Is the Bible just a historical document or is it the written Word of God? Is it still relevant or even reliable?
Here is an interesting video with some things to think about.
Read MoreUseful or Beautiful
/
Have you ever used a vending machine? You put in a little money and press B-8 and it's almost like magic you get a snack. I remember as a kid I loved vending machines because you could get what ever you wanted.

How is Jesus Different?
/Have you ever wondered or been asked, "How is Jesus and/or Christianity different than other religions?"
Here is a short video that describes the difference.
Since the beginning of time, people have searched for purpose and peace in life. Religion has often acted as mostly a spiritual pathway to attain these goals.
