Why Life Groups?

Life Groups provide an ideal, smaller context for pursuing spiritual growth with other believers who share a commitment to radical life change through an application-oriented study of God's word, accountability, and prayer. The life God has called us to, a life passionate for His supremacy, can't be done alone; we need one another to be using our God-given gifts to build each other up.

The Gospel of Judas


In our current sermon series, "The Holy Bible," Pastor John spoke Sunday about the "canon," that is the final collection of books that compose our Bible because they are "God-breathed" or "inspired" (2 Tim 3:16). John mentioned specifically a book that is not in our Bible, the Gospel of Judas.
Here is a link to an interview of a trustworthy scholar named Daniel Wallace, who, among other things is the Executive Director for The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. In this interview he answers some of the following questions concerning the so-called gospel:

What is the Gospel of Judas?

Why wasn’t it included in the canon?

Does the Gospel of Judas change our perspective on either Jesus or Judas or the shape of early Christianity?
