Your Struggle with Religion, Part 1
The first commandment says, “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.” If this was just about swearing, it might make us wonder why God would include it in the Ten Commandments. Pastor Colin talks about what it means and why it’s so important.

If you’re saying to yourself: “The second commandment is a breeze for me—I don’t own any totem poles”—remember, idolatry isn’t limited to worshiping statues. Pastor Colin talks about the many different disguises idolatry can wear.

How does God reach out to us? If He wanted to, He could reach out to us in power like a dictator. After all, God has more power at His disposal than a million nuclear bombs. But He chooses not to do that. God reaches out to us in love. Pastor Colin talks about what difference that makes.

It is natural for us to live with the sneaking suspicion that our bodies in the resurrection will somehow be less than they are now. Nothing could be further from the truth. Pastor Colin explains why, using the Apostle Paul’s four-fold description of the resurrection body.
Hope for Tomorrow, Part 1
Some skeptics in the early church were asking: How are the dead raised? And what kind of body will they have? Pastor Colin explores the Apostle Paul’s answers to these questions.
