We will explore how this represents a just judgment for our sins, but also how God\u2019s love provides a path for forgiveness and eternal life with Him. Ultimately, God desires everyone to spend eternity with Him and does not want anyone to face the judgment of Hell.\n\n\xa0\nWhy Believe? \xa0\u2014 Answering Big Questions About God & the BibleHow Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?\n\nI.

As believers, it is imperative that we equip ourselves to provide thoughtful responses to these inquiries.\nJoin us this summer for a teaching series we are calling, "Why Believe?: Answering Big Questions About God & the Bible," as we embark on a journey to equip ourselves with Scriptural insights to help us give an answer for our faith. Each week will include engaging lectures, and opportunities to discuss the topics further in small groups! \xa0\nTogether, we will explore big questions like, \u201cDoes the Bible Promote Hate and Discrimination?\u201d, \u201cHas Science Disproved Christianity?\u201d, and \u201cHow Can A Loving God Send People to Hell?\u201d. By facing these questions head on, we will prepare ourselves to engage an increasingly skeptical culture with Scriptural, and well-reasoned answers!
