The First Cast

You have probably heard it before, "I don't have to go to church to be a Christian." You also don't have to have a parachute to jump out of a plane, a lawyer to go to court, or an oxygen tank to go scuba diving...well...you get the point! Assembling with other believers is crucial for the Christian! The person of God needs the people of God.

Christians, they just have blind faith. Life is so hard, they need to make up something to feel good about! Is that true? Is faith blind? What is faith anyway? Let's talk about it!

"You are enough." That sure sound's good, doesn't it? Everyone wants to fill valued and worthy. However, are we enough?

Hurt people, hurt people. No doubt, we have all been hurt by someone. Sometimes, the wounds are so deep that we struggle to forgive, much less forget. So, what does the Bible say about forgiveness? Is forgiving also forgetting?

Love is love....or is it? What is love (🎵 Baby Don't Hurt me🎵 )? How do we make sense of our sexually confused culture? What kind of sexual ethic do we find in scripture?

Follow your heart! Have a big decision? Follow your heart! What direction in morality? Just follow your heart! Our culture is quick to offer this advice. Is it a good idea to follow our hearts?

It is a frequently quoted verse. It is played as a trump card to end all arguments. "Judge not." So, should Christians make judgments? Does everyone judge sometimes? Is there a right and wrong way to judge our behavior and that of other people?

God just wants me to be happy. Right? Is it possible, that what makes me happy might be bad for me? Perhaps happiness today is misery tomorrow? Is happiness tied to circumstances?

We have all heard it when going through difficult times, "Hang in there, you know God won't give you more than you can handle." Is that really the case? At times, life can feel overwhelming. At times, it feels as though God allows way more than we can handle! What gives?

Companies build their brand with catchy slogans. At times, we find slogans in our culture that promote an idea or philosophy. Sometimes, these phrases even get repeated by well meaning Christians! In this series, we examine and challenge some of the popular slogans of our day. In this message, we examine the phrase, "Live Your Truth." Does everyone get their own "truth". Are we entitled to our own facts? Is it a truth, or the truth?
