Facing Life's Giants

Sunday Evening Series

Everyone faces giants. They worry you, keep you awake at night, and get your adrenaline pumping. Life’s challenges also offer some of the greatest opportunities you’ll ever have. Will you stand up to life’s challenges by faith, or will you be knocked over by them?

In Gordon’s new PM series “Facing Life’s Giants” we will learn from the life story of one of history’s greatest leaders, King David, and encounter the courage and conviction to experience God’s victory even when the going gets tough. David conquered his Goliath, are you ready to do the same?

What’s So Amazing About Grace?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

What's So Amazing About Grace?

Sunday Morning Series

When asked about the one thing that separated Christianity from other world religions, C.S. Lewis quickly responded, “grace.” He was right. When Jesus died on the Cross, he proved the depth of God’s love for mankind in a way never seen before. Through his life and death Jesus poured grace and mercy over all who would put their faith in him. Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., takes us through a journey of grace in his series “What’s So Amazing About Grace?”.

Complete Idiots of the Bible

Complete Idiots of the Bible

Sunday Evening Series

The Bible describes momentous historical events, impressive miraculous signs and wonders, and God’s amazing redemptive plan to save mankind. In contrast, the Bible also records the lives of people who were walking train wrecks. People like Samson, Jonah, and Jezebel were not defined by one single slip-up, but by a series of colossally dim-witted decisions. While God was still able to use some of them during their lifetimes, he can use all of them today to teach us about practical life wisdom and godly decision making. Don’t miss Gordon’s new Sunday evening study: “Complete Idiots of the Bible: They messed up so you don’t have to.”

Being a Believer in an Age of Skeptics

Being a Believer in an Age of Skeptics

Sunday Evening Series

Is it reasonable to be a person of faith in an age of science and technology? Are the foundations of the Christian faith solid or are they crumbling in the light of modern scrutiny? In the new PM series “Belief in an age of skeptics,” Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., will present explanations and evidence for the pillars of faith and take on the hard issues. Reliability of the Bible, Science and Religion, and Why does God allow Suffering are some of the topics we’ll be studying over the next few weeks. Come and strengthen your faith! Skeptics are welcome.
