In part two of our series The Other Side of Repentance we examine the Sacred. What makes something sacred? How can we go back to the source of the sacred? How have false images of Christ contributed to us losing the idea of the sacred? Plus we discuss how we can cultivate a life of sacredness that is in contrast to so much of the narcissistic spirituality that we see today.

This week at Red we began a new series entitled the other side of repentance. Our culture has removed any notion of the sacred. There is viritually nothing that cannot be mocked or ridiculed in our culture anymore. How has this effected how we view God? How we worship? How we do Church? How we live as disciples? Has the buddy Jesus image of God prevelant in contemporary Christianity created a lapsadisical approach to faith? How do we recapture an idea of the sacred in our world? How can a reverance towards God deepen our faith? To listen click here

In this final installment of our series, we look at the heart. That strange life centre of the human being. We examine how we can disciple this mysterious and powerful part of us. We also look at the ethical problem of invisibility, we explore Psalm 1, discuss how the way that we enter a room describes our will and to top things off we confuse actors Elijah Wood and Elliot Gould.

This week, part three of our current series, we looked at our guts; that is our feelings, emotions and sensations. Our culture has idolised ‘feelings’, we expect a life of positive emotions and amazing experiences. But what is the right way of ordering our feelings, what is a biblical perspective on emotions?
