This Sunday is our final week of our Unfiltered series. We're zooming way out to some pretty unique and relevant questions like:

—What happened during the four hundred years of silence between the Old and New Testaments?
—How does Revelation actually connect to what we’re seeing in the world today?
—What does it mean to be Friends, from the Inner Light to how we hear the Spirit alongside God’s Word?

Remember answers will be rooted in what God’s Word says, and as we wrap up, we’ll give you a first look at what’s coming next this fall.

We hope to see you Sunday at 10:30am!

This past Sunday in our Unfiltered series we sat with some of the hardest questions we carry. Why does God allow suffering and injustice? Why do prayers sometimes go unanswered? Why doesn’t God heal us, even when we’ve asked?

We may not have offered tidy answers, but we offered honesty, compassion, and Scripture, with Beth Banham, Lisa Garon, and Robert Garon on the panel.

Join us Sundays at 10:30am!

Our Unfiltered series, this week, unpacked questions like: Can you doubt and still have real faith? How do you know when God is guiding you versus when it’s just your own thinking? What does trusting God look like day to day?

Julie Anderson from Newberg Friends Church and Nathaniel Vanderploeg, who’s planting a new cell church in Portland, will be tag-teaming to provide answers to those questions and more.

We’re back with part 2 of Unfiltered, five weeks of real questions from you about faith, God, and Scripture, answered with honesty and a firm Biblical foundation.

This week we’re asking why God sometimes seems hard to understand. Why does the prodigal son get a party while the faithful son gets overlooked? Why does Job lose everything even though he did nothing wrong? These are the questions that make us wrestle with who God really is, and have the opportunity to hear Jim LeShana, our Northwest Yearly Meeting superintendent, teach.

This week we started our brand new series called Unfiltered, a five-part teaching of real questions from you about faith, God, and scripture answered with honesty and a firm Biblical foundation.

We’re tackling the “wait, what?” moments in Scripture, like Elijah running scared right after God’s fire fell from heaven, or a donkey that spoke, a prophet’s silent sermon, stories that seem strange until you sit with them and see what God was actually doing.

This is the first teaching for Unfiltered, a five-part series of re...
