Experience the Land and the Book

We tend to think that the people in the Bible were larger-than-life figures who demonstrated boundless faith despite their circumstances. But they were bound to a time and a place in history with flesh-and-blood challenges.

Each of Chuck’s six messages was recorded in the very places trod or sailed by kings David and Saul, the disciples, the apostle Paul, and our Savior, Jesus. Each message and context connects us to timeless principles that undergird and strengthen our faith for our time.

What If . . . ?

What if . . . ? What a haunting, yet profound question. We’ve all found ourselves in situations where we have felt helpless to determine our next step if the unknown were to happen. Either due to lack of knowledge or lack of ability, we wonder what we should do.

And yet, that very act of wondering, of asking questions like, “What If You Suddenly Lose Everything?” or “What If You Need a Second Chance?” stands as a perfect opportunity to gain biblical wisdom about difficult subjects.

As you make your way through this series about the difficult questions and decisions we face, remember that it’s in wrestling with the questions that we come closest to the Lord.
