    Dealing with Doubts - Why I Believe in Creation, Part 2 May 07, 2025
    Show notes

    Creation versus evolution: the never-ending debate, right? So many want us to believe that science and faith are incompatible. But what if they’re not? What if science actually supports faith and what if faith actually informs science? Chip provides helpful insight to the current debate, in a time when the disagreements are more intense than ever.

    Main Points Defining our terms:
    • Microevolution: The small changes that only happen within a species. Some examples of microevolution are the mosquito’s ability to resist DDT after years of exposure, and the ability of different bacterial strains to resist penicillin.
    • Macroevolution: The vertical transition between species (from one kind of species to another kind) evolving to account for all animal and human life.
    • Creation: The belief that God created all things out of nothing, as described in the Bible in the book of Genesis. All of life in its rich complexity happened as the result of the all-powerful, all-knowing, sovereign God of the universe who is Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
    Today's four major positions:
    • Group 1: Classic Creationism - The literal biblical account
    • Group 2: Classic Evolution - Random change and natural selection
    • Group 3: Theistic Evolution - God-supervised evolution
    • Group 4: Intelligent Design - A designer of some kind
    How did life begin?
    • Evolution: Life’s beginning was unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, a natural process. The beginning of life was random, undirected without either plan or purpose.
    • Creation: Defined by the Bible. God spoke.
    Why did life begin?
    • Evolution: Life began as a pure accident. It was random chance. There was no design, no plan, no meaning, no emotions, no purpose, and no value.
    • Creation: You are the special creation of a good and all-powerful God. You are the climax of His creation. Not only is your kind unique, but you are unique among your kind.
    How did various plants and animals develop?
    • Evolution: A simple cell evolved to more complex plants and animals through the process of time, chance, natural selection, mutations, and survival of the fittest over a period of billions of years.
    • Creation: God created various plants, animals, kinds, and species in a harmonic balance to reflect His attributes and character.
    Complexity of Life
    • Cells: Thanks to today’s more powerful microscopes, we know that a single-cell organism, the most basic unit of any living thing, is incredibly complex.
    • DNA: Is like the software of the cell, the computer program that makes it work. In fact, if you took a tablespoon and filled it to the top with this DNA, your tablespoon could contain the precise instructions to build every single species of organism that has ever existed on the planet.
    • Astronomy: “Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.” - Robert Jastrow

    Dealing with Doubts - Why I Believe in Creation, Part 1 May 06, 2025

    Did you know that some of the most severe critics of evolution are not Christians, not creationists, but leading scholars…non-believing, scholars who say the scientific evidence simply doesn’t support evolution? Chip explains that the premise that science and faith are mutually exclusive is patently false!

    Dealing with Doubts - Why I Believe in Life After Death, Part 2 May 05, 2025
    Show notes

    Do you believe in heaven and hell? Are they specific places or just concepts? Is there any real evidence that points to a literal heaven and a literal hell? Chip explains what the Bible actually teaches about hell. And answers the serious question: How could a loving God send people to hell? Chip brings clarity and helpful insight.

    Main Points 7 Evidences of Life after Death:
    1. Nature
    2. Anthropology
    3. Psychology
    4. Ethics
    5. Philosophy
    6. Science: Near-Death Experience
    7. Jesus and the Bible
    Four basic truths
    1. At death, every person’s soul enters immediatelyand consciously into relational aspects of eternal existence.
    2. One day, everyone will be resurrected and live forever.
    3. Every person will be judgedand granted the “extended capacity” to fulfill in eternity the deepest yearnings and desires of their heart while on earth.
    4. Every person will spend eternity in heaven with Christ and fellow believers, or in hell separated from God forever.
    Why there must be a Hell:
    • Man’s dignity and freedom demands a Hell.
    • God’s holiness and justice demand a Hell.
    • Sin’s seriousnessdemands a Hell.
    • Evil’s defeat demands a Hell.
    Conclusion:
    • Will your eternal future be a blissful adventure or a horrible choice?

    Show notes

    When you breathe your last breath and close your eyes one final time, what happens next? People are fascinated by that question. Is there life after death? Is it just lifeless, nothingness? Or is there evidence to say once we die, we’re actually alive somewhere, somehow, in some other way? Chip gives 7 specific evidences for life after death.

    Main Points 7 Evidences of Life after Death:
    1. Nature
    2. Anthropology

    Dealing with Doubts - Why I Believe in the Bible, Part 2 May 01, 2025
    Show notes

    If you’ve ever wondered if the Bible is true – this program is for you. Chip puts the Bible on trial and lays out a case for the authenticity of scripture. He presents evidence that the Bible, as we have it today, IS reliable. And is the true, Word of God - just as meaningful to us, as it was to its first readers.

