Along the way we will explore some Neo Platonist philosophy, some bad theology, the concept of “immutability”, and something called “proof texting”. Buckle up and get ready to engage with the Word!

    This week we emphasize a word: magnanimous. It refers to a person that is great in spirit. It wraps up the ideas of being gracious, generous, others-oriented, others-serving, and quick to forgive. The Bible might not use the word “magnanimous”, but it definitely does teach us that all that is summed up by this word is true of our Heavenly Father. In Luke 11:5-13, Jesus teaches us about prayer by highlighting the contrast between human fathers that even at their best can nevertheless be self-serving with the magnanimity of the Heavenly Father who defines himself by other-serving love. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Sunday, June 18, 2023.
