Unseen: The Thin Places
February 14, 2016 • Forrest Jenan
Back in the 1800's, medical discoveries about the unseen world of germs and micro-organisms effectively changed the way people lived. The Bible talks about an unseen world as well ... a world where God exists and where angels, demons, Satan, heaven and hell all seem to interact. It's a space or reality all around us that goes unseen but impacts everything we see and how we live.
Unseen: Hell
February 21, 2016 • Joshua Ryan Butler
How can a loving God send people to hell? Many of us fear hell is a skeleton hiding in God's closet. Hell is a hot topic for the Christian faith that has a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. Hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. In this talk, Joshua Ryan Butler thoughtfully confronts our popular caricatures of hell and reveals that hell is consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God.
Unseen: Heaven

Heaven is often talked about as if it were a dream or someplace that only exists in fairytales. We want to believe heaven is real, but with so many differing opinions and contradictory information, it’s hard to know what to believe. If that weren't enough, everywhere you look, a new movie or book comes out that tells the story of someone who died, went to heaven, and came back. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a straight-forward examination of what the Bible has to say about heaven and how heaven relates to the life of Jesus?
Unseen: Spiritual Conflict
March 20, 2016 • Forrest Jenan
Spiritual Conflict is a really big idea that’s wrapped up in mountains of questions. The basic idea is that there is an unseen realm populated by cosmic beings who have aligned themselves with either God or Satan. At stake is nothing less than all of creation. In an effort to make this big topic accessible and relevant, Forrest Jenan boils Spiritual Conflict down to this: Satan Attacks, God Empowers, and Our Choices Matter.
