Punishment, pt. 1

October 18, 2026

Ben Conachan

This week, Jesus meets a question many of us carry in our bones—“Am I being punished?”—and offers a very different way to make meaning of loss and suffering. Along the way we trace how what happens to us can move from punishment, to consequence, to gift.

Very Important All-Church Building Update

If you call Pearl Church home, please plan on joining us for this Very Important All-Church Building Update! As a community, we are facing some big changes to the spaces our adults and kids meet in on Sunday, and our mid-week gathering space. These changes are exciting and help us meet our vision, but also create some real challenges for us as well. The Oversight Team will be sharing what is coming and the different ways we can all participate in supporting our community through a season of transition.

Reconstructing Christian Faith Retreat

Many people who find themselves at Pearl have either begun or are in the process of deconstructing harmful Christian faith. Yet, what is good Christian faith? To help thoughtfully answer this important question, you’re warmly invited to participate in a special weekend at the coast, filled with meaningful content and community engagement. To ensure that there’s space for dialogue, we’re capping this offering at eight people. Please RSVP no later than October 11 so that we can reserve an appropriate house based on sign ups.

By way of content, here are the topics we’ll cover:

Session One, Gospel as Good News
Session Two, Bible, Part I: Formation, Accommodation, & Inspiration
Session Three, Bible, Part II: Books, Section, & Trajectory
Session Four, Salvation & Atonement
Session Five, The Afterlife
Session Six, Being Christian
