If we believe in the God of the Bible, then we must believe that He is good. But if He's good, how can He allow suffering? In Romans 8, we find that suffering is not a result of God's action, but our own choice to sin. And our sin has not only cursed ourselves but also all of creation. So where does a good God come in? With a grand redemption plan that will one day result in so much good, it won't be worth comparing to the bad.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48911268Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Deconstruction ... all the cool kids are doing it. If you've got doubts, too, don't demonize them; DO something with them. Examine what you believe. Then reconstruct what you've deconstructed on the truth! In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul does this: he examined the Resurrection of Christ, because he knew that if we don't get this one thing right, then the building blocks of our beliefs won't matter. The Resurrection is central; it's certain; and it's critical. And because of the Resurrection, we have a hope that lasts beyond this life.Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48907874Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

If your life has been intersected by the Gospel, then you can never be the same. This is Paul's message as he concludes his letter to the people of Galatia, warning them against fleshly living and calling them to Spirit-led relationships, activity, and confidence — only possible by salvation through Jesus Christ. Through the Gospel, we rely not on what we can do or must do, but on what Christ has done and is doing. Will you respond to the Gospel?Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48904211Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

How do you know if someone is really a Christian? And are you? There's a way to find out. In Galatians, Paul says that the character of a person will showcase whether they truly know Christ or not. And he challenges us to evaluate our own lives to see if we are connected with Christ — and if we are, then remove the weeds, watch for the fruit, and wait to see God do the work of growing your faith.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48900778Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

We're all good at grace. Needing it, that is! But when it comes to receiving God's grace, we're a mess and we can't leave it alone. We end up either adding to it with a bunch of rules (called legalism) or taking from it because we're disregarding all the rules (called licentiousness). And a little bit of either of those will ruin the entire batch of grace … like a toenail in your salsa. Instead, in the book of Galatians, Paul calls us to stop misusing and stop abusing God's grace and simply enjoy it. Because Christ died for much more than a code Christianity — He came to give us abundant life.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48897457Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Work hard and everything will work out fine. That's the American dream. But it doesn't work for what's most important in life: our relationship with God. Because the main message of the Bible is that the only way to get right and stay right with God is by faith in Jesus Christ. If you're stuck in a performance trap and you're not enjoying Jesus, something Is off. Galatians pinpoints what — and how to escape being enslaved to performance so you can live in joy with Jesus.Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48893845Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

We're all born orphans, spiritually: conceived in crisis, born into bondage, and hopelessly lost in the orphanage called the world. But in Galatians, we find that if we are in Christ, we are chosen by the God of the universe to be His children — with all the privileges and joys and security of adoption. And with that adoption comes a responsibility: Will we be a witness to the adoption of others?Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48890350Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Are you perfectly happy? If not ... what's the one thing you think could get you there? In John 4, we find Jesus intentionally pursuing a woman who is so unsatisfied with her life, it's been her full-time job to keep seeking the one more thing that could help. But one-more-thing hasn't helped. And the answer Jesus brings her is what we need, too: a new purpose in life of knowing the Messiah and sharing Him with others.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48886736Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Are you a speed limit follower or breaker? Yeah, us too. Traffic laws regulate us to keep us safe, but we all know the speed limit signs don't magically make us better drivers. Eventually we all break those limits, and in slow zones it feels like the limit is there just to trip us up. Sometimes the law of God can feel like that too, as if all 600 laws in the entire Bible were written just for us to break them. In Galatians, Paul returns to the history of how the law was given to display the hope of why it was given: to diagnose our dysfunction and point to the promise of freedom. Salvation is not determined by our determination: the promise of the God is that we can be made right with Him through faith.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48882967Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Relationship pro-tip: The way you attract someone is how you'll keep them. Same goes for your relationship with God. If you think you can do enough good to earn a relationship with Him, then you'll be in constant danger of one bad mess-up ruining everything. But in Galatians, we learn that God is the initiator, the sustainer, and the completer of our salvation. The good news? You can never lose God's love because you can't earn it, either. The way we start is the same way we'll finish: by faith.

