Da Vinci Code and The Bible

It was probably the 'dryest' sermon I've ever preached, but I've been quite encouraged by the response to last weekend's look at "Can We Trust the Bible?" as several CLCers have mentioned that they had no idea of the process by which we got the Scriptures and how reliable it really is. Probably most encouraging of all was the number of teens that I heard from who had honest doubts whether all of the Bible is true, but who found our discussion helpful to their understanding as they 'seek the truth'.

That's why this coming weekend's finale is so important - in fact, there's no more important question in life than - because the answer to that question holds the key to our future, forever! I hope you'll invite a friend to join us Saturday or Sunday as we examine the evidence for Jesus' deity.

Tom Hanks was recently quoted in Entertainment Weekly as saying the Da Vinci Code movie "may end up helping churches do their job", because many more people will respond to discuss it than would come to discuss the Bible. Let's prove him right on that count by bringing many friends, family and co-workers for the special simulcast on May 21 at 6 p.m. Full details are available at www.clctoday.org and we'll have invite cards for your use this weekend - hope to see you here!
