Forge Online: Wrestling With… Division - Guest Speaker Chris Porter

Big Daddy, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Dwaine (the Rock) Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin – these boys are all famous for their wrestling prowess! Wrestling is in contrast to boxing. Boxing is arms length conflict, wrestling is conflict, too, but involves much more contact and grappling!! We all learn to wrestle - with issues, difficult people, ideologies and theological interpretations. But can we wrestle with a problem without making enemies? Grapple with issues without throwing punches? Debate without disengaging? And is there a better way? Wrestling is good. It’s important to wrestle. In fact, wrestling is a part of the story of God in the Bible. The ancient name for God’s people was “Israel”, which literally means to wrestle or struggle with God. Maybe there’s some answers there… Does it ever feel like the world is getting more complex and the moral or ethical dilemmas it throws up more difficult? How should we deal with those kinds of challenges? Could we be equipped with a process or some tools to help us? So often our natural inclination when we disagree on moral or ethical issues is to stand apart and try to win the argument, rather than genuinely listening and wrestling with someone who disagrees with us. But is there a better way? WE HELP PEOPLE FIND & FOLLOW JESUS. We know that life is tough; now more than ever. We’re sure you’ve got questions and uncertainties, but we believe Jesus can make difference, that faith can bring hope; even in these times and that the Church should be light in the darkness. We’re embracing this new all-digital landscape and can’t wait to interact with you online. We will ensure you receive a warm welcome whether you tune in every Sunday, or if church is new/unfamiliar territory for you. We love that you are able to be part of our community from the comfort of your own home. Feel free to interact through the week on social media, or stream LIVE online on Sunday morning! https://www.forgechurch.com/   / forgechurchuk     / forgechurchuk      / forgechurch
