CONJUNCTION JUNCTION: ”Because" (1 John 4:19-21) - Rev. Mark Feldmeir - February 11, 2024

CURRENT SERIES: Conjunction Junction

For School House Rock lovers, “Conjunction Junction” was a Saturday morning childhood mainstay.  As the conductor reminded us, he’s got three cars with “and”, “but” and “or” that can get us pretty far.

What would Christianity look like if we reclaimed some of the long-lost conjunctions of the Bible? 

For too many Christians, faith is an all-or-nothing, take-it-or-leave-it, black-and-white, clear-cut proposition that puts God in a box, reduces belief to certitude, and controls who’s in and who’s out.  But God cannot be constrained or restrained by our one-dimensional religious categories. 

Who is God, how does God work, what does God desire, where can God be found?  We can’t answer these questions without these six evocative conjunctions found throughout the Bible: and, for, but, while, yet, and because.

 In this ground-breaking series, we’ll learn how these six conjunctions describe God’s uncontainable, ever-expanding, unifying vision for our lives, for all living things, and for the future of the world.
