036-06 Why Jesus?
Published by Jeff, on September 23rd, 2007 in 036 WHY: Life's Biggest Questions, Front Page.
In this message, I address Jesus’ claims to exclusivity. Why do Christians believe that Jesus is the only way to God? Isn’t that narrow-minded? Well, that’s what Jesus taught, so we need to understand what he meant!

For over 500 years, the church has been in conflict of some kind with scientific minded people. Why is that? What’s the solution?
In this message, I deal with the apparent conflict between science and the Bible, cover some ground in the Creation vs. Evolution debate, and discuss the limits of both scientific knowledge and biblical knowledge. Definitely thought-provoking.

If you had the power to stop it, how much pain would you allow a loved one to experience before intervening? That’s the question Pastor Jeff leads with in this message.
The fourth week of our WHY> campaign has me teaching about how we can believe in a good God when the world is so messed up and what difference that belief makes in our lives.

Published by Jeff, on September 5th, 2007 in 036 WHY: Life's Biggest Questions, Front Page, Tough Questions.At Southside Church, we have been going through a churchwide campaign called, WHY> 40 Days Pursuing Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions.
I haven’t posted the sermons yet, but we’re just finishing our second week of the program, and already I’ve been challenged with some pretty big questions.
During the first small group discussion at my house, a man shared a little about his own spiritual journey and posed this question to our group: Why does God demand total submission?
I’ve been pondering it for a while, and here’s my response.

Explain to me, how this fits in with primates??? With all due respect, i think his aim with "god set it up that way" was meant to be an insult of some kind. He sounds very passionate about this subject and with passion comes biases. While i'm not researched in anyway on this specific argument, generally speaking i'm convinced these people only look at their "evidence" with one prospective; 1st proves evolution or doesn't.. They don't even consider any other possibility of what it could mean..Taken at face value because i don't know anything about the human gnome and could be missing key things due to pure ignorance. Start of video; You had plenty of time to research and form a "theory" on something then proceed to drop this well researched project on someone and expect them to refute you on the drop of dime?? I dont think you need a PHD to say; you should allow someone to try refute your findings within a respectable time frame. That seems like the most objective thing to do. Although i think this would show insecurity on "Ken's" part. (To have holes punched in something your just presenting would be kind embarrassing. or was it arrogance?) Rest of video: Sounds like its not an exact match, "within 15 bases", and something about Telomeres not belonging? The choice of "correspond with" instead of something like is "exactly like", implicates some differences as well?.. But i could be completely wrong.. "no reason, no rhyme" sounds like he is insulting the bible as well. Would be very interested in hearing a completely objective view on these findings..
