So That You May Believe | Part 107 by Bent Tree Church

This is part two of our new “mini-series” on our podcast around “Lies Pastors Believe”. We're surfacing some of the flawed ideas that we've found in ourselves and other pastors, and we believe that naming and exploring these flawed stories will help us gain clarity about our calling and point us in a healthier direction.

We believe divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Jesus and is the privilege of all believers.

So That You May Believe | Part 106 by Bent Tree Church

Week 1, Class 2 of The Eudaimonia School of Ministry Program.

The church is described throughout the New Testament as a body. Like a body the church has a purpose.  One purpose of the church is to be a witness, to be the hands and feet of Jesus going to the lost and sharing a message of hope and salvation. We believe the primary purpose of the church is the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

God's Word is the foundation of our life. But are we explaining it to God or allowing Him to explain it to us? In this message we learn to trust the entire Word of God.

In the final episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series, we sit down with Ken Samples, a philosopher and theologian who is dedicated to helping people grasp the reasonableness and relevance of Christianity's truth claims. As the senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe and the author of multiple books, Ken brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our discussion of how faith and science intersect.Ken begins by explaining what it means to be both a philosopher and theologian, offering a glimpse into his daily work and how these roles intersect in his mission to explore and explain the depths of Christian doctrine. His dedication to demonstrating the logical and practical aspects of Christianity is evident as he delves into what he means by the "reasonableness" and "relevance" of faith.For those who are skeptical or feel "too smart" to believe in God, Ken offers a thoughtful and inviting approach to starting conversations about faith. He shares some of the meeting points where faith and science intersect in ways that can be easier for non-believers to grasp.We also explore Kenneth's views on central Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the incarnation, and the atonement, and how these concepts are compatible with reason. His explanations are tailored for those who might be skeptical but genuinely want to believe.He also shares his insights on how seekers can differentiate truth from hearsay, indoctrination, or false teachings, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and discernment in the pursuit of truth.Finally, we discuss how science and scripture align in Kenneth's view, with specific references to scriptures that have profoundly impacted his beliefs and understanding. His thoughtful and well-reasoned approach provides a compelling case for the harmony between faith and science.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Ken Samples, as we explore the deep connections between reason, faith, and the quest for truth in the final episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series.GUEST: Ken Samples Reasons To Believe Website & Resources HERE HOST: @LeanneEllington To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prayer is the lifeblood of the disciple of Jesus. In his final days with the disciples, Mark told the disciples in Mark that their faith would allow them to pray with such conviction and confidence that whatever they asked for would be granted to them by God. But that belief carries an important precaution. Prayer is not a cosmic vending machine, that demands God to act on our own terms. Prayer is an act of vulnerability and obedience, in which we declare our dependence on God, and our willingness to decenter our own needs and desires.  HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsReflection Questions:1. What is the mountain you'd like to move?2. How has the power of prayer changed you? The world? 3. Who do you need to forgive?

In the third episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Jeff Zweerink, a senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe and a project scientist at UCLA. With a PhD in astrophysics, Jeff has dedicated his career to exploring the fascinating connections between the truths of Scripture and scientific evidence. Jeff is an accomplished author, whose writings and talks are aimed at encouraging people to delve into the intersection of faith and science. During our conversation, Jeff shares what it's like to be an astrophysicist and project scientist, offering a glimpse into his daily work and the exciting challenges of his field. We discuss his passion for teaching about the connection between Scripture and scientific evidence, and he walks us through his personal journey to faith. Jeff is known for tackling tough "What if...?" questions, even engaging with atheists in fair and fearless dialogue. We explore some of the most common and challenging questions he encounters, and he offers insight into how to approach these critical discussions for those who are seeking but struggling with their faith. For the skeptics, cynics, or those who feel "too smart" to believe in God, Jeff shares powerful starting points for conversation where faith and science meet in ways that are accessible and compelling. Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion as Dr. Jeff Zweerink helps us navigate the rich dialogue between faith and science, showing how each can illuminate the other.GUEST: Dr. Jeff Zweerink Reasons To Believe Website & Resources HERE HOST: @LeanneEllington To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For many, the existence of suffering and evil in the world is the greatest hurdle to full faith and belief in God. It seems irreconcilable that a God who is all-powerful and all-loving could allow the presence of pain and hardship. It is a dilemma that preacher and biblical scholar Tom Long called “the impossible chess match,” in which there is no clear and clean outcome. But faith allows us to trust where there are no easy answers, and follow God when we ask our hardest questions. HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsReflection Questions:1. When have you wrestled with God's relationship to human suffering? 2. What has given you strength during times of hardship? Where do you think God was? 3. How have you experienced God transforming your suffering into something positive?

In the second episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series, we're thrilled to sit down with Dr. Fuz Rana, the president, CEO, and senior scholar at Reasons to Believe. With a deep expertise in biochemistry, genetics, human origins, and synthetic biology, Dr. Rana passionately shares the scientific evidence that supports biblical creation and God's existence. Dr. Rana's work focuses on human exceptionalism, exploring how science shows that humans are unique. Whether he's examining ancient hominids or the future of transhumanism, he provides compelling insights that bridge the gap between faith and science. During our conversation, we dive into what a biochemist does and what a typical day looks like for him.  He  also gives us a high-level overview of the scientific case for God's existence and the Bible's reliability, exploring how biochemistry, genetics, and other fields support these ideas. He explains key points where faith meets science in ways that are easy to grasp, and we also discussed the concept of "human exceptionalism" and how it can deepen our understanding of God and scripture.

