Would Jesus Have Used Hashtags and Emojis If He Preached Today?

Last updated on: April 4, 2016 at 6:42 am By Josh Daffern

Yesterday at my church we started a new sermon series titled #struggles: following Jesus in a selfie-centered world (this series comes from the good people at life.church). Some might argue that using something as modern as a hashtag is pandering or even selling out to contemporary culture. Jesus would have never done that if he were preaching today, would he? At the end of the day, we’ll never know. There can be convincing arguments on either side by folks with long... Read more

Introducing: New Wineskins

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 5:00 am By Josh Daffern

Why Is it So Important That the Resurrection of Jesus Is a Historical Event and Not a Religious Fairytale?

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 6:43 am By Josh Daffern

Fresh off of Easter Sunday, billions of people on this planet celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus, the central tenet and claim of Christianity. On the surface, the claim seems preposterous: almost two thousand years ago, there was a homeless Jewish rabbi who lived in a backwater Roman province and died a common criminal’s death by crucifixion. He was God and proved it by rising from the dead. It sounds much more plausible as a religious fairytale, a backstory to... Read more
