The Upside-Down Kindness of God

Series:
A Christlike God

Jesus shows us what God is like, through his life and teaching, death and resurrection – a God of extraordinary kindness, love and grace. So why do Christians so often have an image of God that is violent, punitive, or angry? How do we read the Bible, especially some of the difficult texts that portray a different image of God than the one revealed in Jesus? This series is an opportunity to rethink how we see God and to deepen our faith in a God who is better than we ever imagined.
