Stranger Than Fiction

Listen to "Stranger Than Fiction" by Greg Sidders, Sunday, 1-14-18

How do you turn a man, great as he may be, into a god?

You start with facts, but then you mix in some fiction. A miracle here, a claim to deity there. You Photoshop your hero until he becomes superhuman.

This is what many people believe Christians have done to Jesus.  We have mythologized him into a Messiah--the kind of God we want and need.

But do historical documents support that theory, or do they have a compelling ring of truth?

This Sunday at White Pine, we're examine Mark 7:24 - 8:30 to see if the Jesus of the Bible is a man-made myth or the God-sent Messiah.
