THE TRUTH ABOUT HEAVEN

So everybody knows what Heaven’s going to be like, right?  Clouds, and wings, and elevator music?
The Bible presents Heaven as the ultimate goal and reward for believers, but how much of our image of this place is truly based on scripture, and how much is well----wrong?

Be prepared to challenge your assumptions.  Take a look at what the Word of God says about our eternal destination. 

Hear a message called THE TRUE STORY OF HEAVEN.

Listen well.

HOW YOU BUILD A BETTER YOU

Most of us want to be better----- better husbands, better wives, better at our jobs, have better relationships, have better finances.  The demand for improvement creates an abundant supply of advice from everyone about how you can be better at being you.

But what advice does Jesus give?

In a brief parable Jesus, the master carpenter, provides a powerful framework for constructing the kind of life that you’ve been seeking.

Hear a message about the parable of the two builders and learn what the Word of God says about HOW YOU BUILD A BETTER YOU.

Listen well.

WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF AND WHY

A good mechanic can fix your car because he/she know the parts and how those parts are supposed to work together.  A great mechanic also understands why the parts work the way they do.  A great mechanic can do more than fix what’s wrong.  A great mechanic can actually make it work better.

If you want to fix what’s wrong in your life, if you want to make yourself into a better you, then there are some thing you need to know.

Find out what those things are in a message called WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF AND WHY.

Listen well.

BETTER WITH TIME?

From our seat in the modern world, we look back at the past and think about those poor people who weren't as "advanced" as we are. 

But, who’s really smarter:

The guy in the SUV using GPS to find a McDonald’s, or the scientist in the 60’s who put men on the moon twice using a computer that was the size of a room but slower than a kid’s Iphone, or the Vikings who without maps or a written language managed to row across the Atlantic ocean and back.

The homeowner who running into Lowe’s for a paint color that’ll last a year longer than the last one or the cave man who’s handprint made in a mixture of berry juices is still there after tens of thousands of years.

The armies of designers and contractors who spend billions of dollars constructing skyscrapers with steel and concrete or the ancient Egyptians who without bulldozers, welding torches, or mortar to hold the blocks together built pyramids that are still standing today in one of the harshest climates on earth.

Who’s really more clever, the modern chef who comes up with a new chocolate sauce for his duck confit or the prehistoric man walking through a field who looks at the seeds on top of a stand of weeds and says, “Ugg!  Me think that if me pick these, grind them under stone, add liquid, and apply heat evenly around mixture, then me make new food.  Me call it 'bread.' ”

Who’s really more “advanced,” our contemporary philosophers and pundits who with all their theories of evolution and alien intervention can’t accurately predict next year’s interest rates or this afternoon’s weather, or the ancient Mayans who’ve got them freaking out cause one of them ran out of space while writing on a rock.

We come to a place in which we have animals (pets) that die if they eat regular food that isn’t processed and people that die from eating food processed especially for human consumption.

Evolution maintains that human beings are getting better and smarter.

Ya’ sure about that?
