Faith Is Not Wishful Thinking

James Rochford

1 Peter 3:15

Atheistic scientists in the world cannot explain the origin of the universe, nor the fine-tuning we see in the universe or the reality of objective morality or free will. Only the Bible gives a satisfying and reasonable explanation for the complexity we see all around us.

Giving an Account

Dennis McCallum

1 Peter 3:15

Christians are called to be able to give a reasonable account for the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Because of the incredible complexity of reproducing life on earth, we have a powerful evidence of a designer of life. Even world-renowned biological scientists who were atheists became convinced of a divine creator after studying how some of the building blocks of life can only come into existence from already living biological systems. Only living cells can program and produce many of the proteins, carbohydrates, and enzymes necessary for life. This begs the question then where did the first fully functional, reproducing cell come from but a Creator?

The One Thing

Mike Sullivan

Psalms 27

From where did David's courage come? It came from being near to God. The one thing he was passionate about was to be near to God all the days of his life. Because David saw God in nature, in the things He had made, and in his Word, he was able to draw courage even in times of great difficulty and ongoing crisis. Because David could see the goodness of God in the land of the living, he could pour out his heart to God and recount what he knew of God and be at peace as he waited on the Lord.

God Speaks

Mike Sullivan

Psalms 19

Psalm 19 describes how all of creation declares the glory of God. He has revealed Himself through general revelation in the world he has created, not just earth but all of creation and the heavens above. He has also shown Himself through the words He has spoken, the Bible. In His Word there is both warning and great reward.

Christ Our Savior

Jim Leffel

Colossians 1:12-22

This passage summarizes in a nutshell the entire story of the Bible. It encapsulates who Christ is and what he has done as King, Creator and Redeemer. As King, he has enabled fallen man to be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son. As Redeemer, he has reconciled us by paying the debt we could never pay. As Creator, he is the source of regeneration from death into life, a new life.

The Fear of the Lord

Gary DeLashmutt

Psalms 33-34

Most Christians know the fear of the Lord is not being afraid of God, but few know what it is. The fear of the Lord is to stand in awe of God's greatness and express your awe by praising Him. It is waiting on and hoping in God's lovingkindness. It is following and obeying His moral instructions. In other words, fear of the Lord is to be humble before God.

The Beginning of Our World

Gary DeLashmutt

Genesis 2:1-4

This famous passage on the beginning of our world is distinguished from other creation literature and shown superior. It is also harmonized with what science has discovered about the origin of the universe and life on earth. Genesis is history rather than myth and presents key theological truths to help us make sense of our lives. Will we respond to God speaking to us through His Word?

Marks of the Creator Found in Creation (Pt. 2)

Conrad Hilario

Romans 1:18-20

In Romans 1, Paul tells us that God has made Himself known through his creation, but that people suppress the truth in unrighteousness. The origin of the universe is one part of creation that points to an intelligent being as its cause. We are challenged to examine the evidence and turn to the living God, who has made Himself known more fully through Jesus Christ.
