The Final Showdown
Have you ever watched a TV show where almost every single episode ended in a cliffhanger, and left you wondering if the main character would be able to get out of a particularly tight spot or would survive another week? The tension can be enormous. That is, unless, you already know how the whole TV series ends. You would then be able to rest more easily, knowing that each episode is not the end of the story.
One of the most helpful aspects of the Bible is that it enables us to fast-forward to the future, leaving no doubt as to how the cosmic battle between God and the forces of evil - that has been playing out since eternity past - will ultimately conclude. And because we already know the end of the story - namely, that God has already won the battle - those who put their trust in Jesus can rest more easily and live with hope.

This Week's Sermon: "Responding to Your Questions"
Everyone has questions, and this Sunday Pastors Dave, Steve, and Dan will be responding to ours. Sometimes the best learnings come from biblical answers to relevant questions. Much of Jesus' teaching was in response to people's questions. Questions like: What must I do to inherit eternal life? Who is my neighbor? Are you the King of the Jews? What will be the sign of your coming? After our summer-long Future Hope message series, you may already have a good answer to that last question. But if not, hopefully you will after this Sunday's special Q & A message.
