Westside Family Church Hold The Line: Three Battles Every Man Must Win Pastor: Jonathan Hansen N otes:  Faith should NOT be domesticated.  The bears at the zoo verses Kings Cave, bear can, 20-30 yards away.  See the stars where there is no light pollution. Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men (be courageous), be strong. Let all you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV) But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith.

How do I make sense of pain and suffering? 5. What's the purpose of my life? These questions are so important because if we understand the BEGINNING of the story (where we came from) and the END of the story (where we are going)...

  Pastor Mark Clark Does God Really Exist? Examining the Evidence for Faith In a world filled with skepticism about faith and Christianity, many people wonder whether belief in God is rational or simply wishful thinking. Growing up in a household that was adamantly opposed to Christianity, this question became deeply personal. The journey from skepticism to faith wasn't based on blind belief, but on examining evidence that pointed toward the existence of God. Key Verses Romans 2:14-15 Genesis 1:1 Everyone Has a Faith Position Whether you realize it or not, everyone who walks through life has a faith position about what happens after death. Even those who claim to be purely rational and evidence-based hold beliefs about metaphysical realities they cannot prove. Consider this scenario: When someone dies after suffering, we often say "at least they're not suffering anymore." But how do we know that? If you believe that death simply means non-existence, that's actuall...
