What would keep you from coming to Jesus? How do you picture Jesus relating to your sin?
Can we be honest about how tempting it is to follow the world? Is it worth it to follow God? How was Christ tempted like us? How does worship transform my life?
Where do I run to for continuous comfort and permanent pleasure? What do I rely on or comfort myself with when things go bad or get difficult?
The following audio is a recording for the Adult Sunday School class at Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church. What does a 17th Century man have to tell us 21st Century people about the Christian life? Isn't he outdated? Thomas Goodwin was a Puritan pastor, preacher, and professor. He had a phenomenal influence on the people in his time and throughout the 350 years since. His most known work The Heart of Christ is arguably one of the most Christ-centered works from a very Christ-Centered movement. What do Goodwin and his writings tell us about the Christian life?
Tulane, Troy, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Boston Brawlers, and then ministry. Take a listen to see how all this comes together!
What is Jesus doing in heaven right now? How does this change the way we live?
What is a life of excellency and worth? How does Jesus show us this kind of life?

Do you struggle with seeing only your sin? How does Jesus respond to really sinful people? What is forgiveness?
What matters most is how you respond to Jesus’ love.
What should we do when people tell us to “love yourself”? Is that true? What’s a better way forward?
