THIS THURSDAY: HOW DO YOU READ THIS THING? SESSION TWO

This Thursday night we will continue our series "How do you read this thing?" This week we will be talking about authority. Christians claim that the Bible is "authoritative," but what does that mean?

That works great when you are reading parts of the Bible that talk about rules and regulations but how do you read the parts that aren't so clear? What about history and poetry?

We will explore these questions this week. Come be a part of the conversation.

We will be meeting at Clarkson from 7:30-9:00.

JUNCTION IS MOVING

BACK TO NIGHTS

It's a brand new year and Junction is kicking it all off by meeting on a new night. Junction will now be meeting Thursday nights from 7:30-9:00 at Chartwell Clarkson. It's going to be a time of fun, discussion and learning together.

In honor of the new year and the new night we're starting off 2013 with a new series called "MESSY." Throughout the series we will be looking at seven of the big, messy questions that many Christians face going through life. 

Questions like "why does a good God allow suffering?", "Is Christianity anti-science?", "Is faith unreasonable?" and "If God is love, why is Jesus the only way to him?" are just a few of the questions we'll be looking at over the winter at Junction. 

We are kicking it off this Thursday (Jan. 10) with the messy question "How do we know God exists?".

See you there.
