Some topics never get discussed openly in church because they're too controversial. Consequently, many find the church to be irrelevant and out-of-touch with contemporary life. Community Conversations Online is an internet-based forum hosted by Pastor Randy Maxwell of the Kuna Seventh-day Adventist Church that invited dialogue on contemporary issues and how they relate to faith. Does the book of Daniel predict an end-time holy war between followers of Muhammad and followers of Jesus? Is there hope for gay individuals who love God but didn't lose their same-sex attraction in the waters of baptism? Is there grace after abortion? These questions and more are discussed with a live and on-line audience with guest presenters: Tim Roosenberg, Wayne Blakely, and Kay Painter. Titles - "Abortion, Secrets, and Grace"
- Guest Kay Painter will share her powerful story on our Community Conversations webcast entitled "Abortion, Secrets, and Grace." Kay says, "Perhaps you remember the TV show years ago called 'I've got a secret.' Countless individuals have one tucked away deep in the recesses of their hearts and minds. I found a selfish choice brought an unexpected condemnation. I felt like the bottomless shame and guilt could never be erased. I was overwhelmed by the sense of separation from the God that once knew loved me. What's your secret ? What's in your past you believe can never be erased? There's amazing news! God's grace has given you the power to defeat that haunting past." You won't want to miss this amazing story of restoration. See Kay's website: www.rememberingsara.net
