Christian Thought & Pop Culture
The Greatest Showman

What does it mean to 'come alive' and find what you've been looking for? How can we experience unity in diversity? What does it look like to come to terms with who you are?
These are some of the questions prompted by the musical, "The Greatest Showman".
Join us on Monday, April 15 to explore these questions and more! A showing of the movie will happen at 6:00pm, discussion begins at 8:00pm.
Please note, the movie is rated PG. You can find a parental content guide here.

Who am I? Why do I exist? What am I here for? Why is life so hard? Is there any solution to the mess of life? Is there hope for the future?
The story of Christianity provides answers to the difficult questions that we face. In this class we will explore the four main movements in the plot of the Christian story, and we will see how Jesus is the ultimate answer for our question-asking world.

'What do you want to do when you grow up?' is a question we either have been asked, or are currently being asked, on a regular basis. Perhaps a better question to consider is, 'Who are you becoming?' Christianity is not just a story, or a set of ideas - Christianity is an invitation to follow, learn from, listen to, and become like Jesus. That is ultimately what 'discipleship' is all about; becoming an apprentice of Jesus, to learn to live how He would if He was in your particular situation. In this class we will explore the rhythms and disciplines of our discipleship to Jesus, and encourage people to take the next step in their obedience to do what He has taught.
 
This class is designed for anyone who wants to be baptized, or for those who just want to know more about what it means to follow Jesus daily

Christian Thought, and a Conversation on Reconstructing Your Faith
with Greg Harris and Mike Cosper
 
Director of Christianity Today Media, Host and Producer of "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill", and Author of "Land of My Sojourn"
Christian Thought, Freedom, and the Conscience
The words conscience and freedom are used so frequently in our everyday lives, and they are words that the Bible uses. We should ask ourselves: Am I using these words the way the Bible is using them? If we want to live wisely as Christians in Canada in 2024, these are concepts we need to wrestle with - so you are invited to join Elizabeth Faulkner, Jesse Schellenberg, and Greg Harris in a conversation about thinking Christianly about freedom and conscience.
Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family
Do you feel like the local church is your family? Do you feel like you belong relationally with the people of your church?
 
For many years the biological/nuclear family has taken centre stage for people's sense of belonging. Which is why these words that Jesus tells his disciples feel so out of place to us:
 
"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields - along with persecutions - and in the age to come eternal life." ~ Mark 10:29-30 (NIV)
 
Christian Thought and Integrating the Church Family is an event designed to help us think through the countercultural message of the Bible that the local church should operate as a family. Whether we are married or single we are called to come together and form a family.
 
This forum was held on October 30 at SouthRidge Church.

Talking about the gospel is a challenge for many Christians. This class is intended to help disciples of Jesus engage in the task of sharing the gospel with people in their spheres of influence. Come and gain a greater understanding of the gospel itself, learn to format your testimony, understand the three main components of our gospel conversations, and embrace the importance of both ongoing Christian community and intermittent calls to commitment to follow Jesus.

It isn't easy getting connected at a new church.
 
Maybe you're brand new to Christianity and you do not even know where to start with this whole 'following Jesus' thing. Or maybe you've been involved with churches in the past but you don't know how to navigate this new place with new faces.
 
If you're new to SouthRidge, we would love to meet you after the service on Sunday. Come and meet Pastor Greg for a few minutes to help make this transition a bit easier.
