Questions · Lincoln, NE

Honest questions about Jesus, asked in Lincoln.

No question is off the table here. Who is Jesus? He is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16), and what He offers is freedom, not religion (John 8:36). Below are straight answers to what people in Lincoln actually ask, with the verses so you can check us.

University classrooms, old church experiences, grief, and ordinary Nebraska life all produce real questions. We do not hide from them. We read Jesus and the apostles in context, distinguish Scripture from tradition, and keep the invitation free.

Why these questions sound different in Lincoln

The Near South, Belmont, University Place, West Lincoln, and the Haymarket do not share the same schedule or transportation. UNL brings students from many places, while winter weather can narrow a homebound adult's week to a few rooms. Public pools are seasonal and library rooms require approval. Build a gathering around the people who will actually attend, account for bus routes and snow, and let service become a relationship rather than a photo.

Lincoln carries the pace of a state capital and a university town, yet much of life still happens block by block. A student can be surrounded by people and lonely. A homebound neighbor in Belmont can need one reliable errand. A newly arrived family in the Near South may need a patient friend who explains one school form without taking over. Following Jesus begins close enough to notice.

Straight answers

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16), crucified and raised from the dead.

Is following Jesus only Bible study?

No. We learn His words so we can obey them, take up our cross daily, and love people as He loved us.
