Jim takes us to the question “What is Idolatry,” challenging us to think about how we have hidden idols in our heart.

Jim takes us to the question “Did God create us unable to keep his law,” the fourteenth question of the New City Catechism to help us start the consideration of the question ahead of this week’s Sunday School Express.
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “Can anyone keep the law of God perfectly,” the thirteenth question of the New City Catechism to help us start the consideration of the question ahead of this week’s Sunday School Express.
We all arrive at Advent carrying something broken—a diagnosis, a fraying relationship, a season that feels anything but joyful—and our instinct is right: we want God to fix it.
