Things of Faith with Pastor Scott Hawkins

Maps are a wonderful thing. They often provide context to a physical area. So much so, we can frequently glean the importance of a location simply by what points to it. History also lends itself to this phenomena. History is undoubtedly colored by those that are telling or exploring it, but imagine removing all of the man-made elements and touch points. What would we be left with? When we peel back the layers of the world, mankind finds itself at a central point. Jerusalem. How you view the documented events of early A.D. Jerusalem will develop and inspire your faith journey.

In this episode of Things of Faith, Pastors Scott Hawkins and Michael Stoops discuss God the Son and His role as the Savior.
Here a some of the topics the Pastors take on.

• What makes Jesus different?
• Why do we need to be saved?
• Who needs to be saved?
• Are we looking for a Savior?
• Is there something inside each of us that longs to be complete?

The fallen nature of man is that we cannot save ourselves. No matter how hard we try, we cannot fill what is longing in our hearts.

Justification and Sanctification are terms many Christians say they know. But, in our day to day lives we often forget one or the other. While these astonishing gifts of God are separate, they are vastly intertwined. Come along as Pastors Scott Hawkins and Michael Stoops discuss being saved by faith and growing more Christ like.

Pastors Scott Hawkins and Michael Stoops offer some foundational elements on what it means to be a Christian and part of the Church.
--What does it mean to be a part of the body of Christ?
--What is the Church?
--Why is it important to gather with fellow believers?
A answer to the first question is as a believer we have more in common with an Ethiopian Christian than we do an atheist from a local zip code.

As you drive on this COVID Ash Wednesday, listen to these reflections and music to remind you of our desperate need of Christ.
