In this message, Pastor Jeff walks us through the most controversial claim of Christianity: that people without Jesus can have no real knowledge of God.

Even though the message recording got cut off, the power of this topic is life transforming. The last 5 minutes are especially necessary for anyone who has ever made a mistake in life.

In part two of the Inflate series Pastor Jeff gives us the reasons why Jesus is the one and only, final authoritative Word from God. No other authority can be higher than him in our lives and everything we know in the Bible needs to be seen through the lens of Jesus—his words and his example.

Ben Smith was in a skiing accident on 2/13/10. He has suffered many skull fractures with swelling and bleeding. They took him off sedation and his breathing tube on 2/16/10. This is a great sign!!!

He still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. If you wish to make a donation for the Smith family you may do so at the Regions bank south on 350 in Lafayette (765-476-8022); ask for Colett.
