We use Paul's Paul’s address to the Athenians (Acts 17) as a template to explain the biblical worldview. This is where we must begin when seeking to preach the gospel to people with no spiritual background ... a growing number even in so-called Christian nations. Thus we outline the following key elements: God as Creator (ex nihilo), God’s providence, sovereignty, and immanence, human sin, man's accountability to God, and the centrality of Christ to the Bible's message. 

This episode examines 1) whether Adam and Eve were historical individuals and 2) is the biblical account of the Fall true. It is somewhat technical, but before anyone dismisses this talk as having little spiritual content, let me point out that it addresses the largest spiriitual issue possible, namely the historicity of the Bible. So even if you consider yourself a technophobe, please try to stay with me as I survey (in a reader friendly way) scientific arguments from population genetics, the "10,000 ancestors" claim of evolution, and other arguments against the Bible's assertion that mankind began with a single specially created couple.

Esther chapter 7 demonstrates in a striking way how God’s sovereignty works to fulfil His purposes both through His servants and independently through providential events. Here we see a fast-moving drama in which these two features of God's sovereignty operate simultaneously to crush Haman; Esther bravely denounces him and the Lord Himself directs the King's reactions and their precise timing in such a way that Haman cannot escape condemnation and execution. The chapter offers us the assurance that God’s purposes prevail..  You cannot fight God and win!

Paul often had to defend his apostleship but only in 1 Corinthians 9 does he do so in a way that sets explicit timeless standards for churches and believers today. In particular he emphsises the importance of respect for authority, the need for a personal knowledge of Christ, the humility of genuine servants of God, the right of ministers to material support, and the fruitfulness of the gospel of God's grace.

This penetrating message explores John 1:1–18, answering the question, “Where did Jesus come from?” using five key points: Jesus as the eternal Word/Logos and Creator, the light, life and love he brings, the testimony of witnesses, the incarnation, and Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God’s nature, grace and truth. The sermon links John’s prologue with Genesis 1, highlights the Trinitarian nature of creation, and explains how Jesus’ incarnation reveals God’s heart toward humanity and salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ.
