This week we are going to begin a study of the book of Ecclesiastes. In this book we will see the pursuit of meaning from the perspective of someone that had a lot of pretty impressive experiences. As Solomon describes the things that he learned in his life, there are valuable lessons for us to learn from him today.
Most people have at some point asked the question, what is heaven really like? Do we sit around on clouds playing harps? Is it so peaceful that it is eerily quiet? Is it like a church service that drags on for eternity? If we are honest, when we think about these questions what we are really trying to determine is whether or not we think heaven is boring. This week we are going to look at Scripture to see how the Bible describes eternity with God.
Is a person who never hears the name of Jesus going to be punished because they have not placed faith in Him? Is Jesus really the only path to eternal life? Isn’t it arrogant for Christians to believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong? This week we are going to look at Jesus’ claim in the Gospel of John that new life only comes through him.
This week we will explore the likelihood of the resurrection of Christ and the implications of the resurrection for our faith today.
Many people, whether a steadfast Christian or an ardent skeptic of the faith, will at some point question the nature of Christ. This week we will be looking at how it is was possible that Jesus was fully human and fully Devine at the same time.
Perhaps the biggest question that believers, seekers, and critics of Jesus all ask relates to how a God that is good, loving, or powerful can permit the existence of suffering. Today we will examine the nature of suffering and the character of God.
As we kick off this series on Big questions, we will start by looking at the Bible. The Bible is a book that has sparked questions from the time it was formed. This week we will look at some of the biggest questions that people ask about the Bible.
What do you see in the Easter story? Do you see the risen Jesus who has died for your sins and risen from the dead to give you new life? Do you see grief of Mary that was turned to joy because Jesus is alive? Do you see Jesus as the teacher, the one who can show you how to truly live life? Do you see, or better yet, do you hear Jesus calling your name? Put yourself in John’s account of the Jesus’ resurrection and hear Jesus calling you into a new life with Him.
