Weekday Worship

By Generations Norcross

Weekday Worship is a podcast of Generations Church in Norcross, GA designed to take our conversations about the gospel and life with God outside of just Sunday sermons and into the week. Whether through discussions of the sermon, theology, culture, or anything else, our desire with this podcast is to “exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today’” (Hebrews 3:13), and we pray that you are blessed by it.

Thinking Biblically About Abortion

Thinking Biblically About Abortion

This is part 1 of 2 in a conversation on abortion. Because this is such a charged issue that's influenced by so many different voices and perspectives with so many competing agendas, it usually generates more heat than light. We do not take for granted that our congregation has a uniform view on this matter, so it's genuinely our hope to have a conversation that brings more light than heat. For us, that means we have to do our best to lay aside all of our speculations to start with God's revelation; to step back from what everyone else says to examine what God says.
