Guest speaker Dr. Vince Bantu brings a wealth of historical knowledge to the long-standing Christian debate between biblical orthodoxy and social justice.

Jesus gave two great commandments: "Love God" and "Love your neighbor." However, historically, the church has had trouble holding both of those commands together. We tend to focus on one or the other. What would it look like if we genuinely pursued both of those commands with equal zeal and energy? What kind of impact could we have on the world?

Jesus wasn't the first person to point out the most important commandments are to love God and love your neighbor. However, his definition of "neighbor" was as revolutionary in his day as it is today. Are we any closer to loving our neighbor than were the religious practitioners in the time of Jesus?

When we think of God, it's easy to think of God as Father -- we intuitively understand that image. When we read about the works of Jesus, we can understand God as Son. However, it's more difficult to understand God as Holy Spirit. Who or what is the Holy Spirit, and what difference does He/it make in my life?

After we discover that our general purpose is to bring glory to God in all that we think, say and do, we may begin wandering what specific purpose God has for our lives. Check out this insightful sermon about how God reveals to us his specific purpose for our lives.

All life is dynamic. All life is designed for progress, growth, development and forward motion. We're never static. We're always in process. So, when it comes to your spiritual life, what is your next step?

Listen to this sermon and hear the deep and powerful Biblical answer to one of life's most important questions.

Simple question to ask. Difficult question to answer. What is a Christian? Christians can be defined by their beliefs, their sacraments or their ethics. However, overwhelmingly, when people are asked what they think of Christians, they reference various attitudes they observe from Christians. So, what is truly the essence of what it means to be a Christian?
