Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White
Politicians, pundits and even preachers paint the world in black and white. You’re forced into tidy boxes. You are labeled a conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, for or against the war, pro-this or pro-that. Entire states are painted as red or blue. Candidates use slogans to demonize their opponents and energize their base of support. The election cycle seems perfectly designed to polarize our country.
Do you ever wonder if life was meant to be more than just black and white? Are you hungry for solutions that don’t fit into a sixty-second sound byte? Do you miss civility and thoughtfulness in politics? And what message would Jesus have for a black and white world?
We invite you to join us for a series of important messages entitled, Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White. In this series Rev. Adam Hamilton will look to the scriptures and the teachings and example of Jesus as a model for how we live, love, and make important decisions in a complex world.
If you want simplistic answers to complex issues, you may be disappointed. But if you’re looking for a thoughtful place to begin this election year, one where you’ll be challenged to think for yourself, to seriously consider both sides of an issue, and then to live courageously and lovingly as you face complex decisions, then you won’t want to miss a single message of this series.
