Explorers 4 - Counterfeit Gods

A reading group for skeptics, doubters, and people with questions
to consider how the biblical Jesus speaks to our cultural idolatries.


Now more than ever, we need perspective. Many of us have placed our faith in success, money, true love, and the life we've always wanted. Yet the recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful.

Why are we so attracted to money, sex, and power? What are the hopes and fears that captivate your heart? Why is it so hard to change? How does Jesus claim to offer us hope?

Join us as we read and discuss Tim Keller's Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power and the Only Hope That Matters.

It's an explorers group for thoughtful people to take a fresh look at how the Christian faith speaks to real life. It's a group for unbelievers, and for the unbeliever in all of us. Candid, honest, refreshing. You'll learn more about the Bible and Jesus. Any question is fair game.
