Part 4: I Give You My Word by Pastor Ray Jones on 10.30.2011
-2 Timothy 3:16-17
Many people today believe that the Bible is simply a religious book like other religious books, full of inspirational stories, but not necessarily accurate historically, scientifically, etc. Further while many believe it to be a good book, they do not necessarily believe it to be relevant for modern living. In this week’s message on Lies That Deform and Truths That Transform, Pastor Ray’s message will focus on the reliability and importance of God’s Word for our lives.

Part 5: Is There A Family In The House? by Pastor Ray Jones on 11.06.2011
- Genesis 2:21-25
The rapidly changing society has brought with it new definitions for family and it’s values. A Family Research Council study revealed that 72% of American’s surveyed said that the changes in family life over the past several decades “have been generally worse” for the family not better. Unfortunately many have believed the cultural lie that “The traditional family is a thing of the past.” In this week’s sermon, Pastor Ray will talk about the truth as it relates to the place and health of the home and family.

The late Dr. Neil Postman of NY University wrote that George Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us, while Aldus Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us!

In this week’s message Pastor Ray will continue the series Lies That Deform Us and Truths That Transform Us by discussing the lie that Entertainment is Harmless.

Part 7: Are You Sure You’re Sure? by Pastor Ray Jones on 11.27.2011
-1 John 5:6-13
We live in a world of constant uncertainty. In fact it has been said that the only thing that you can be certain of is that nothing is certain. That may be acceptable in the physical world in which we live, but it is not acceptable in the spiritual world regarding our eternity. In fact it is downright destruction and dangerous. As pastor Ray continues his series, “Lies That Deform and Truths That Transform”, this week he will discuss what does the Bible really say about being certain of our eternal destination... It’s a life or death issue.