The early church theologian Anselm defined God as “a being than which nothing greater can be conceived.” This central premise led to the classic “omni” qualities of God: Omnipresence (God is everywhere), omnipotence (God is all powerful), and omnipresent (God is all knowing). These qualities have occasionally been problematic for us due to the presence of suffering and evil in the world. By reframing these qualities and incorporating God's “omnibenevolence” (God's all-lovingness), we can discover who God is in a deeper, more uplifting way.  HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsReflection Questions:1. Who are people who have embodied a quality of God for you? 2. Which attribute of God do you have the hardest time understanding or accepting? 3. When have you experienced the omnibenevolence of God?

Sanctification is the process of being made holy, set apart for God's purposes, and transformed into the likeness of Christ. It begins at conversion, when a person first places their faith in Jesus Christ and is born again. This ongoing process involves spiritual growth and moral development, aligning daily life with God's will and growing in virtues like love, patience, humility, and purity.

Join us for the first episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series as we chat with Dr. Hugh Ross, the founder and senior scholar of Reasons to Believe. Dr. Ross has an incredible journey from skepticism to faith, and he's here to share it with us. With a background in astrophysics, Hugh's studies in cosmology led him to a surprising conclusion—the existence of a Creator, specifically the God of the Bible. Dr. Ross, who has a degree in physics and a PhD in astronomy, explains how he integrates observations from different scientific fields to explore the connections between science and faith. We'll dive into what an astrophysicist actually does, and how Hugh's workday looks as he blends science and spirituality. He also offers insights for skeptics and non-believers, highlighting the meeting points where science and faith intersect. This series is unlike any we have ever done, and that's why we are so excited to really dive into this conversation all about where faith meets science. But also where science meets miracles and creation.

James 1:19-27

The dual nature of Jesus is central to Christian belief. We believe Jesus was 100% human and 100% divine. It is as difficult to understand this concept empirically (1+1=1) as it is to believe in the trinity (1+1+1=1). But claiming the full humanity and divinity of Jesus allows us to have a full relationship with God, who through Christ is both greater than us and is deeply connected to us.  HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsReflection Questions:1. Do you tend to have a “high” or “low” image of Jesus? 2. What significance does the full divinity and humanity of Jesus have for you? 3. How will you deepen your love and appreciation for Jesus this week?

The doctrine of the trinity is one of the most essential tenets of the Christian faith. It is also the hardest to explain and understand rationally. By claiming our belief in the triune God, we not only allow for the mystery of God's nature and activity; we also discover how to fully live a trinitarian life, the way God intends.  HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps.comReflection Questions:1. What are the hardest questions about the faith that you wrestle with? 2. What is your favorite image of the trinity? 3. How will you live a trinitarian life this week?

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a promised experience that is subsequent and distinct from new birth. The purpose for receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Spirit empowered witness.

[Part 2] with Dr. Tawa Andersonapologetics, apologetics profile, watchman fellowship, Christianity, deconstruction, Tawa Anderson, Daniel Ray, evangelism, defend the faith, atheism, agnostic, skeptic, postmodern, gospel, God, JesusWith the advent of modern transportation and communication technologies, we are daily inundated with news, information, and ideas from all over the world. Such easy access to so many ideas and concepts wholly foreign to our own can, at times, be overwhelming without having an anchor of truth to which we may cling. Even as believers, much of what makes the news today, much of what you hear coming from other religions, secular science or contemporary sociology tends to dismiss the Christian faith or simply disregard it as irrelevant.Our guest again this week, Dr. Tawa Anderson of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, gives us some encouraging reminders about why Christianity is true and how we can defend it in this day and age of skepticism and clashing worldviews.Dr. Tawa Anderson was raised in a non-Christian home and came to faith in high school. He was called to ministry and served as English Pastor at Edmonton Chinese Baptist Church from 2001-2008. After completing his PhD, Dr. Anderson taught at Oklahoma Baptist University from 2011-2022 before joining the faculty at NOBTS. Tawa is the author of Why Believe?

We believe the Lord's Supper is one of the two ordnances of the church. We believe the Lord's Supper consisting of the elements --bread and the fruit of the vine are symbols expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, a memorial of his suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming.

The world often appears to us as though it is spinning out of control. Words don't mean what they used to mean. We live amidst a great deal of moral and societal confusion. Statistics are cited that seem to show an increasing number of people who no longer believe in God. The central message of the Christian faith, the deity, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, no longer seems to be credible to our postmodern world.The good news is that the Gospel is as relevant and powerful today as it was when it was first proclaimed centuries ago. On this episode, we talk with professor of philosophy and apologetics at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary about his 2021 book Why Believe? Christian Apologetics for a Skeptical Age (B&H Academic, 336-pages bit.ly/WhyBelieve2). Tawa's work provides Christians and non-believers alike timely and insightful reminders about why Christianity remains defensible and credible, even in a world that seems to be spiraling out of control. Dr. Tawa Anderson was raised in a non-Christian home and came to faith in high school.
