Has science disproved Christian beliefs, and do we have to choose between being a person of faith and person of reason and science?

In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between Christianity and science, providing a Scriptural perspective. By revisiting the doctrine of revelation, we will discover how scientific inquiry can reveal evidence of God's existence and power in nature. We will also address the major areas of tension between science and Christianity, demonstrating how our faith not only withstands the challenges posed by modern science but also offers the most compelling answers to some of life's most important questions.

Series description:

In an age marked by growing skepticism, individuals are increasingly seeking answers to profound questions. As believers, it is imperative that we equip ourselves to provide thoughtful responses to these inquiries.

Join us this summer for a teaching series we are calling, "Why Believe?: Answering Big Questions About God & the Bible," as we embark on a journey to equip ourselves with Scriptural insights to help us give an answer for our faith. Each week will include engaging lectures, and opportunities to discuss the topics further in small groups!

Together, we will explore big questions like, “Does the Bible Promote Hate and Discrimination?”, “Has Science Disproved Christianity?”, and “How Can A Loving God Send People to Hell?”. By facing these questions head on, we will prepare ourselves to engage an increasingly skeptical culture with Scriptural, and well-reasoned answers!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Genesis 3:1-5 (Genesis 2:9 & 16-17; 3:1-5; John 8:44; 14:15; 3:1; Revelation 12:7-9; 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:10-11 & 16; Proverbs 23:7; 2 Corinthians 2:11; James 4:7; Philippians 4:8)

What comes to mind when you think of spiritual warfare? If you Google spiritual warfare, you'll find all sorts of images of demons, dragons, and the devil that would scare anyone. If you look at Satan's first attack on humanity, it looked nothing like any of these images. Satan is out to destroy all that God has labeled to be good and he is good at what he does! When we study Satan's attack on Adam and Eve, you will discover that his methods are way different than people might think!

Series description:

To understand life, we must understand where it all began. The question of, "Why are we here..." can be answered by, "Who made us." If we are here because of a cosmic accident, that means that we are part of a random accident that happened millions of years ago. But if we were created by a creator, then our life has purpose and meaning because we were planned and desired! To understand life, we must understand our beginning! Origins will be an in-depth study of the first chapters of the Bible that explains the foundations and purpose for everything!