Christians are a bunch of hypocrites. That's what everyone says ... and they're not wrong. Most likely you're a pro, just like the rest of us, acting out a lie every time we say something that doesn't match up with what we do. And in Galatians, Paul is calling out people who are living this lie — and then he lays out how to be healed. Because there is freedom from the burden of hypocrisy, and it's found in the Gospel.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48871687Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Are you wearing a cheap version of faith? We tend towards a faith that is trendy, comfy & casual ... or traditional, rigid & rules. But cheap faith is a knockoff. It will never accomplish the glorious goal of the Gospel that God master planned: to unite us with Christ and with each other. Paul lays out this Gospel in Galatians and reminds us that it's not about us, but it's for us, and when we experience it, our lives are changed forever.Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48867851Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Ever had allergies so bad your eyes crusted over? It's painful and gross, plus, obviously, you just can't see well. In Galatians, we find Paul writing to a group of churches to point out something also obvious: They can't see the Gospel clearly because there's gunk they've been adding to it, making it crusty and ruined. But Paul experienced the radical power of the clear Gospel; it changed him from a church persecutor to a church planter, and in this spicy first-century letter, he calls all followers of Jesus to get rid of the gunk and experience that same power.Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48864148Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

A spiritual high, followed by stress, is a recipe for depression. Ever been there? Elijah, a prophet in ancient Israel, experienced God moving in an out-of-this-world way, but then fell into isolation and doubt. He desperately needed to hear God's voice. And like Elijah, if we want to be used by God, grow in faith, and find hope, we need to hear God's voice, know His word, and know the Shepherd.

What are your labels? The words that define you? You'll wear the labels of the voices you listen to — but there's only One who has the right to label you. It's not who you are (or who you hope to be) that matters, but Whose you are. If you're a child of God, you can claim the label God gives you of freedom (John 8:36) instead of being stuck to what others have slapped on you.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48856798Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Satan is the OG scam artist — making the same plays on us since Genesis 3 by questioning God's authority. When we're tempted to think happiness lies just on the other side of a “little” sin — and we take the bait for it — we end up finding ourselves trashed by a load of guilt and despair. But there's a way out: Instead of listening to the voice of temptation and the accuser, learn to talk to yourself of the victory that's already been won and experience the voice of celebration.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48852871Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

The voices you listen to determine the version of life that you live.

As young adults, the pressure is on to perform: there's a long list of what we've got to do to feel good about ourselves in our careers, our relationships, and with God. But we never really hit the mark and the load just keeps getting heavier. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to join His way of life, where we can can exchange all the weight of our own trying hard for the freedom of rest that He offers.

Are you rushed? Irritable? Sloppy? Apathetic? Isolated? If so … you just might have a case of pathological “rushedness,” addicted to activity and connectivity, and it won't end well for you. The good news? God has a prescription for this, already written into the way He created the world. It's called Sabbath, and in the books of Deuteronomy and Exodus, we learn why to keep it, how to remember it, and how to discover true rest through a relationship with our Maker.

Sometimes work is hard. In Luke 5, we see some guys doing hard work with less than stellar results. Ready to call it a day, they're joined by Jesus and instructed to go back to work when it seems pointless. These men find that when Jesus joins them in the struggle, everything changes. And the same principle holds true today: whether you love your work or are itching to change, ask Jesus to go to work with you. Follow Christ, and He can work through your work to change the world.Notes: https://my.bible.com/events/48837803Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Life is a tension of work and rest. If we're driven to work in pursuit of significance, we'll burn out, and if we seek satisfaction in rest, we'll end up lazy … and disappointed. But if we can manage the tension between the two by reflecting God's example from Genesis 1, we can find significance and success that is rooted in the Gospel.
