“Is that true?” A simple and profound question that seems to pop up daily in everyone's mind in today’s climate. Truth to many is a relative term but Jesus constantly spoke in absolutes more than suggesting ideas that “could be true.” He in fact pointed to himself as truth. Similar to the story we read together, we have all asked ourselves and Jesus that difficult, deep question; what is truth? Jesus answers that question, but are we ready to hear it? Or will we be like Pilate and walk away before ever seeing and understanding how important the answer is for life today.

We’ve all been in that spot; stuck in a hard place, looking for direction, staring up at the sky asking “God, please give me a sign!” Like the Pharisees, many of us are desperate for that lightning bolt moment, because seeing a sign from God sure seems easier than simply believing in God. In this message Ps. Chris helps us see that Jesus was that very sign. When he says “I am the bread of life” it's not just a metaphor, but a sign that points to Him being the only sign you could ever need, and faith in Him is right where we need to be.

“How do I inherit eternal life?” A question that every person, whether a Christian or not, has asked and hoped to find the answer. As we walk through the question from the rich young ruler, Jesus challenges both him and us in today’s culture. The truth is that a great deal of us live with many thoughts on money, and little thoughts on heaven. However, the true path to heaven isn't more stuff or more “doing”, it all comes down to surrender and following Him.

As we wrap up our series, “Questions Jesus Asks”, we start a new series along the same lines looking at “Questions We Ask Jesus”. We all have questions we ask God; questions about life, relationships, pain and more. Pastor Andy walks us through a well known encounter the disciples have with Jesus where they ask Him a very familiar thought we have all had, “Jesus do you even care?” If you are walking through a storm or in a season of pain and frustration, let Jesus’ words comfort you and guide you through whatever you’re facing.
