Great Question

4/28/2019 to 5/19/2019

If God is real and loves us, why doesn’t he make himself more obvious?

May 19, 2019 • Joe Coffey

When we look for evidence of God, we might search for a loud voice to roll through the earth, or for writing to appear in the sky. Maybe we think that if God is real and loves us, he won't allow tragedies to happen in our lives. Scripture makes claims that God is all-powerful and all-knowing, so we look for obvious signs that prove those claims. So what's the problem with God being "obvious"? Join us for the last week of our Great Questions series as Pastor Joe preaches on the clearest sign of God's existence: lives radically transformed by Jesus Christ.

What can God tell me that science can’t?

May 12, 2019 • Joe Coffey

What can God tell us that science can't? Sometimes it feels easy to explain away any problem we face, whether it's in our own life or another's. There is a simple answer as to why socioeconomic problems exist, research to prove why some people get cancer while others don't, and data to show why divorce is so common. But what happens when the pain we experience can't be explained away? What happens when we are searching for healing, connection, and a place to dwell, but the facts are helping? It is in those moments that God meets us with something that science can't: love. Tune in as Pastor Joe teaches us how the deep, unfailing, and faithful love of God can transform our soul.

How can God be loving and send people to hell?

May 5, 2019 • Zach Weihrauch

Conversations about hell can be personal and painful. Maybe you've been told you will go to hell, or maybe you're unsure about what happened to a loved one after their passing. It can be difficult to understand why a loving God would send people to hell. But for just 30 minutes, consider putting those past experiences aside and listen to Pastor Zach Weihrauch argue that hell proves God is loving, as it is a monument that God sees and cares for victims.

If God is good, why is my life full of pain and difficulty?

April 28, 2019 • Joe Coffey

At some point in life, everyone will face trials of suffering, it's an inevitable part of the human experience. But how do we make sense of God's goodness along with the bad things that happen to us? One thing we know from Scripture is that God wants us to ask that question. Join Pastor Joe as he teaches why a simple answer will never suffice. Only Jesus can.
