Maybe you're concerned that you won't feel comfortable at church. One way to help you decide is listen to one of these sermons (a fancy word for a talk that helps understand a passage of the Bible). We're convinced that Jesus is the smartest person who ever lived, so what he has to say on life still makes sense today. More than that, what he has to say actually puts life into full vivid colour.
