Work Out and Work In | Philippians 2:12-13 | Both/And, Week 3 | Rob Hall | New North Church
Life is full of tensions—moments where two things that seem to be opposites are both true. The Bible is no different. It’s packed with mysteries that can stretch our understanding, like how Jesus is both fully God and fully human, or how God is both perfectly loving and perfectly just. These tensions aren’t contradictions; they’re invitations to a deeper faith.
In this series, we’re diving into six of the biggest tensions in Scripture. Together, we’ll wrestle with questions like: How do we live with joy while facing suffering? How do we embrace God’s sovereignty while taking responsibility for our actions? And how do we live in the world without becoming like it?
We want to explore these tensions because they’re at the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. By holding these truths in balance, we grow in wisdom, trust, and maturity. Instead of trying to resolve the tension, we’ll discover how it leads us closer to God and helps us live more faithfully in a complicated world.
Join us for this journey—we’re not promising easy answers, but we’re confident we’ll encounter the God who holds all things together.
