The Love & Wrath of God // David Clark

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:01:02 -0700

Scripture resonates with paradox, speaking in a language where opposites embrace. Death becomes the doorway to life, weakness is transfigured into strength, and the lowest seat becomes the place of honor. What seems like contradiction is, in truth, a deeper cohesion-threads of mystery woven into a single tapestry. What appears unresolved becomes a doorway, opening into the vastness of divine wisdom hidden within paradox. In this message David Clark takes a look at the paradox of God's Love and Wrath in Ephesians 2:1-7, and how these are compatible characteristics. We know that navigating life in college can be hard, so here’s the main thing to know: Challenge is a place where you meet your best friends, grow in navigating the challenges of life, and explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

In a world full of competing voices, distractions, and shifting foundations, the book of Hebrews calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus—the Superior Savior.
