Video Q&A: Faith and the Historical Jesus
Greg is trying something new in order to answer more of your questions. He’s going to be taping himself addressing your questions with no polish of any kind: raw and unedited. You’ll notice in this first one that he’s pretty low in the frame of the camera, and we’ll be tweaking this as we go, but that’s all part of the charm. (He also spent a lot of time pondering the perfect wardrobe for this new venture, as you’ll see.)
So without further ado, here’s Greg answering a reader question about how it is that we can bank our faith on the testimony of his disciples. Enjoy!

Everybody’s Got A Hungry Heart [Sermon, 7/1/12]
Check out Greg’s latest sermon!
Description from WHC website:
Paul wrote the Colossians to confront a false religion of invoking angels. These invocations were being done because people thought Jesus wasn’t enough. This same type of thought pervades our own society, where people with hungry hearts are searching for more than what Jesus offers. In this sermon, Greg talks about the fullness that Jesus brings.
