Jesus claims “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” In a world of pluralism, where even Christians often believe there are many ways to God, Jesus offers a clear understanding of knowing God in profound ways. It can be confusing to understand Jesus within a culture that believes there are many paths to heaven.

Whether you’re looking for answers or deepening your own faith, be prepared to answer how to find the path to eternal life.

Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,” (Matthew 7:21)

Is it really possible to go through your entire life believing you’re a Christian, only to find out when it’s too late that you were wrong? Jesus seems to be warning exactly that.

As critical theory continues to march through Western culture, Christians must face hard choices between conformity to the world and conformity to Christ. But to what extent? How much does Jesus ask of us to follow him? With cultural conflicts all around us, how can we tell if we’re really and truly on the side of Jesus?

Do you know what it truly means to be a Christian? Are you certain that you really are Jesus’ disciple? The stakes are too high to ignore such a critical question!

Join Scott and Shawn as they examine the life and teaching of Jesus to understand the true cost and marks of being a disciple. Learn from Jesus himself what it means to call him “Lord”, and truly belong to him.

Is Hell real? Or a myth? Judgement, punishment and hell are concepts that seem wrong in the context of a loving God and compassionate Jesus. Scott and Shawn open the Bible and study Jesus’ teachings about life after death and the reality of eternal punishment. 

You might think about Hell with imagery: a lake of fire; heavy darkness; unending suffering. The Bible talks about the narrow road to heaven and the wide road to Hell. Is any of this true? Scott and Shawn work through the words of Jesus to help us understand the concept of eternal punishment in the context of the glory of God. 

Listen today to discover what Jesus had to say about hell.
