If you have a hard time believing in God, in Jesus, in the Bible, this series is for you. We want you to know that you’re welcome in our church. And we want you to know there's reason to explore God with hope.

In this series we'll evaluate 5 beliefs commonly held by those who maintain a skeptical posture toward Christianity. We'll put them on the table, test them, see where they hold up and where they fall short.

In the end, the goal of this series is not to “prove God” to anyone, but instead, to encourage us to doubt our doubts.

In this message, we explore a belief commonly held by skeptics: “You don’t need God to have a full life of meaning, hope, and satisfaction.”

What's going on with all the magical stuff in the Bible--Daniel in the lion's den, Noah and the flood, a talking donkey, fire from Heaven, Jesus healing people? Are we supposed to believe that stuff actually happened? Or can we dispense with the magic and welcome the wise teaching?

Who are you…really?

How do you figure out the answer to that? Is your "self" just the sum of your deepest wishes and desires? Or are you more than that? In this message, we'll explore competing approaches to the question of Identity.
