Hour 1: Beyond Evolution
A flash point for much of the science vs. faith divide has been Darwinian evolution. Sharing the same mistaken belief that science contradicts the Bible, especially the Genesis account of creation, many scientists and many Christians have concluded that the worlds of science and religion are at odds. But according to biologist Sy Garte, PhD, evolution is irrelevant to the harmony of faith and science. And revolutionary new developments in biology are providing stronger evidence than ever before of a purposeful creator God. Join us as Dr. Garte shares the latest scientific research with a biblical worldview.
Hour 2: Witness
Each one of us came to saving faith in Jesus and was brought into God’s family because of faithful witnesses sharing the gospel message. And so, it’s our privilege as the church to keep on telling others this amazing news! Jonathan Dodson will give us practical, biblical wisdom on how to share the gospel in a compassionate and winsome way. Using many real-life examples, he will encourage us to live in a manner that draws people to the truth and beauty of Christ. And, to proclaim the gospel with a natural ease that speaks into the lives of the people we meet. Together with our church family, we can feel confident in reaching the community through effective Spirit-filled evangelism, underlined with confident, persistent prayer.
