So maybe you aren’t a drama queen, but you are playing a role. Get ready to check out what that role is, and how you feel about it. This is best done while everyone is wearing a mask – so do come with your favorite mask, or full costume if you are feelin’ it.

Relationships Without Roots

Sam Estochen — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 21:39:26 +0000

What does the hit series ‘Twilight’ actually say about relationships? Whether you enjoyed the movies or not… you not going to want to miss this! This Sunday November 21st!

What is God’s plan for my life?

Sam Estochen — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:12:38 +0000

Thinking about what courses to take, what college to choose, what to major in, what kind of job you should take? You’ve heard that God has a plan for your life, so why is it so hard to figure this stuff out??? Surely there must be some verses in the bible that will tell you exactly what to do, right?

Fresh from a stint on Broadway where the lights are always bright and the crowds applauding, I’ll be hitting this subject head on. If you want to reduce some of that pressure you’re feeling, or be able to help out some friends that are ‘feelin it’, then be there this coming Sunday Nite.

p.s. get ready for a drama unlike anything you have seen this year. …………….bob

How to KNOW for Sure.

Mike’s last message series – on how to differentiate Christianity from other world religions – he mentioned a number of websites where you could learn more. Here are those sites for your reading pleasure………

Links to sites with answers to many spiritual questions (recommended by Mike)

http://www.whyibelieve.org/
A website with links to questions about faith, the Bible, philosophical issues (such as how do we know Christianity is right, why does evil exist), and a few questions about creation and evolution. Most answers are less than a page in length.

http://www.godandscience.org/
A very comprehensive site loaded with answers about creation, evolution, and atheism. Also has links to articles on a variety of social issues. A great resource site!

http://www.leestrobel.com/
A great resource for all your questions about the Christian faith! Click the video channel tab a the top of the page to view small segments from various scholars and theologians!

http://www.leestrobel.com/CFCreator.htm
video segments on the previous site on creation vs evolution (many viewed recently in Mike’s 11-12 grade SS class)

http://www.josh.org
Josh McDowell is of my favorite authors. Reading one of his books brought me back to God (as well as many praying for me.) On the right section of the page, you can select a question and get a great answer to it.

http://www.ocfusa.org/resources/bible-studies.php
Bible Studies on a variety of topics developed by chaplains in the military. Check out the studies on Biblical Truths and Practical Christianity
