Hearing His Voice
When God Walked Among Us Part 17, with Guest Speaker Dylan Morss
March 12, 2012
Do you ever hear the voice of God? Do you think it would be easier to pick out a message in Morse code? It can be difficult to distinguish God's voice from our own thoughts and all the other messages around us, but God does want to communicate with us. When Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago, what did He have to say that could help us hear Him better?

When Jesus walked on the earth 2000 years ago, the main things he did were teaching and healing. As his followers today, what should we think about healing? How should we pray for people? And what do we do when the people we pray for don't get healed?

When God Walked Among Us Part 15
February 25, 2012
It's the day after Valentine's Day, and romance is in the air! Not far from romance and relationships, of course, is the subject of sex. How did Jesus respond to a woman found living in sexual sin? And what does that tell us about how God feels sexual sin? What about a person who has found themselves the victim of another person's sexual sin? Basically, where is God in all this?

What is the worst gift you were ever given? What about the best?

Who Do You Think Jesus Is
When God Walked Among Us Part 13
February 16, 2012
Have you ever looked forward to meeting someone, then when you did your first thought is, "Uh, you're not what I was expecting!" When Jesus started teaching and working miracles in Judea 2000 years ago, the Jews who had been anxiously awaiting God's promised Messiah felt the same way about him - not what they were expecting. What exactly were God's promises about the Messiah? Did Jesus live up to them? And how does that affect us today?

When God Walked Among Us Part 12
January 28, 2012
What's your opinion on casual dating? "He's funny, and we have a good time, but I'd never marry him." Heard that before? What about with Jesus? Are you into parts of Jesus, but not others? Do like how He makes you feel sometimes, but not sure about Him other times? Or are you ready to commit to Him, no matter what?

Leaving a Legacy
An Unlikely Hero Series Part 10
January 27, 2012
After King David was established on his throne, he decided he wanted to do a great thing for God: build a temple. But God told David not to do it, even though He was pleased David had the desire to build it. What was the point of that? How should we respond to God in this kind of situation? How should we make plans to serve God in the first place? Or should we just give up and go our own way with our dreams?

So What
An Unlikely Hero Series Part 9, with Guest Speaker Josh Solheim
January 11, 2012
A few years ago, Josh decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak on the African continent. After training for months and buying all the gear and plane tickets, and after finding out that two people had died on the mountain a few days before he began his hike, and after an arduous four-day climb, Josh was elated to summit the peak safely. On his way home, however, he felt disappointed, even empty. Have you ever completed something epic and wondered why it felt pointless? Solomon, the son of David who succeeded him as king of Israel, had everything that the world could offer, and still he asked the same questions about meaning and purpose. So, what is it? What's the point of life? When we come to the end of everything... so what?
