This is the Life: Follow the Maker's Directions
10/25/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Psalms 138:8
Usually when you buy something new there are directions for how to use it. The manufacturer will tell you how it works and gives cautions on what not to do to it. When you follow the makers directions the product performs as it was designed to. What about your life? How do you know what direction to go in your life? Follow the Maker’s directions. God has revealed to us what He wants to do in our lives and how He will direct us as we follow Him. You can experience the abundant life Jesus talked about as you follow the One who created you and redeemed you.

You do this as you connect with other Christians through the local church.

Developing A Healthy Faith: Do Good People Really Go to Heaven?
10/11/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, John 14:6; John 3:16-17
Do good people really go to heaven. If so, then how good is good enough? How do you know when you have met the threshold of “good”? When do you reach the point of having enough good deeds that you qualify for eternal life and spending eternity in heaven with a Holy, Righteous God? Yes, God loves every one of us. The answer to this dilemma is found in what Jesus Christ has done for us on the cross. Tragically, according to a George Barna survey, only 47% of “born again” Christians believe that you cannot earn your way into heaven by being a good person. 53% of Christians really believe good people are somehow going to get into heaven. This message asks and seeks to find an answer to the question of who really can get into heaven and live with God.
