     | 460 views

    This is the first in a series of messages on apologetics. This segment deals with how, as scientific discoveries continue, evidence for God's existence has grown stronger, not weaker. Science, done right, points to God.

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 7, 2025
     | 968 views

    When we hear the Bible's internal claims, see its historical accuracy, fulfilled prophesies, manuscript evidence, transformational power, survival & influence, & scientific knowledge, it confirms that it's the Word of God.

    The Night Before Christmas

    Contributed by Michael Luke on May 29, 2016
     | 11,348 views

    Jesus’ birth is not just supernatural, it’s educational. Along with educational, it’s also transformational. What Jesus thought before he was born influenced the way he lived.

    I’m sure most of us are familiar with the famous poem by Clement Clark Moore that begins this way: ’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with ...read more
