St. John's United Methodist Church - Turnersville NJ

Our mission, as a church, is to come alongside of families. We are in the people business. Our investment, as a church, is in people. 

Faith must be personal but it is never solo. 

Take a look at 3 examples of devoted followers: Abraham  (Gen. 22:1-14), Mary (John 12:1-8) & Paul (Phil. 3:7-14)

What does it take to ve completely devoted? 

Where can I grow in the area of my devotion? 

How can I demonstrate my devotion? 

As Christians, we believe it. We respect it. We wish others would respect it but we don't read it. There are now generations of people who have not grown up with the Bible. Why would they believe it is true? Just because we say it is? Look up: Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119, Psalm 1

Science and "religion" seem to always be placed at opposite ends of the argument. But are they really? 

Powerful message about a question that we have all asked at one time or another. 

Why might non-believers like Jesus more than Christians? 

• Skeptical of organized religion
• Hyposcrisy
• Judgement/Guilt/Shame
• Bad Church experience
• Community Gone Bad

Maybe you went to Sunday School or Vacation Bible School as a child and learned about God with childlike eyes. Does He change when we get older? Can the bible stories of our youth help us today? 

Is it ok to question God? We know that we all do it. Can my childhood faith stand up to adult problems? Can I like Jesus but not Christians? Why do bad things happen to good people? Can reason and science disprove Christianity? Why should I trust the Bible? 

The next 6 weeks we will unpack these questions and more.
