What was your first exposure to the concept of Heaven and Hell? Was it someone knocking on your front door, asking you questions and handing you pamphlets? Maybe someone shouting scripture from a bullhorn on a street corner? Even though all Christians haven't done the best job at consistently explaining the afterlife, it still is important to the basics of the faith. Who better to turn to for guidance on the truth of the afterlife than Jesus himself? In this podcast we look at 3 teachings of Jesus on the Afterlife and make some observations on how we can share that message with those who have yet to accept Christ.

You've probably heard of the bible...but what is it? Some dusty tome set on your mantle place? A family heirloom that no one touches? Maybe you're not quite sure what to think about it. Christians over time have turned to it for understanding, but is it more than just an instruction manual for the "religious?" How was it put together and in what way is it still relevant to our daily lives? Journey with us as we look at this book so important to Christianity. The B-I-B-L-E.

We're looking at the basics of the Christian faith in this series, but none of that matters if you don't have faith. Dig into Hebrews 11 with me and see how others who've gone before us had faith, what that looked like. Also see how it worked out for him. Ultimately no one else's faith journey can give you you're own. You've got to make the choice yourself to trust fully in God.

Have you ever thought the Christian faith seemed too complicated? Well perhaps religious ceremony, garb and architecture have over shadowed the most basic of Christian faith beliefs, overwhelming people in the process. In this series we intend to look at the basics of the Christian faith in easy to understand and easy to relay terms. Using visual aids (see blog page  https://viroquanaz.home.blog ) It is our goal to give believers the tools to share their faith and seekers the opportunity to learn more. 

This session we focus on salvation.

Jeremiah makes a point in a big way in this chapter...but will the people "get" it?

Sometime it take a sudden, shocking noise to make us take notice of the judgement coming out way if change does not occur. 

Tips on pottery and sermon illustrations straight from God himself. Who could ask for more? So Jeremiah didn't have the easiest job, proclaiming doom and exile on the people of Israel, but God sure was helpful to hand craft some visual aids to help get the point across.

Join us again as we look through Jeremiah 18, the properties of clay and how that connects to us today.

Jeremiah had some really great sermon illustrations just dumped into his lap. In this series we look at a few of them and connect the dots between the message given so long ago and the one God has for us today. It may be an immature question, but it connects to the message: "What did you bury under there?" listen to find out.

Do you work and work and work and wonder..."What good is all my work?"

Labor day is a day to celebrate and appreciate the U.S.'s labor workforce. But what does the bible say about Labor?

Picture this: A person gets their life all straightened out. They aren't doing the destructive things they once did, they can hold down a steady job, they're responsible, they seem happy to be free of a past burden. Then one day they CRASH and crash, Hard! They seem to be in worse condition than they were before their life changed. What went wrong? 

Jesus addresses this in Matthew 12:43-45. We will attempt to find out the 3 things to be "Better off than Before" and not worse off than before.

You know people talk about praying...but what is prayer anyway?
