“When Faith Meets Doubt”

This weekend at our services, we talked about the doubts that we encounter as we journey through life.  If you are presently struggling with doubt, I found a great article by author Brian McLaren that may be of some great encouragement to you.  Enjoy!

“Why, God, Why?”


This week at our Wednesday Night Bible Study, we’ll tackle the subject of suffering.  For thousands of years people have wrestled with the concept that God could be both infinite and loving in a world filled with so much pain and suffering.  We see the evil of rape and abuse and genocide—and we ask WHY, GOD, WHY?

Our questions quickly move from the philosophical to the personal when pain becomes OUR reality.  When life hands us sickness or unemployment or the death of a loved one—Where is this infinite and loving God? 

This Wednesday we’ll examine Philippians 1:12-18, in which the Apostle Paul explains how he really feels about his imprisonment and abandonment in Rome.  Earlier in his ministry, Paul wrote to the followers of Jesus in Rome, “In all things [including suffering] God works for the good of those who love him…” (Romans 8:28).  Now—perhaps 5 years later—the beautiful theology of Romans 8 is put to the test through Paul’s personal suffering in Philippians 1.  I trust his words will challenge each of us to a new level of faith.

Join us this Wednesday at 7:00pm.

“Margaret Feinberg Coming to Capital”

 

Some months ago, I shared with you one of my favorite books from last year—Organic God by Margaret Feinberg.  It’s rare to find a book written about our God with such fresh insight and expression.  After reading the book, I invited Margaret to be a guest speaker at our weekend services at Capital.  We’re thrilled that she has accepted our invitation.  Margaret and her husband Leif will join us October 25-26 at all three of our weekend services.

Margaret has written a new book The Sacred Echo.  Here’s an excerpt from the back cover:

        ”When God really wants to get your attention, he doesn’t just whisper something once.  He echoes…

        “You’ve probably experienced it.  The same theme, idea, impression, or lesson will repeat itself
        surprising and unexpected ways until you realize that maybe, just maybe, God is at work.

        “As you learn to listen for the sacred echoes—God’s persistent voice—in your life, you can walk more
        confidently and fully into all that he has for you.  The Sacred Echo challenges you to prayerfully
        consider how God is at work in your life as well as in the lives of those around you.  It’s an invitation to
        spiritual awakening and a deeper relationship with God.”

Margaret was recently named by Charisma magazine as one of the “30 Emerging Voices” who will help lead the church in the next decade.  Check out her website at www.margaretfeinberg.com.

“Going Deeper”

 

Beginning tomorrow evening, we’ll take an in-depth look at a passage from the Bible to uncover who God is and discover the life to which he’s called us.  This fall, we’ll unpack the book of Philippians in a verse-by-verse exposition that will take us deeper into the context of Paul’s letter while searching our hearts for its application in everyday life. 

 

Join us each Wednesday at 7:00pm in our Capital Café.  Children’s and youth ministry are provided each week!
