Is Christianity “Made in America”? (Full Sermon)

Why is the Church Full of Intolerant Hypocrites? (Full Sermon)
Counterfeits. Phonies. Pretenders. Why is the Church full of people like this? Today we tackle this question head-on: What is hypocrisy? Why are Christians so susceptible?

How Can I Believe in the God of Sexism, Slavery, and Slaughter? (Full Sermon)
Have you ever met someone who used the Bible as a weapon? Bible thumping preachers and Christians have caused all kinds of harm throughout history, and also draw attention to some problematic concepts in the text itself. If this book is the clearest window into the nature of God, how can I believe in the God of sexism, slavery, and slaughter?Dr. Danny Strange • Explore God series

Can One Religion Have All the Answers? (Full Sermon)
There are 6.9 Billion people in the world, and each of us has to make a decision regarding who God is. This decision has sparked Holy Wars and split families. How can anyone be sure they’re found the truth? Is it arrogant to believe we can see clearly and everyone else is still stumbling around in the dark? Is it possible that some of the other religions have found God too? In other words, can one religion have all the answers?Dr. Danny Strange • Explore God series

Can I Have Jesus Without All the “God” Stuff? (Full Sermon)
Jesus is the most influential person in the history of the world. But the question must be asked, “How did someone with such extreme and even unbelievable views become as famous as Jesus did?” When there are some things about Jesus that we want to hold onto and some we want to ignore or reject, the question we need to answer is, “who was Jesus, really?”Dr. Danny Strange • Explore God series

Life is Good! Why Should I Care About God? (Full Sermon)
It’s common for many of us to receive unsolicited letters or emails that we barely glance at before dismissing. Simply put, we're just not interested. For some, any mention of exploring a relationship with God is met with the same instant rejection that an unsolicited email faces. In this message, we dive into addressing the issue of spiritual apathy—both in others, and perhaps in ourselves.Dr. Larry Vold • Explore God series
