Message: Questions from God - Where is Your Brother? - The story of Cain and Abel is a classic from our scriptures and has inspired literature and movies; for example, East of Eden, a Steinbeck novel made into a movie. This question from God led to a question from Cain, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Certainly, the answer to this question is a resounding, "yes!" We are to bear responsibilities to our families and neighbors, and that responsibility needs to be…

Message: Questions from God - Who Do You Say I Am? - Defining moments. It happens from time to time in most relationships and sometimes it's a little nebulous and at other times it's very clear. "Wait a minute, you think you're my boyfriend?" vs. "I now present Mr. and Mrs. Jeff and Marie Wilson."
