• 35. Miracles: Why Do They Happen?
    Jan 9 2025

    Jesus initiated a period of time when miracles were especially common among God's people. He performed many miracles as a validation of his testimony about himself and to announce the coming of his kingdom. After him, the apostles also performed many miracles. But were miracles only for the early church? Were they restricted to Jesus and his apostles, or should we expect that God could perform a miracle for or through us today?

  • 34. Miracles: What Counts as a Miracle?
    Jan 2 2025

    Is there a consistent pattern to the miracles which are described in the Bible? Why does God perform miracles? Are they a demonstration of power, such as the plagues of the Exodus? Are they simply a way for God to tip the scales in favor of his people, such as the walls of Jericho miraculously crumbling to the ground? Or is there some other reason for the miracles we read about in the Bible?

    Join us as we try to work out what the Bible really says about miracles, and whether Christians today should ever expect to see miracles occur.

  • 33. Providence: God's Decisions Have a Purpose
    Dec 18 2024

    If God has decreed what should happen ahead of time, then do our choices really matter? While this also remains a mystery, the Bible clearly portrays our choices as being real and making a difference. Among the things which the Bible depicts as making a real difference in the world are prayer (God really responds to our prayers) and evangelism (people only know about Jesus because we choose to tell them). So even if you decide you're a Calvinist at heart, keep doing those things!

  • 32. Providence: Good for God—Evil for Us
    Dec 10 2024

    If God can use evil to accomplish good, then why are we condemned for committing evil? And if it is God who plans and directs everything, then are we still morally culpable for the evil deeds we commit?

  • 31. Providence: What Is God's Relationship to Evil?
    Dec 3 2024

    Does God allow evil, or does he simply allow free will, and his willing creatures commit evil when they sin? Many Christians over the years have understandably affirmed that this second view is correct and that there is a wide chasm between God and the evil deeds which his creatures commit. But is this the understanding of the relationship between God and evil presented in the Bible? Join is for another week on God's providence as we dig deep into this question.

  • 30. God's Providence: He's Got the Whole World in His Hands
    Nov 28 2024
    Why does the universe continue to exist instead of vanishing into nothingness? It might seem like "it just has to" keep existing, but there's certainly no scientific principle that says it must do so... we just take that fact for granted. According to the Bible, the heavens, with all their hosts, the and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them are preserved by God so that they continue to exist in a orderly way. Not only does this make scientific study possible, but it is the foundation for understanding that all things fall within God's control and work together to achieve God's purposes.

  • 29. Creation: Putting It All Together
    Nov 21 2024

    After all these weeks of looking at the science, the culture, and surrounding literature, we finally look at several options for how to understand the opening chapters of Genesis. I give a pitch for what I think makes the most sense given the relevant evidence.

  • Bonus 5. Transformed by Forgiveness
    Nov 12 2024

    At the heart of the Lord's Prayer there is a call to forgiveness. If you learn how to truly forgive, it can transform your relationships. This is not an easy thing to learn, but Jesus teaches that it is absolutely essential for everyone who follows him.

    I was honored to preach this sermon at the Kwajalein chapel on Nov. 10th, 2024.
