Lectures from 2016

In a society that is steadily abandoning its Christian heritage, how do we witness to and communicate with our unbelieving neighbours?

Without love to God and a recognition of his Word-revelation to us in Christ and in Scripture, we are not only unable to truly love our neighbor, we cannot even identify them truly. We find, in fact, that we cannot answer the most elementary question ‘what is a human person?’ Our rejection of God and the image of God in man leads to the endless defacing and destruction of that image, rather than seeking life and light in the triune God. 

Worship of the true God has always been unintelligible to depraved minds. Natural man's impulse is toward self-worship, most clearly depicted in humanism and paganism. These false doctrines are most insidious not in the broader culture, but in the church.

Amidst all the complexity of the world, there are two basic ways to understand it – either in terms of God's Word or man's idea. Learn more about the significance of God's self-revelation through his Word.

Modern Western culture is increasingly hostile to the Christian worldview. How did we get to this point, and what is the Christian response?

The biblical story begins and ends with a wedding; sexuality is a major issue in the Kingdom of God, and is an area that the devil has sought to twist and distort. Learn about the robust biblical teaching on sexuality and marriage.

The question as to whether there is a conflict between reason and religion is misleading when we come to understand the biblical concept of 'reasoning' (understanding) and its subjection to man's religious nature.

What does the incarnation of Jesus Christ mean? The historic nature of Christianity makes it a unique, real and living faith, over against materialist or spiritual heresies.
