2. The God of the Bible Exists

Is there a God? That is a question that must be answered!  But it cannot be answered based upon personal opinions or feelings on the matter, for that is completely subjective (and thus, in the end, unreliable).  Obviously, not everyone believes in God.  But what does the evidence show?  Would it surprise you to know that the evidence for the existence of…

Day 01: Foundational Questions Must Be Answered

Life.  It is the one thing (no matter who we are) that we all have in common.  But, have you ever stopped to think about it?  At some point in our existence on this earth, the thought will likely cross each person’s mind—What is life all about?

Although Paul had been arrested, beaten, imprisoned and now could have his life taken for preaching about Jesus and his kingdom, what did he continue to preach while in prison? 3. Why…
