Truth in My Days: Let’s Defend Christianity!

In looking into apologetics, one would encounter often enough topics such as evolution or historical matters.  What is lesser known unfortunately and no less important is the topic of Textual Criticism.  As John lays out for us this series, we hope that, despite a technical sounding name, you will come to see its significance when it comes to defending the faith.  Why, it may shift...

Apart from the so-called scientific issues to Young Earth Creationism, one of the major sticking points naysayers, including many Old Testament scholars, like to bring up is a linguistic one—that is, the word translated as 'day' from the original language the book of Genesis was written in, i.e., Hebrew, does not really mean a 24-hour day.  Although many of us may not know Hebrew, let that no...

Were there any role models or heroes in your life when growing up?  While it seems obvious that having proper one to emulate, some seem to also forget that the company they keep also shapes much of their lives.  Today's sermon serves as a good reminder for us to reflect and re-examine ourselves not just where we may be in our walk with God but also the influences we have around us! Follo...

Continuing from the previous series, another related term often heard is 'Natural Law'.  Whereas the last topic dealt with whether one can know God, this one deals specifically with the issue of morality.  From the last series, we have learned that God's existence is revealed to all, regardless if they have directly come into Christianity before, but what does that say about our values?...

What happens to people who have never encountered Christianity before?  Would they even know there is a God?  You may have heard terms like 'Natural Theology' or 'Natural Revelation' floated about as answers for these, but are these correct?  What do these terms even mean?  Come join us this series to explore the matter, especially when most of us have encountered people not pr...

Luke 13:6–9 records the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree for us, and in a scant four verses is there contained a sober warning for all of us.  While you may have read it in passing (perhaps many times, even), have you ever pondered over just what it means for you?  Does it even apply to you at all?  Whether you're already familiar with this parable or have no recollection at all of it...

You have likely heard phrases like 'This probably didn't happen' or 'Odds are that this was true'.  Why, it's in the first sentence of this very blurb!  Probabilities are used by both skeptics and apologists.  Do these phrases carry any weight though?  How does one actually judge these statements if one even can?  This series will explore just how far these claims go and w...

As Christians, we are often told to read the Bible.  We know this of course, but a question that often pops up isn't so much 'When?' but 'How?'  After all, while some of us are surely well-meaning, we may not actually have any idea how to go about what seems so simple.  Of course, there are ways to how NOT to read the Bible too.  John takes us through this very topic this week,...
