MESSAGE SERIES –
A TOP DOWN FAITH
When: June 9 – June 30
Add’l: We will see that Christianity is very much a top-down faith. Christian teachings come “from the top down,” but not in the sense that those teaching are oppressively imposed on us. When we call Christianity a “top-down faith, “ we mean that it tells us things about God that are so beautiful and good-teachings that couldn’t possibly have originated from human thinking.
