Knowing the Bible for All Its Worth

Douglas Stuart

Revelation 20:4

The Bible is a rich, vast wealth of knowledge, and we should strive to experience the life-changing power of God's Word. This presentation begins with recent scientific discovery about teeth remains at Carnage that stuns skepticism against an inerrant Bible. God's Word rises above skepticism. Beyond that, God's Word truly has life changing capabilities, laced with a power that is fueled by the Spirit. Through providing solutions to challenges in reading the Bible and recognizing incentives for becoming readers of the Word, we can begin knowing the Bible for its true worth.

Fallout from the Fall

Scott Risley

Romans 5:19

Adam and Eve had sons named Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, and with this Cain committed the first murder. God disciplined Cain for his act of murdering Abel. God also gave us notice that he was going to send His son to save humanity.

The Beginning (Part 3)

Scott Risley

Isaiah 45:18

Moses gives us a creation account relayed to him by God. God created the universe, Earth, and life forms of every kind. We hear 3 views of how to interpret Genesis 1 and God's creation in light of what we know about the formation of Earth.

The Beginning, Part 2

Scott Risley

Genesis 1:1-13

We look at God's narrative of creation, and compare it to the views of scholars today. The fine tuning of the universe, complexity of life, and lack of an explanation of the formation of the Universe are evidences for God's creative design.

The Gentile Kingdoms

Ryan Lowery

Daniel 7:2-8:22

Daniel 7 and 8 correlate with one another in order to display an impressive prophecy. Different gentile kingdoms, that Daniel compared to different beasts, are predicted hundreds of years before they come to power. These prophetic visions of Daniel are supported through various historical extra-biblical resources and accounts. The prophecies here give measurable evidence from history that might encourage readers to take a closer look at the areas of the Bible pertaining to faith and salvation that God offers.

The Beginning

Scott Risley

John 1:1-2

The whole story of the Bible starts with the creation of the universe. Through the account of how God creates the universe, we see that God is eternal, all-powerful, personal, decisive, and over and above the natural order.

A Disciple and Teacher

Gary DeLashmutt

John 8:12

Jesus address the area of influence authority figures have on those who follow them. He teaches that we have a choice in who influences us spiritually and we should choose those people carefully. If we choose to be a follower of Christ we should expect persecution and mistreatment by those who oppose Christ. He also applies this to the area of greatness and that true greatness is serving others the way Jesus has served you.

Following Jesus in a Pluralisitc World

Dennis McCallum

Acts 17:1-33

Paul continues on his second missionary journey; he is persecuted and driven out of Thessalonia, Berea, and arrives in Athens by himself. Here Paul has a more receptive audience and presents arguments to refute present day postmodern pluralism.

The Writing on the Wall

Ryan Lowery

Daniel 5:16-30

Daniel, now much older, again finds himself facing the ruling authority in Babylon to declare the truth of God. A once unknown historical figure, Belshazzar who was second in command, struggled with many lessons similar to Nebuchadnezzar, seen earlier in Daniel. Archaeological evidence found in 1854 confirms Belshazzar's rule. Previously, Daniel predicted Babylon's rule coming to an end at the hand of the Medes and Persians and now that defeat was underway. In the end, Belshazzar did not humble himself before God's Word but instead rejected evidence and denied God.\r\n
