NAVIGATING LIFE’S STORMS, by Brent Denney

God never promised us that we wouldn't face storms in life, but only He would help us navigate through them.  In this teaching, BLF elder Brent Denney takes us on a journey of storm navigation.  

JESUS IN THE AGE OF UNIVERSALISM: Always Have an Answer, pt. 6

"CO-EXIST," proclaims one often-seen bumper sticker.  It carries the idea that all religious orientations essentially teach the same basic lessons and that all paths lead to the same God.  But do all paths lead to God, or only one?  What does the Bible say?  What did Jesus say of Himself in this regard?  All that and more is covered in this important teaching to equip you to address this issue.  

DEFENDING THE FAITH IN THE AGE OF DECEPTION: Always Have an Answer pt, 5

Francis Bacon once said, "A LITTLE science estranges a man from God, but a LOT of science brings him back."  And that is what we deal with in this teaching in addressing the various problems in the earth age theory of billions of years and the numerous holes in evolutionary theory.  The age of the earth and the origin of life on earth are addressed in the Bible, and science properly interpreted is beginning to show the reliability of God's Word in this regard.  

”THE BIBLE IS SIMPLY WRITTEN BY MEN AND FULL OF ERRORS”: Always Have an Answer, pt. 4

Many people today believe the Bible to be a storybook of fairytales, an ancient document full of errors and not relevant to our lives today.  However, discoveries in archeology and science confirms the accuracy and divine origin.  In this teaching, we delve into dinosaurs in the Bible, creation vs. evolution, the resurrection of Jesus, and several other questions about the Bible's accuracy.  If you have ever had questions about any of these things, this teaching is for you!  

ALWAYS HAVE AN ANSWER, pt. 3: More Responses to Objections to the Faith

This session addresses:

"What about people who have never seen a Bible or heard about Jesus;"

“People just need to find the path that seems right to them;"

"Being a good person is what really matters;"

and "How can a loving God send anyone to hell?"  

ALWAYS HAVE AN ANSWER, pt. 2

This part 2 session in the series provides more information to help you address objections to the Christian faith and evangelize more effectively.  

ALWAYS HAVE AN ANSWER: Addressing the Most Common Objections to Christ and the Bible

First Peter 3:15-16 instructs us to always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks us to give a reason for the hope that we have in Christ.  Thus, evangelism is not a suggestion; it is our mandate.  And in this day and age of skepticism and cynicism toward the gospel, we need to be well equipped to answer the various doubts and objections that people have.  This teaching deals with three common objections to the Christian faith and provides ways to help people overcome their doubts.  

AMDASSADORS: The Remnant pt. 3

Second Corinthians 5 tells us God is making His appeal to the world through you and me, that we are His ambassadors, and that we each have been given the ministry of reconciliation.  It falls to each Christ follower, then, to be a person who is involved in God's search and rescue mission of the lost, just as each of us was once lost but were found with the help of someone else's efforts.  While the subject of evangelism is uncomfortable for a lot of people, this teaching provides several tips that may help to make it less intimidating and more effective.  

THE HAPPINESS PARADOX: The Remnant, pt. 2

The Bible teaches that the only way to find true life is to lay yours down and take up your cross to follow Christ.  Therefore, happiness and fulfillment in life is a paradox.  It doesn't come by seeking to get your own needs met and desires fulfilled all the time.  This teaching explores the narrow way Jesus described in Matthew 7, and what it means to take up your cross to follow Him, and the glorious results of a life laid down.
