It is said that if you put a frog in kettle of lukewarm water and then raise the temperature slowly, the frog will stay in the kettle until he boils to death. This is a good summary of the story of Solomon.

We look at Solomon’s story from chapter 13 of the Story or 1 Kings 1-11.

Everything was going "up and to the right" for David as king. Then, one day, he sees Bathsheba bathing. He soon begins an affair. Then, to cover up his sin, David compounds his sin by having Uriah, Bathsheba's husband killed. In this message, we trace the themes of temptation, sin, forgiveness, and consequences.

In this message we look at or 1 Samuel 16-18 or Chapter 11 from THE STORY. When the story opens, God is looking for a new king to replace Saul. As God looks at every possible person in Israel, God chooses a boy out on a hillside tending sheep.

As the story develops, God could see David’s possibilities, but others could not. So what did God see?

Josh McDowell once wrote that, as we look at Jesus, there are only 3 possibilities. Since he claimed to be the Son of God, he is either lying, out of touch with reality, or his claim is true. Liar, Lunatic, or Lord.

Surveys indicate that nearly 9 out of 10 people believe that Jesus is in fact who he said he was. It makes you wonder why we have any crime in our streets, doesn’t it?

This message looks at a 4th possibility. Many people have answered the Lord, Liar, Lunatic question by saying: Legend! They don’t question the truth of the story, only it’s relevance to their lives.

In this message, we look at why the story of Jesus, from 1,984 Easters ago matters to us today.

As we look at the events leading to the cross, sometimes the question isn't as much: Is it true? As it is: Does it matter? Does God really care? In this message, we look at how God has demonstrated his care for you and me.
