#AllTheSmoke | Proof, Evidence, & Certainty of the Resurrection
The one thing that destroys every single argument against Jesus Christ as the actual, historical, living, breathing, 100% Creator God, 100% Man is the resurrection of Jesus. The fact that a historical Jesus lived, said the things He said, was killed dead, and then was alive a few days later validates each and every claim of Jesus, including He being the only way to God. All other religions, ideologies, spiritualities, and world views are left helpless and hopeless when held against the historical fact of the resurrection. In essence, the resurrection of Jesus Christ wants #AllTheSmoke

In Order to Believe | Jesus, Yahweh Walking Among Us
Today in our “In Order to Believe” message series Jesus chose a specific sign at a specific place for a specific purpose to start off His ministry. The book of John chapter 2 shows us how The Messiah decided to reveal Himself to a world lost in sin, and in desperate need of a Savior. Out of all the things Christ did, the Apostle John chose to share this one..., in order for us to believe.
In Order to Believe | Come & See
In today's message titled, "Come & See" from our “In Order to Believe” series in the Book of John, we take a look as the Apostle John continues his shift from an explicit doctrinal prose to a narrative prose as he begins to introduce Jesus’ ministry. Being that the purpose of him writing this masterpiece was for us to believe, John the Apostle gives us four specific people groups to share the this Good News with, along with two simple messages. In the end, the responsibility for salvation falls on the God-Man Savior. Our responsibility is simply to bring them to Christ.

In Order to Believe | The God-Man is Here
In today's study of God's Word with our series, "In Order to Believe," we see how The Creator, All Powerful, All Knowing, Word became man, thus becoming The God-Man, 100% God and 100% man.

In Order to Believe - Dark to Light, Sammy Sosa
The "Bad News" that corresponds to the "Good News" of the gospel message is.... that all humanity is in direct rebellion to an All-Mighty, All-Knowing, All-Present Creator God. From Adams choice of "My Way" versus "God's Way" we have lived in darkness within and without by disrupting God's original designed order with our "My Way" rebellions. Christ who condemns us also provided the rescue plan that is able to deliver us from the power of darkness.

Doctrine of the Church | Body of Christ
The Church is above all things the Body of Christ, his hands and feet in this world. There is no hierarchy, no pyramid schemes but a body of equally important members each gifted and enabled by the Holy Spirit to serve one another in love.
