Pastor Marty brings a special message on the church's responsibility. How we interact and operate as a church is like a ship. We all have a part to play.

One of the biggest barriers to belief in God is that we don’t want to believe because we don’t want to need anyone. But what if autonomy is an illusion?

Many think the best way to rid the world of injustice is to rid the world of God. You can only recognize injustice if you know what justice is to begin with.

If big "G" God has lost His appeal, it's because we’ve mixed Him up with a gaggle of little “g” gods that don’t exist. So then, how can we know what God is really like?

Do you find some of the Bible’s stories about God unsettling? Does Christianity seem like a fragile house of cards that may tumble down in the face of scientific or archeological discovery?

Everyone has religious doubts. Certain things about God are unsettling. Our circumstances can make God seem distant or vengeful. Science can make God seem unnecessary. Those doubts can cause us to abandon faith. But maybe our perspectives are wrong. Maybe the gods we abandon never existed to begin with.

Join us as wee launch our new series "Who Needs God?" More Americans than ever are backing away from religion . . . and God. Not because atheism is attractive, but because religion is unattractive. Religion is seen as the problem. It’s thought of as a source of conflict and violence. So, it’s worth asking the question: who needs God?

Paul "the apostle" had extraordinary confidence regarding the event of the resurrection.

Paul "the pharisee" provides us with extraordinary clarity regarding our connection with the Old Testament.

Instead of seeing the Old Testament as a spiritual guidebook or a storyline that needs to be tidied up, maybe we should see it as something even better—the history of God preparing the world for a Savior.

The Old Testament records God’s redemptive, sequential activity in history. It’s a gritty and epic history of the Hebrew people in which, over and over, Israel is reminded that they are a divine means to a divine end.

Genesis was a world where the violence and injustice of the “gods” justified and legitimized the violence and injustice of human rulers. Moses introduced a radically different and unparalleled worldview.

“In the beginning” can be a loaded phrase—one that forces us into debate and doubt. But what if we’re missing the point of Genesis 1:1?

How we got OUR Bible is not how we got THE Bible.

Understanding how we got The Bible is almost as important as knowing what’s in it. The backstory sheds light on the story.

Christian generosity is known through seven unmistakable qualities.

We all want to get the future right, and we all want to arrive safely at our intended destination. Follow these rules and you will get there on time and on purpose.
