We cancelled our January 21 Sunday Gathering due to inclement weather. Alex takes a few minutes to nerd out about what the Bible has to say about snow.

Sometimes we create a Jesus who never existed, a Jesus who always agrees with us, who never challenges us -- recreating Jesus in our image is another form of idolatry.

As we near the end of our series on what the Bible says about women, Alex tackles the controversial verses in Ephesians 5 about women submitting to men.

When it comes to the subject of women and what the Bible says about them, there is no bigger problem than the passages written by the Apostle Paul. In this message, we wrestle with how to interpret difficult passages, how to make sense of the narrative arc of the Bible and why Paul often seems to contradict himself. Strap in, this is the essential message in our series about Biblical womanhood.
