    Is There A Conflict Between Faith And Science? Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 28, 2002
    based on 141 ratings
     | 11,958 views

    Those seeking truth should consider: 1. Christian faith birthed science. 2. Miracles are not things done against natural law, but according to natural law. 3. To close the door to the possibility of the existence of God goes against the very fabric

How do we use objective critical reasoning and still believe in things like the parting of the Red Sea, a virgin giving birth to a child, shriveled ...read more

    This message looks at five things that cause people to become disillusioned with God. Part 3 of a series inspired by Philip Yancey’s book "Disappointment with God."

    Is God real? Does He care? Is He even there? Is He there for me? All questions sincere people ask all the time. Why? Because they’ve experienced heartache. They’ve been disappointed. They’ve been disillusioned. What do I mean when I say disillusioned? I’m talking about you having certain negative ...read more

    If we do not understand what God does for us every day, then we will not receive what He wants to do when we really need Him. Sometimes He must withdraw from us because our abundance blinds us. (Communion message)

    If we do not understand what God does, every day, then we will not receive what He wants to do when we really need Him. If with both minds and hearts we do not grasp that it is God who provides for us, day after day, even when we don’t think we need Him, then our minds will be closed and our ...read more

     | 5,962 views

    If we believe in the value of our world that bigger is better, our actions and decisions will be controlled by people rather than by God.

    At The Festival Oct 23, 2011 John 7:1-24 Intro: Our journey the last little while through the Gospel of John has had, at its core, a desire to discover the Biblical Jesus.

    If we have our minds centred in Christ, focussed on the things that please God, then we won't need a rule book. If God's word dwells in us the way our lives are hidden with Christ then we'll do things that please God automatically.

    Paul has just finished telling the Colossians to stay away from those who want to tie them down to human rules and regulations. He says these rules are of no use to you in controlling your human desires. He says “Why would you want to subject yourself to human regulations when Christ has died ...read more

    INTRO: God has a unique plan for every single child of God. He passionately desires for us to know His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

    Shine Phil 2:14-18 Jan 23, 2011 Intro: To begin this morning I want you to imagine, or remember, a world without electric light.

    Freedom is a pathway, not an end point.

    What is freedom? For Kelly, it meant graduating from high school and getting out from under her parents thumb.

    The benefit and necessity of being a part of the life of the church.

    I believe in the communion of the saints. The words sound strange, and you may ask, “Who are the saints?” Are they the ones we see in some churches that are made of plaster standing on little shelves around the walls? Are they the ones whose image people wear around their neck or ...read more
