December 31, 2023 - 02:36 PM


In today's world, who can you trust? Stockbrokers don't always pick winners. Doctors make mistakes. Fortune-tellers are virtually never reliable. Whose word is good? Is the Bible simply another authority we cannot trust? In this study, we look at what the Bible claims to be and do in our lives.

Why Do I Need The Bible?

January 02, 2022 - 04:53 PM


In the sweltering heat of August in 1885, six and one-half inches of rain fell in Chicago in only 24 hours. Sewage from the city’s 750,000 residents and runoff from the stockyards washed into the Chicago River. The polluted water flowed into Lake Michigan. According to an exaggerated story in the Chicago Tribune, this toxic brew was sucked into the city’s drinking water. Soon people claimed that cholera, dysentery, and typhoid were ravaging parts of the city. In later years it was said that one in eight Chicagoans died from the toxic water. For years this was known as the 1885 Chicago epidemic. The problem was that when an investigative writer began researching the story in 2000, she found the entire story to be a hoax. In reality, fewer people died in Chicago in 1885 than in other years. The entire 1885 epidemic was gossip and urban legend that took on a life of their own and was assumed to be true. There was no evidence to back it up. Many people feel the same way about the Bible. Is the Bible is nothing more than a collection of word-of-mouth stories or is it factual truth? Join me as we learn why we can trust the Bible and why we need to let the Bible saturate our life.

Psalm 19 - Take Up And Read

January 10, 2021 - 02:16 PM


For the last 40 years, Gallup surveyed Americans about their belief in the Bible. In 2017, for the first time in the Gallup’s history, more Americans believed the Bible was a book of fables, legends, and moral principles recorded by man (26%) than believed the Bible is the Word of God and relevant to everyday life (24%). More Americans see the Bible as irrelevant than prior generations! Is reading the Bible a waste of time and energy? What happens when we neglect reading the Bible? What does God promise will happen when we take time to read the Bible? This weekend, we study Psalm 19. Join me as we learn why Bible reading is essential for our joy and life.
