    Study 4 of a series setting out Christian Belief in Jesus as God.

    The J.W`s say that nowhere in the Bible do you find any statement that Jesus is God. They are wrong. The Bible says that Jesus is God right through the Old Testament and on to the end of the New. In these next studies I intend to show that very clearly. Let`s look at the claims of Jesus. a) I ...read more

    First in a five week series about Jesus Christ. I trust this series will give us a new appreciation for who Jesus Christ is and what He has done.

    The Identity of Christ Text: Matthew 16:13-17 I. The common question—Whom do men say that I am? Some say Jesus was a prophet. Others say He was a great teacher. Religions of the world admit that He was a good man. But really, who is this Jesus which is called Christ? “You can speak of Jesus as ...read more

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 16, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,039 views

    Was the Resurrection a Myth concocted out of many ancient stories? Rob Bell seems to think so.

    Recently, I watched a video from a preacher named Rob Bell. He has attained a certain level of popularity recently due to his book Love Wins, which many evangelicals have denounced as a purely universalistic treatment of important Scriptural texts. Now, I may soon deal with Rob Bell’s claims ...read more

    This topical message examines the famous trilemma of C.S. Lewis and answers a very important question for our day.

    Jesus Christ: Liar, Lunatic, Or Lord? Who do you say that I am? Mark 8:29 Have you ever met anybody who said things about themselves that made you scratch your head & say, Coo-coo?” I remember a boyhood friend of mine named Greg who told me he was a robot from another planet. The ...read more

    The technical name for this proof is the 'Transcendental Proof for the Existence of God.' It shows that it is impossible for God not to exist because you cannot have objective truth, morality, knowledge, reason, or science w/o God.

    What would you say to me if I told you that I do not believe in “words.” More than likely you are thinking, “Are you kidding me? That is foolish. You don’t believe in words? Come on! That is ridiculous!” Everyone believes that words exist. It would be foolish to pull ...read more
