Out of the ShadowsChris Brown, 05.13.12DescriptionTo some extent, all of us spend our lives projecting an image that is contrary to who we really are on the inside. We hide behind illusions of what we want people to see about us. It’s often easier to lie about your marriage, your career, your finances, or your relationship with God than to deal with the messy reality of life. But living in the shadows can prevent us from experiencing the life-changing truth that Jesus came for the real you, not the fake you.

The Meo-centric IllusionChris Brown, 05.20.12Coming soon...DescriptionSome of us bought a ticket to “It’s a small world” when we were kids and we rode it straight into adulthood where it became “It’s my world”. For many the appropriate theme song became “It’s my party and I can cry if I want to.” There is a gravitational pull in all of our lives to let every conversation, every pursuit, every decision, and dollar become about us. But, our most precious years don’t have to be lost on a small life!
Are questions, concerns, or doubts preventing you from making a personal connection with God?
This powerful series is directed to men and women who desire a personal relationship with God, but who have questions they want answered first.
In this four-part series, a case is made for the fact that adults don’t become followers of Christ by getting all their questions answered. In most instances, something happens that shrinks those questions. And that something is always personal. You don’t have to understand everything to believe in something.

Part 1 - A New ApproachAndy Stanley, 04.15.12DescriptionThe story about your heart starts with your head. Sometimes, we block the pathway to faith in Christ with all types of questions and doubts. But most people dont become Christians because their questions were answered. In fact, those doubts dont always disappear they just become smaller. Somewhere along the way, Christians choose to know God more than the answers to all of their questions.

Part 2 - Coming To TermsAndy Stanley, 04.22.12DescriptionWhat happens when you choose to let God reveal Himself on His conditions, not yours? One man in the Bible did just that. From him, we learn well never be able to overcome our natural questions and doubts until we approach God on His terms. Because the truth is, salvation begins with God. He made the first move.

Part 3 - UndeniableAndy Stanley, 04.29.12DescriptionYou dont have to understand everything to believe in something. In so many areas of life, we believe without hesitation. Yet when it comes to faith, were reluctant to jump in with unresolved questions. But, often, understanding follows faith. And what you learn on the other side cant be denied. After all, its personal.

Part 4 - A Better QuestionAndy Stanley, 05.06.12DescriptionWho is Jesus? Its the question that shrinks all other questions. And your answer will determine the validity of your doubts and hesitations about Christ. When you reject Christianity, you aren't merely rejecting a moral code or a belief system you are rejecting a person, Jesus Christ, the living Savior. In this final part of the series, Andy prompts non-believers to ask the question, Who are you, Lord?
The Easter story hinged on two unlikely characters, Nick and Joe. These two men’s actions allowed first century Christians, and eventually us today, to be confident in Christ’s resurrection. In this message, Andy tells the story of Nick and Joe’s boldness in the face of great personal risk. The Easter story might never have made it out of the first century without them!
