Minority Report

Minority Report Review

September 20, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

A review of the six part minority report series.

Endings

September 13, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

Some people think that this life is all there is, so the end is the end. The Bible has a different perspective. The Bible's viewpoint is that heaven is real, and so, for those who believe in Jesus, the end is just the beginning.

Unknown God

September 6, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

Are there many paths to find God, or is there, as Jesus claims, just one way? And, if so, could it be that this seemingly exclusive belief system is actually more inclusive and freeing than any other?

Tolerance

August 30, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

Does tolerance mean accepting everything, no matter what? Or is there a better way? Is there a way to be both loving and challenging at the same time? Today we explore how Jesus dealt with that issue.

Human Nature

August 16, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

If we are all good at heart, why is it taking so long for the world to evolve to a better place? The truth is the human heart is selfish, self-centered, and self-seeking. This was not God's original plan for us, but a result of Adam and Eve's trust in themselves rather than God and their temptation by Satan. If our hearts are truly focused only on ourselves, what hope do we have? Fortunately God had another plan. Through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit we are given a new heart. One which seeks to overcome the three "selfs" we are born with.

Beginnings

August 9, 2015 • Pastor Richard Schmidt

God's creation is awesome! Complex and simple. Powerful and gentile. Beautiful and fearful. Science has given us a peek into the workings of creation but only scratches the surface. Today's culture however would have us feel that believing beyond what we know from science, believing that God is author and creator of it all, is an irrational point of view. Science has indeed answered many questions, but the most important questions - why do we matter, why do we love, why would a Saviour die on a cross for us can only be answered from a Biblical perspective.
