Christianity is the only faith that allows your relationship with the Creator to be more than a student, a servant or a follower. By way of adoption, God can become your Father. In love, he chose you.

If you don't stop and ask yourself where you are going in life, how will you know if you have reached the destination? What are you striving for at the end of the journey? Will you finish the race well? Charlie speaks to this in Sunday's sermon.

In a time where life depended on being tied to a man, the young widow Ruth committed herself to an old woman, her mother-in-law, Naomi.

Explore the three ways that the first witnesses saw Jesus' empty tomb on Easter Sunday and how they parallel our modern day view of faith. Hopelessness and doubt was and is transformed into joy and belief on the greatest day in history.

Before we get to the ultimate joy on the day of Resurrection, we have to go through the fear of failure and doubt experienced in the darkest days before it. God is big enough to walk the journey with each of us.
