What If? Behind our fear, there is often a sense that we are losing control.  Fear throws the question “What if” at us?  What if I lose my job?  What if I get a bad diagnosis?  What if  often taps into our fear of losing control.  We often make the mistake and think that if life spins out of control, and we feel out of control, then God must be out of control as well.  There is a God who is bigger than our “What Ifs” and he wants to help us break free!

A Better Question - When it comes to the Christian faith, there is one question that trumps them all.  We many have questions and we may have doubts, but the ultimate question is “Who is Jesus?”  If you really start to answer that question, you will find out that it really is personal.

About the Series
It’s Personal - People who are not Christians all have a reason that they have never received Christ. They often have obstacles and questions that keep them from trusting Christ. The truth is though that adults rarely become Christians because all of their obstacles are removed. They just get smaller as something else gets bigger. When Jesus becomes personal, our obstacles may not completely disappear, but they are no longer a hindrance to us really trusting in Christ. Join us during this series as we seek to get personal with our faith.

Undeniable - There are many things in life that are unexplainable.  Many people feel that way about God and about Jesus.  If they can’t explain it, then they will not believe it.  There are many things however that may be unexplainable, but they are completely undeniable.  In John 9, meet a man who found Jesus to be completely undeniable even though he was unexplainable.

Coming to Terms - We often want God to come to us on our terms.  If He really is God though, shouldn’t we have to come to Him on his terms.  God revealed Himself to Abraham at a time when many people thought many different things about God.  God came on His terms, however, to reveal who He really was.  Are you ready to come to God - on his terms?
