Why Should I Believe the Bible?
We’ve all heard the different arguments people have for rejecting the Bible – “it’s full of contradictions”, “it’s been re-written and can’t be trusted”, “it’s outdated and regressive”. But are those claims and slogans about the Bible really true? In this sermon, we look at 1.) Why people don’t trust the Bible as authoritative in their lives, 2.) Why people can trust the Bible as authoritative in their lives, and 3.) Why people need to trust the Bible as authoritative in their lives.

What is God Like?
A.W. Tozer, author of several theological books, said "The most important thing about a person is what comes into their mind when they think about what God is like." In this message we look to the Bible to provide an answer for the foundational question - “What is God like?”

Can I Know God?
This message is the first in a series entitled "For the Curious". In this series, we hope to answer some foundational questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity. This first message centers on the question - "Can I know God?" We find that the answer to this question is found in Jesus Christ, through whom God has been brought to man, and man has been brought to God.

Redeeming Work
It is a common (although often unspoken) belief among Christians that God "calls" pastors and missionaries to serve, but not other jobs and professions - like being a teacher, lawyer, mechanic, or stay-at-home mom. The belief or assumption is that church work is service to the Lord, but not other work. This is not true! In this message, we look at how God calls and uses all of His people to bless His creation through their work.

Revelation and Relationship
One of the main themes of the Bible is that God has revealed Himself to people. He has revealed Himself through nature, through different prophets throughout history, and through Jesus. But, for what purpose? Why has God gone to such lengths to make Himself known to us? And, why are we so slow respond to His revelation? In this sermon we explore those questions and find that the primary reason for God’s revelation is relationship.

Understanding Our Need
On any given day, there are numerous events, situations, and encounters we witness and perceive. What we often fail to recognize is how much our view of ourself actually changes our perception of the rest of the world. As sinners, do we come to Jesus with an understanding of our own need to be healed? Or like the religious people of Jesus' day, do we treat his healing power with contempt and deny our own need to be continually healed by God?
