    This is one of the most challenging passages in the New Testament. Why does Jesus say, "You are gods"?

    - This is a difficult passage that needs to be unpacked carefully. And so we are going to walk through it step-by-step and verse-by-verse to see if we can make it all add up. - Also, bonus question as we start: can anyone name the gospel passage that happens at Hanukkah? No? Well, let’s see ...read more

    Why is Scripture foundational for everything we do. Every time we come together, we read the word and hear it proclaimed. Why is the Word of God so critical to us?

    Word 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Two young boys were out in a large field playing hide and seek. As the first boy leaned against a tree covering his eyes and counting to 100, the other boy ran across the field and climbed up into another tree to hide.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 544 views

    "Why does the Bible make unbelievers uncomfortable?" This discomfort isn't a new phenomenon. Throughout history, the message of the Bible has often been met with resistance and unease.

    Why Does the Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? I once read about a man who was vehemently opposed to Christianity. After years of resistance, a simple, loving conversation with a believer opened his heart to the gospel. Today, he is a passionate follower of Christ, using his testimony to reach ...read more

Is He central in our view or do loads of other things distract us? There are so many calls on our time and ...read more

     | 9,146 views

    Our media and our culture here in the United States has tried to fill our minds with pictures of what the ideal person should look like. This has led many to develop eating disorders, The same happens in a spiritual sense also.

We all need food to be healthy in this life and to be able to have the energy and strength to serve and love God. The way we eat, or don't eat, shows how devoted we are to being healthy physically.
