Jesus commands that we love our neighbors as ourselves. But he also told his disciples, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." Pastor Mike addresses this seeming contradiction.

But when we look at the archaeological evidence from the ancient Holy Lands, we find that their world confirms the truths of the Bible...it continually proves the Bible to be true.
