How God Rescues Us

We all have to deal with guilt at some point in our lives. Whether we do or not will either free us or take us deeper into entrapment of one kind or another. Beyond Guilt talks with Emmanuel Jal, a child soldier in the Sudanese civil war, and reveals how he dealt with his guilt overload. Renowned psychologist, Dr Arch Hart, gives insights into the psychology of guilt, revealing the peace that lies beyond it.

How do we move past knowing about grace to experiencing it personally? How can a new life in Christ unite us as a church?

In the first two chapters of the Bible, we learn that at each stage of Creation, six times God evaluates His work as “good” and at the end of the Creation week during His seventh assessment, God evaluates His work as “very good”. However, things drasticaly change in Chapter 3 and the structure of the chapter highlights two main themes: the theme of temptation and the theme of salvation.

In this central section of Genesis (12-22), Abraham leaves his past to follow G\od's call.  As a result, Abraham always is on the move, always a migrant, which is why he also is called a “stranger” (Gen. 17:8). In his journeying, Abraham is suspended in the void—without his past, which he has lost, and without his future, which he does not see.  In the New Testament, Abraham is one of the most mentioned figures from the Old Testament, and we will start to see why.
