Fact: American culture is becoming increasingly “post-Christian”. Full of skeptics – people who express a deep ambivalence, even disbelief, about the Christian message. The purpose of this 5-week series is to provide practical guidance to help believers respectfully engage skeptics in our late-modern culture.

The Skeptic - Part 5: Anti-biblical
February 7, 2016 • Senior Pastor Armin Sommer
Curious about how the New Testament came to us? One letter was copied laboriously, often dozens of times by the same copyist for distribution, with each being checked against the original. Before those copies fell apart or lost, they also would be hand-copied at the place where they’d been sent. Consequently, it is not that hard to construct the original with great accuracy. Find out more.
The Skeptic - Part 4: The Scienfitic Naturalist
January 31, 2016 • Senior Pastor Armin Sommer
Remember the introductory question that can be useful when interacting with any worldview that is skeptical of the Christian message. You may hear something like, “Science disproves creation” or “Science proves there is no God” or “Science proves evolution.” Learn to ask, “That’s interesting. Why do you believe that?” Then listen carefully.
The Skeptic - Part 3: The Moral Relativist
January 17, 2016 • Senior Pastor Armin Sommer
Moral Relativism: This worldview is challenging, primarily because moral relativism has shaped the way many of us think. A survey by the Barna Organization revealed 71% of Christians develop their own slate of religious beliefs. Many people affirm that something that is “true for you” may not be “true for them”. Especially important, since Jesus made exclusive claims regarding truth.
