What Is The Most Important Thing I Need To Know?
April 21, 2019 - 09:37 PM
We live in a world flooded with information. Our inbox and mailbox are filled with junk mail. We pay for 200 channels of television but most programs are filled with commercials we don't want to see. With the click of a few keys, the Internet tells us anything we need to know, plus many things we don't want to know. Our phones are buzzed and our social media accounts are constantly updating. Wouldn't it be great if we could take a break from the noise of this information? Wouldn't it be great if we could just focus on the things we need to know? In this message, we will look at the one thing the Bible tells us everyone needs to know, the truth about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

NT Wright—a prominent Anglican theologian, talks about his friend, Marcus Borg. NT believes Marcus is a Christian even though he doesn't believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus.
