Tom Holladay | Kay Warren | Lumivoz
If there’s on topic that has captured our collective imagination, it’s the question of what (if anything) happens to us after we die?

Even among followers of Jesus, there are different ways of thinking about and articulating what happens in the afterlife. Over these four sessions, Pastor Tom Holladay and Kay ...

In Deuteronomy 4:29-31, Moses urges obedience. I wonder, where has the passion, conviction, desire, and urgency gone in the body of Christ? Have we forgotten the simplicity of seeking the Holy Spirit and God's presence? Has our religiosity distracted us from seeking Jesus? Or have we surrendered? Scripture reminds us: draw near to God (James 4:8), …
