Skeptical: Why Should I Trust the Bible?

God invites believers, seekers and skeptics to "come and see;" therefore, the Church should be a safe place to ask hard questions about the Christian faith. This sermon addresses questions regarding the reliability of scripture, examining the cohesive story in the Bible, the tradition of oral transmission, the issue of textual errors and the preservation of scripture. There is compelling evidence to conclude that the Bible is the most trustworthy ancient document in existence.

Skeptical: Doesn't the Bible Condone Genocide and Other Atrocities?

There are passages in the Old Testament in which God commands the Israelite Army to utterly destroy certain Canaanite cities in the land that God promised to Abraham and his descendants. This sermon addresses hard questions: Is God a genocidal, malevolent bully? Is the God of the Old Testament the same God we read about in the New Testament? Pastor Nate gives three responses. One, God brings judgment upon a generationally wicked Canaanite culture. Two, God desired to stop the spiritual poison (of the Canaanites) from spreading to the Israelites and the nations. Three, God was exceedingly patient with the Canaanites. In the New Testament, God displays both His judgment and His love through the sacrifice of Christ. Christians are now agents of God's love, reconciliation and peace - not God's judgment.
