Everybody worships. No one taught us how to worship. We just know how to worship. We’re passionate about something. That’s worship. God wants us to understand the depth of worship. True worship is not just what happens in here, it’s what happens out there.

Many grew up with the idea that worship was an event. It consisted of singing a few songs, taking an offering, listening to a message and going home. But it has to be more than that. Perhaps our definition of worship is out of whack. When we learn what it really is, there is so much we can benefit from it.

The direction of our lives is determined by the way we answer some very important and heavy questions. The book of John provides us with a beautiful backdrop to consider the answers and implications to those questions.

Surprisingly, Jesus said very little about heaven. He spoke more about eternal life and how one can enter heaven than He did about the place of heaven. Although the details are incomplete, it is probably because a full understanding of heaven would make it difficult to concentrate on the responsibilities God has given us on earth. Yet the Bible reveals some realities about heaven to whet our appetites for this future destination.

What happens after I die? Who has not asked that question? But there are all kinds of crazy answers to the question. In this message we will explore what the Bible says happens after we die. What we learn about eternity should give us a better perspective on how to live today.

How do you remain hopeful in a hopelessly broken world? Every one of us will wrestle at some level with this dilemma. If you have ever had something you placed your hope in come crashing down around you, you know: marriage, career, wealth, health, engagement, academic, athletics – you name it. We must learn the only way to maintain hope in a broken world is to place our hope in God.

The Bible is not filled with feel-good messages for a world we don’t live in. We find God speaking directly into uncertain times. We see his hand in the midst of uncertainty. That’s where He does some of His best work.
