Christianity and World Religions

We live in an area in which we are surrounded by people who practice many other religions: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. How does our faith compare with each of these other religions? What do they have in common? What are the differences? How do we speak to someone who practices one of these in an appropriate and respectful way? We hope this series will help find answers to these practical and important questions.

Confidence in the Chaos

Some recent surveys revealed some disturbing statistics about where we are as a people right now: 80% of us are “stressed out” about the economy; 46 out of 100 wives “get irate” with their husbands once a week; three quarters of white collar workers feel overwhelmed by the amount of information with which they must deal.

We are living in times that could be enough to overwhelm any of us. We remember the words of Jesus as he came offering the gift of peace that the world cannot give. We also believe that this peace Jesus offers is one that the world cannot take away. We recall the story of Jesus standing in the midst of raging waters and by the power of His word speaking peace over them.

This sermon series is designed to help us in the midst of the worst storms of our lives, move ahead with the peace and confidence that can only come from Christ.
