Light of the World (Season 3) | 15. Jesus Is
Home Much of the Bible is spent focusing on who Jesus is. It is the most important opinion we will ever have in our lives. The four writers of the gospel accounts tell us that the people of Jesus’ day pondered this question too. Some thought He was a prophet of God, others a blasphemer. Still others thought He was the Messiah. Join Neal Pollard and Hiram Kemp as they study the book of John and what it has to say about who Jesus is.
Light of the World (Season 3) | 14. What Does God Want from Me?
Home Many people have heard since childhood that they should live their life so that it is pleasing to God. But what does that mean?

Join Neal Pollard and Hiram Kemp as they discuss what it means to live a life that is pleasing to God.

Join Eric Lyons as he addresses these criticisms of Jesus Christ and the religion He established 2,000 years ago.
