I have a question for you. Do you ever feel like you've got pretty tired about the religion, but you're not prepared to dismiss your thirst for a relationship with your creator? Our world and community is full of people seeking spirituality but rejecting religion for the simple reason that they have experienced it firsthand!

This ‘Re:Jesus' series is an examination in the midst of a multitudes of options why the person of Jesus is the unparalleled transcendent of any one religion and a light for all.

John Stott says this: "Indeed, there are many people who are critical of the church yet who at the same time, retain a sneaking admiration for Jesus. In fact, I have never yet met anybody, nor do I expect to, who does not have a high regard for Jesus Christ."

"The Pharisees were good, faithful, religious people of their day. And it is good, faithful, religious of every era, who find themselves in conflict with Jesus." - Beverly Roberts Gavent
