http://conradhilario.podomatic.com Lots of people ask us what Xenos means. So, I wanted to include a brief explanation because it characterizes who we are. Xenos is the Greek word for "sojourner," "alien," or "stranger." The Bible depicts followers of Jesus as passers-by in this world. Therefore, we are eagerly await and long for the next life, promised to us by God. That is why at Xenos we are radically committed to two things: loving God and loving people. These after all, are two things that endure this life and will remain in the next. en-us podOmatic RSS Generator Tue, 15 May 2012 14:44:29 GMT bible,campus,christian,christianity,conrad,fellowship,ohio,state,students,university,xenos Xenos Christian Fellowship: www.xenos.org Conrad Hilario hilarioc@xenos.org no no Conrad Hilario Lots of people ask us what Xenos means.

And in this passage Paul gives the Thessalonians explains why they are experiencing suffering due to persecution, that God can use temporary pain for a greater good in their lives and the lives of others.

In this teaching, we will explore the nature of God's judgment and what it would look like if God did not judge. http://conradhilario.podomatic.com/entry/2012-05-15T06_56_18-07_00 http://conradhilario.podomatic.com/entry/2012-05-15T06_56_18-07_00 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:41:44 GMT 2012-05-15 2012-05-15 http://conradhilario.podomatic.com Conrad Hilario audio,bible,campus,christian,christianity,conrad,fellowship,ohio,state,students,thessalonians,university,wwwxenosorg,xenos 3131 no A theodicy is a vindication or justification of God's goodness amidst and evil world.

Leadership, from a biblical perspective is very different from the leadership we see in our world. It is not about asserting yourself or trying to dominate and gain control over people. It is about getting underneath people and serving.
