Today, we will dive deep into the issue of climate change and discover whether the current hysteria is built on sound, objective science or if there is a more sinister agenda at play. What happens when bad theology gets applied to sloppy science? You will hear the answers to these questions and more as you think biblically and critically on this topic with Dr. Cal Beisner and Dr. David Legates.
We are living in a me-focused, treat-yourself world—a world that oppressively encourages us to focus on ourselves. When we fail to know God properly, we become selfish and hopeless. But a renewed understanding of who God is changes that. With pastoral warmth and heart, Jonathan Griffiths will show us the character of God in all His beauty and goodness. Join us to discover the real meaning of God’s character - omnipotent, unchanging, and omnipresent.
