seas, and the temple. Each place teaches us something about who he is. Join us for The Places Where God Meets Us, a six-week series exploring how these spaces point forward to Jesus, the one who meets us still.
