Christ Church Lake Forest

This is a series based on Christ Church's statement of faith called FencePosts. The sermons, lectures, workshops and curriculum have been developed by Senior Pastor, Mike Woodruff, and follow the seven articles in our statement of faith.

The idea behind the title, FencePosts, is that we are not required to believe exactly the same thing as each other - in fact, we may disagree on a fair number of things - but there are a handful of non-negotiable items. These are fence posts that have been carefully positioned by church leaders over time. When you connect them you create a wide-open area that is fenced in and safe. The goal in this series is to explain the incontestable core beliefs and practices of our faith.

So, what are you? Are you an accidental collection of bio-chemical reactions or a spiritual being with eternal value?  Are you a stimulus-response machine, a good person worthy of love, a sinful creature deserving punishment, or something else altogether?   It’s critical to wrestle with this question because who we are – or at least who we think we are – profoundly affects how we feel about ourselves, treat others and define success. Answer these questions and more on a 5 week exploration of The Nature of Man.
