Jul 26th - Not Who You Think God Is, with Rev. Dr. Steven Koski. Series: More Than You Think: Discovering the Parables of Jesus A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Luke 16.19–26.

Ever felt like life is a constant test, and you’re never quite good enough to pass? This Sunday we’re talking about a different way to see God, ourselves, and the people right at our front gate. A God who meets us in our mess, not after we’ve cleaned it up. If you’re hungry for a faith that looks more like grace than pressure, you’re welcome to join us online or in person this Sunday.

Join us each Sunday, 10AM at bendfp.org, or 11AM KTVZ-CW Channel 612/12 in Bend. Subscribe/Follow, and click the bell for alerts.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.

We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
