We do so as individuals but church communities are also known to miss the point of life. Today we talk about rediscovering the beauty of the story told within the Bible. The challenge made is to read the Gospel of Mark to fall, once again or for the first time, in love with God.

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 32:24 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/4-20-08.mp3 Joe Hays What can we at Christ's Church for Brooklyn do to show that we genuinely love all people? What can we at CCFB do to show that we are concerned for the world? Matthew 25:31f makes it clear what Jesus wants from us: take care of those who are in need. And so CCFB will. Hear about the dream of a tutoring center and see if you too are moved to dream. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 25:33 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/4-13-08.mp3 Joe Hays Who are you? Who do others say that you are? These are important - and heavy - questions. You can't be your full self, you can't be your true self until you are able to answer the question, Who am I? We can't be authentic and transparent without knowing who we are in the core of our being. As we reflect on Mark 8 and the question Jesus asks his disciples - Who do you say that I am? - we come to learn the truth of who we are. Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 22:32 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/3-30-08.mp3 Joe Hays Thomas didn't believe the disciples that Jesus had risen from the dead. He doubted. He questioned. He struggled. And so do we, if we're honest. And even in the midst of doubts, questions and struggles, God accepts us. And as he does he says, Believe. And so we do. Sun, 30 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 21:15 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/3-23-08.mp3 Joe Hays Like the disciples who waiting anxiously after Jesus' death and burial, we too find ourselves waiting in hard and excruciating circumstances. But Jesus' resurrection means that our waiting has new meaning. We now wait knowing that God is making things right in this world and that chaos and death do not have the last word. Jesus lives! Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 17:43 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/3-16-08.mp3 Joe Hays Today we contemplate both Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem and his sacrifice upon the cross. When we start to realize the holy sacrifice Jesus made on the cross our reaction can't be anything less than those who greeted Jesus as he made his way into Jerusalem - complete and unfettered reverence. Hosanna in the highest!

How do we make sense of heaven and hell? When the end comes, how will it all work out? Who is in? Who is out? These are complex questions and CCFB has been exploring them for three weeks. This Sunday, January 27, we contemplate three criticisms leveled at the theological construct of universalism: Why not live as you please? Why evangelize? Why Jesus? Sun, 27 Jan 2008 11:00:00 EST Joe Hays 23:48 http://christschurchforbrooklyn.org/podcast/2008/1-20-08.mp3 Joe Hays How do we make sense of heaven and hell? When the end comes, how will it all work out? Who is in? Who is out? These are complex questions that CCFB will be exploring in a three week series called Once And For All. This Sunday, January 20, we further explore the topic by taking a look at what the Bible says about the theological construct of universalism. The biblical main claim that death has no victory and has no sting will be the trumpeting call of today's sermon.

This Sunday, January 13, we introduce the topic by taking a look at the different categories that have been proposed throughout history. In the end, it all depends on how one reads and interprets the Bible.

The aim is to explore what it takes to follow God. Today's sermon explores the role of disciple as one who is full of praise and thanksgiving.