    Main Points Five plaguing questions about the Bible:
    1. Is the Bible the word of men or the very words of God?
    2. Is the Bible full of myths, legends, and fairytales, or is it historically reliable?
    3. Is all of the Bible true and trustworthy or only portions of it?
    4. Can a Bible that has been translated so many times, for so many hundreds of years, really be accurate?
    5. What makes the Bible so different from all other religious writings and their claims to truth?
    7 Reasons why I believe in the Bible:
    1. ARCHEOLOGY – The Bible is a historically accurate document.
    2. REVELATION – The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God.
    3. ORIGIN – The Bible is unique. Its origin, structure, and unity argue for a supernatural authorship.
    4. JESUS – believed the Old Testament to be the very Words of God and predicted the New Testament to be likewise.
    5. PROPHECY – sets the Bible apart from all other Religions.
    6. TRANSMISSION – The Bible’s purityand perseverance throughout the centuries is nothing short of miraculous.
    7. IMPACT – The Bible’s power to transform lives is overwhelming.

    In this program, Chip asks: Is it intellectually feasible to believe that a collection of sixty-six manuscripts, by forty different authors, written in three languages, over a period of fifteen hundred years could actually be the very words of God? If you’ve ever struggled with questions about the authenticity and integrity of the Bible, what Chip shares will be a great encouragement.

    Dealing with Doubts - Jesus, You, and Experiential Evidence, Part 2 Apr 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Have you ever had an experience that changed your opinion or attitude on something? I mean, you thought you knew all the facts—until you went through a situation that completely changed your mind. In this program, guest teacher John Dickerson will do that by sharing two powerful testimonies that’ll touch your heart.

    Main Points Three basic evidence categories to know that Jesus' radical claims are true:
    1. ANCIENT evidence – historical writers (Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, etc.)
    2. EXTERNAL evidence – an objective human record of Christ’s impact on humanity.
    3. INTERNAL evidence – this is evidence that can only be known through experience.
    The power of “currents”
    • In life we get carried along by different currents: Popularity, achievement, material possessions, relationships
    • These currents while alluring and momentarily satisfying, are actually taking us into anxiety and we can’t get out.
    • You’ll never know for sure if the ‘current’ of Jesus will carry you to fulfillment unless you get into it.
    The “current” available to everyone: John 3:16
    • This “current” is the only one that brings salvation to anyone who believes.
    • Jeremiah 29:13
    • Matthew 11:28
    • The fulfillment of Jesus is found in the space between religion and relationship.

    If someone asked you: “How do you know Jesus actually lived?” or “Can we really trust the Bible?” what would you say? In this program, guest teacher John Dickerson will address these questions. He is going to unpack the evidence for Christianity and highlight notable Christians from history who changed our world.

    Dealing with Doubts - Rethinking Apologetics for the 21st Century, Part 2 Apr 25, 2025
    Show notes

    The current moral decline and theological compromise among Christians is no longer concerning – it’s alarming. We see division and false teaching, even in the Church itself. What can those who care do? In this program, Chip explains how can we stand for biblical truth and winsomely communicate, even regarding controversial issues, with love and integrity - just like Jesus did.

    Main Points Rethinking our communication
    • Yesterday: Apologetics were about what we believe and why. And it was aimed at answering the skeptic’s questions.
    • Today: We need to aim apologetics first and foremost toward believers, especially young people.
    • Yesterday: We needed to master facts, data, and history to intellectually prove what we believe is true.
    • Today: We need to model a concerned and compassionate life-style that proves that what we believe is actually relevant.
    • Yesterday: We needed to win the debate.
    • Today: We need to win an audience.
    • Yesterday: We communicated on a level playing field that presumed TRUTH was an objective reality.
    • Today: We communicate on the shifting sands of TRUTH as a subjective reality.
    • Yesterday: The Church and the culture shared a general knowledge of the Bible.
    • Today: Both the Church and the world are biblically illiterate.
    • Yesterday: Committed Christian men or women were admired.
    • Today: Committed Christian men or women have been called “dangerous”.
    • Yesterday: We could begin with the truth and then express grace.
    • Today: We must begin with grace in order to share the truth.
    • Yesterday: The moral climate and the values of major institutions like education, medicine, and the media reinforced our values.
    • Today: The moral climate of major institutions challenge and ridicule our our faith.
    What this means for you:
    • The early Church had a living hope. --1 Peter 1:1-3
    • They believed they had an inheritance. --1 Peter 1:4, 6
    • We need to be sober in our thinking. --1 Peter 1:13-15
    • We need to have a faith that is rooted in eternity that leads to living a holy life, which leads to a fervent love for others. --1 Peter 1:22-23
    • Get rid of all hypocrisy, get rid of anger, and stop blaming. --1 Peter 2:1-2
    • Have lips of praise and encouragement. --1 Peter 2:20-24
    • The number one apologetic is your life. It’s a holy life, with an eternal perspective, that’s radically loving. --1 Peter 3:8-9
