Resources for God's Story and Lenses
We all view the world through glasses, through a narrative, a story, that helps us interpret the culture we breathe in and breathe out. We are all culture makers and culture exegetes—that is, we participate in the making of our culture and, at the same time, we are constantly making value and moral judgements of the culture that is being made.The Gospel—the story of Jesus’ worldwide rescue—are lenses we need to put on in order to make and exegete in a way that brings joy to ourselves and those around us, and also brings glory to God.So we will first work to put on these Gospel lenses. And then we will look at various aspects of culture, turning them around in our hands like different facets of a jewel, viewing them through new eyes.
During our Worldview series we want to provide you with resources to equip you in seeing the world in light of the gospel. Here are some resources on the last two week’s topics on the Bible, God’s Story and Lenses. Listen to these sermons here.
