Aliens and a Global Flood
We know from Scripture that God created the heavens and the earth about 8000 years ago--not billions. And, He created mankind to live on the earth and no other planet. In addition to the prevalence of evolutionary teaching, much of our culture is obsessed with aliens and the potential of life on other planets. In this fascinating lesson, Pastor Davey addresses why evolutionists and ET-seekers are really hoping to dispel and disprove a Creator God. And he reminds us how the vast universe reminds us of God’s personal care of us.
The Creation of a Goldilocks World
As David wrote in Psalm 33, when we consider the heavens and earth, it should lead to the reverence of our awesome God. He created the planets, stars, the sun, and every galaxy, each with a specific purpose. In this tour of the heavens, Pastor Davey illuminates the meticulous and miraculous scientific details of the earth and heavenly bodies, reminding us that amid all God’s breathtaking creation, He knows and cares for us even more.
The Wonder of You
Evolutionists believe that humans are the result of an accident...billions of years of randomness resulting in the fascinating intelligence of the human body. From the human eye (which confounded Darwin himself) to minute cellular structures, we see the workings of our Creator God through every intricate detail of our body. This lesson explores attributes of human DNA and how it conclusively reveals meticulous design and function. We are not merely an accident. God created us with--and for--a purpose.
Taught by a Forest of Trees
Trees give us a reminder of who God is. They are intricately created and carry out some magnificent responsibilities on earth. In this lesson, Pastor Davey describes some of their astonishing attributes and illustrates how trees provide a metaphor for godly believers. Throughout Scripture, trees are also used as messengers of Gospel warnings and promises, revealing the ultimate hope of Heaven’s splendor.
The Original Jungle Book
The Bible happens to be the original Jungle Book. God created all things, from the tiniest bug to the hugest dinosaurs--and He made them all on the same day He made Mankind. Initially, all creatures lived in harmony with each other and with humans (all herbivores!). At the fall, all of creation was affected, even the animals, which would now fight over food and for their lives. Studying these creatures, specifically dinosaurs as described in the book of Job, shows us how magnificent God is, how small we are, and how solid our confidence in our Creator can be.
The Metamorphic Phenomena
Metamorphosis in nature transforms the weak into strong and the ordinary into magnificent. Most often, this natural transformation results from intense pressure, fierce refinement, or astonishing change. These same examples of metamorphosis can be applied through Scripture to our own Christian lives. In fact, we need all three principles in order to grow and mature as Believers. These processes are not comfortable and can be quite painful...but the result is a beautiful new thing for our good and to God’s glory.
Nature Gone Wild
Do you believe that God is in control of natural disasters--every hurricane, tsunami, and tornado? In His sovereignty, God commands and controls the entire natural world, just as He ordains each moment of our lives. It's a comfort to know that nothing is by accident. Even when our life and circumstances look and feel chaotic, God has everything under control. And, as we learn in this message, natural disasters have much to teach us about living out our faith in the all-powerful Creator.
Bird Watching for the Wise
Birds teach us valuable lessons about our Creator. Throughout Scripture, birds are used as an example of God’s love, protection, and provision for us. They even serve as a Biblical metaphor for repentance. In fact, Jesus actually delivers a command for us to observe and study birds (Matthew 6:26)! Here, Pastor Davey shares four ways that birds teach us key theological truths that can strengthen our daily walk with the Lord.
The Curriculum of Creation
Creation displays the power of God, revealing the Truth of an amazing Creator. As Christians, it's imperative that we notice the majesty of God's handiwork. We must not just look, but see; not just listen, but hear; not just eat, but taste--every sense gives us a reason to praise our Creator God. In this series introduction, Pastor Davey sets the foundation for profound lessons to be learned through Creation...if we pay attention.
The Final Promise
Grace: that's the word that best sums up the whole message of Scripture. And that's the word John uses to conclude his divinely inspired Revelation. After spending 22 chapters sharing with us his apocalyptic visions and indescribable prophecies of the future, he leaves us with a promise for the present: God's grace is with us.
