    Hebrews 11:16 reminds us that the great saints of faith looked to a better country, a heavenly one. Though they conquered kingdoms, stopped the mouths of lions, were mighty in way and put foreign armies to flight, yet the world was not worthy of them as the kept heaven in view. We discussed how an eternal perspective helps the pilgrim effectively live in temporary countries of residence.

    The Bible gives us many ways to speak to God. One way is lament. From the Psalms to the prophets to the Lord Jesus’ weeping over Jerusalem, lament is a language used to express pain, sorrow, anger and ultimately hope in God. It’s a language many Christians have seldom used. But it holds great promise for helping the Lord’s diverse church understand one another and act together in more unified faith and hope.

  • 4:30pm
    Immigration continues to be a major political issue over which Christians differ. But as pilgrims and sojourners ourselves, Christians should mine the Bible for workable postures and ideas in what otherwise can seem like an unworkable situation.

  • 11:30am
    Every election season presents the church with certain challenges. The responsibility of pastors and Christians to “maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” continues no matter the election dynamics. This panel considers good and bad ways of shepherding our local churches through trying times.
