The Bible is filled with stories of God choosing specific people, nations, or paths—Abraham, Israel, Mary, Paul. But is divine election unfair? This message explores how God’s choices are never about exclusion for exclusion’s sake but about extending blessing to the many through the few. It will wrestle with the tension of predestination, human freedom, and the wide invitation of the gospel. Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

This week we sit down to further unpack why does the Bible talk so much about war—and why would a loving God command it?

The Old Testament is filled with violent stories—conquests, commands to destroy, and divine judgment. At first glance, it can seem like God is bloodthirsty or endorses holy war. This message wrestles with the tension of divine justice and human rebellion, exploring how God’s actions in history reflect a long-term mission of redemption, not destruction. We’ll unpack the conquest of Canaan, the language of total war, and the cultural context of ancient warfare. In Jesus, we see God’s ultimate weapon is not violence, but sacrificial love that absorbs evil rather than inflicts it. Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402
