Understanding the Creation - Evolution Controversy part 1: The Authority of the Bible

Genesis 1:1 states: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

Most Christians would immediately agree with that statement but when challenged, many fall apart and fail to give an accurate defense of the Bible. Tragically, many give up and instead of digging in to find out why we believe what we believe, the Bible and its truths are compromised all because of intimidation and the fear of man.

So, if you’ve perceived the Creation/Evolution debate with trepidation or have seen the Genesis account as a sort of black hole then, Eric Barger, and his guest, Jay Seegert, of the Creation Education Center, have answers for you! Be sure to tune in or download part one of this new series!

The Proof and the Power of the Resurrection part 2

The evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is some of the most overwhelming known to man. It is also some of the most hotly disputed by unbelievers because of the gravity of what it presents – that being, a risen savior who calls ALL MEN to surrender their lives and repent of their sins and then follow Him.

Join Eric as he'll be looking at the Resurrection through the lens of statistics and mathematics. What is the probability that Jesus could have fulfilled just a handful of the best-known Old Testament messianic prophesies - and yet have NOT been the Messiah of Israel?

You're also going to hear of some of the extravagant, outlandish theories that men have devised in vain efforts to disprove the fact that Jesus rose bodily from the dead!

Tune in and call a friend as we examine the Proof and the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - Take A Stand Radio is on the air!

The Proof and the Power of the Resurrection part 1

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the literal the capstone of Christianity. Besides fulfilling each and every biblical prophecy that Scripture mandates of the Messiah, Jesus’ crowning triumph was that He indeed DID raise from the dead - and not just spiritually, as so many liberal theologians, heretics, and uninformed religionists have postulated. The God-man from Nazareth beat death, he defeated Hell, and He conquered the grave, and He offers the same to whosoever places their trust in Him as Savior, Messiah, and Lord. This is perhaps our greatest reason for our hope as Christians. However, many Believers fail to confidently present reasons and evidence for this, the lynchpin of our faith.

This week on Take A Stand Radio we’re going to examine the "Proof and the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ" and why every Christian has great reason to celebrate and give bold witness of His triumph over the grave each and every day! Make sure to tune in!
