Hopeful Spirituality

September 7 – October 5, 2025

Our views of theological issues—such as the nature of God, the source and consequences of sin, the significance of Jesus’ death, and the meaning of eternal life—can have profound influence on our thinking and behavior. Some interpretations have proved psychologically or emotionally harmful, and others appear increasingly irrelevant in our culture today. Yet there are more hopeful interpretations that reflect the goodness, lovingkindness, and inclusivity of Jesus. In this five-week series, we will explore some contentious issues with humility and a willingness to rethink. We will not dismiss any views but will seek to be open to interpretations that better communicate God’s great hope for our world.
