    Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more

    The Story

     | 4,247 views

    Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

    As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

    We will not know everything till we get to heaven and so always humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and keep on listening and learning from Jesus Christ!

    We continue our study of the Gospel (the Good News) according to Luke.
