In the Beginning God!
If we get the beginning right, we begin to see everything else clear. If we get the beginning wrong, there is nothing but darkness everywhere else.

When Jesus Speaks
God has spoken most completely in His Son. Jesus' work for us includes His speaking as the eternal Son via the prophets, earthly Son during his ministry, and exalted Son thru the apostles to provide Scripture (inspiration). He now works in those who believe thru illumination that we might understand and apply Scripture. He also works thru us in evangelization & discipleship to help others understand and apply Scripture. Do you listen?

One Can of Caring
A caring heart, evidenced by caring actions is like a knock on the door of the heart of the unbeliever. If they don't open the door, at least they will peak through the curtains to see who is knocking. That is why "One Can of Caring" is an essential ingredient in a church.

What Kind of Reality is the Real One?
Now we start to look at the different elements of metaphysics: being, essence, cause, necessity, contingency, form, matter, actuality, and potentiality. We look at the five kinds of causes—efficient, formal, material, instrumental, and end—and briefly define the five different arguments for the existence of God within natural theology. Finally, we offer our own argument that we call “The Blue Marble†proof.

What is the Biggest Thing?
Week 3 introduces the discipline of metaphysics, which studies being and essence. In other words, it asks the question: What exists? and What kind of a thing exists? In the first of two weeks, we examine the basic metaphysic of biblical theism and compare it to competing worldviews such as Atheism, Deism, Dualism, Pantheism, and Polytheism.

Jesus, Our Savior
The purpose of Jesus coming into our world is simple, reconciliation. During this season, we have no problem singing sons about Jesus and even claiming He's our Savior, He's our peace. But we usually don't go beyond humming the tune to ask what it is that we're actually singing. Do we know what we're singing when we sing that Christ is our Savior? Savior from what? Or that He is our peace? Peace from what conflict?

Evil & Suffering
The problem of evil has been a topic which has commanded the attention people throughout history. Everyone from scholars to tent-makers eventually is faced with asking how can God exist, let alone be good, when evil and suffering exist as well.

Do All Roads Lead to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14 says"...broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." One of the most common misconceptions about the world religions is that at the core of their beliefs, they are all the same. The analogy of a mountain with many roads that lead to the top, or the picture of an elephant surrounded by blind men trying to describe what they are touching, is used to explain that religion is really "ONE" but that the roads or paths to getting there are simply different. On a simplistic level, one might affirm the common spiritual desire that points people toward a spiritual reality. The pursuit of the transcendent is common in all cultures – anthropologists call it the "god-consciousness". But upon closer evaluation, one quickly sees that each religion has exclusive claims that set it apart from the other. In the midst of our pluralistic culture, one must ask: so which road does indeed lead to life? Key Passage: 1 Kings 18:16-39
