Noticing the pop-culture buzz about Heaven and Hell, Time Magazine’s current cover is: ‘What if there’s no Hell?’ Inside it refers back to the famous Easter Issue from 1966 with the cover: ‘Is God Dead’. There’s a lot of questions swirling around right now about the afterlife:

• What about the guy on an island who has never heard about Jesus?
• What about the other religions?
• What about the friend of mine that doesn’t believe in God but is nicer than most Christians I know?
• What would we do for all eternity in heaven or hell?
• If all the people who seem to know how to really party are going to hell, doesn’t that sound like a better place to spend eternity?

With all the questions surrounding one’s Final Destination, we thought you’d might like to hear what Jesus said about the topic.  After all, he’s the only one whose died and come back to tell us about it.  Sure there’s tons of “near death experiences”, but history only has a detailed record of one man’s journey to the grave and back.

Join us this month for a thought provoking look at our Final Destination.

You and someone you know probably needs to be here for this series which runs from March 27th to April 17th.  If you missed a week, you can listen here.

Some people pray with loud voices or use eloquent old English that Shakespeare would be impressed with, but is God?

It’s no wonder that people are often confused about prayer.  In this series I hope that we can look through the Bible and perhaps clear the air and open the skies about prayer.  My hope for you in this series isn’t that you would simply pray more, that might just make you more religious.  My hope is that you’d feel comfortable entering a conversation with the Living God.

In this series we will look at our common need for intimacy, meaning, and destiny. Do these soul cravings pointing to the existence of and our need for God? Our hope is that you consider and chase after the spiritual implications of your soul’s deepest longings during this series.

So what’s with the apple? Why do we keep taking bite after bite. Join us from October 24-November 14 as we look for answers in God’s Word.

Around 94% of people in America say they believe in God, but I think we could all agree that 94% of Americans don’t live like they believe in God. According to the Barna Research Group, 72% claim to have a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, yet only 4% of adults really understand the essentials of the Christian faith. Where’s the disconnect?

Are we actual Christians or practical atheists? Do we believe what we profess? Are our lives affected by what we read and see in the Bible? Why do we claim Jesus, but deny Him in our daily actions?  If you call yourself a Christian, are you who you say you are?

This month we’ll be exploring this question: “Are we actual Christians or practical atheists?”

In this series, you will be challenged to take part in changing the world around you by adopting the strategy Jesus used: becoming a “guerrilla lover“. Just as a small group of people who deliver surprise attacks can change the course of a war, you can change the course of love in this world. With engaging true stories of everyday guerrilla lovers, our hope is to inspire you to wage war on complacency and surprise the people around you with acts of love.

es-sen-tial – that which is basic or indispensable; necessary |

This month we are looking at those few things that are indispensable or necessary in order for us to have a right relationship with God both as a church and as individuals.  We will be looking at the simple yet profound elements of our faith: truth, love, restoration, authenticity, and synergy.
