Here There Be Dragons - Faith

If Paul's assertion that Faith, Hope and Love are all that we have left, what does it mean to have faith?  What should our faith be in?  Jesus gives us a surprising answer, and an answer that changes how we interact with the rest of the world.  

Jesus and the Story of the Unmerciful Statement

Who picked up the check when Jesus and his crew (the actual greek word is "posse") sat down and ate? Who bankrolled these people roaming through Galilee?

God in the Chaos

Ancient Israel formed and molded it's creation story around the chaos they experienced in the destruction of Jerusalem and their exile.  What does what they believed - and what Genesis teaches - about God's role in creation have to do with the ordering of our lives today, and how do we move into the chaos that's so unsettling.
