We’re all on a journey. From the day we open our eyes in this life until the day we close them, questions follow us.
- Why are we here?
- Where did we come from?
- Will we open our eyes on the other side?
- If so, what will we see?
We’re told this book—the Bible—has the answers.
But so many voices rail against it:
Sometimes we don’t read past the familiar stories we learned in children’s church:
- Adam and Eve
- Noah
- Samson
- David and Goliath
- Job
- Jonah and the Great Fish
Or, maybe we’re stopped by the violence that slipped under the radar when we were kids.
Now, it stares us right in the face.
We ask ourselves:
- Is this book credible?
- Is there anything here to build faith on?
The answer? Beyond a doubt.
The most vocal skeptics do a great job of butting against a tower of scaffolding—a system of ideas built on top of the text itself to hold up various doctrines. However, we have to dig to uncover what the text is actually saying. It’s not their fault. The church doesn’t spend much time on the historical context.
The Overlooked Evidence
Today, we focus so much on life in the kingdom – sermons that provide a foundation for righteous living – that we rarely teach how we got here.
But that’s where the evidence lies.
There’s so much prophecy we can verify, and that’s our wheelhouse.
Our goal is to show it to you, giving you a strong foundation for faith.
Concrete Evidence
Since there is so much skepticism regarding the Gospels, we try to treat them as a “black box”. We look mainly at the events leading up to it and the events after it to show how they are exactly as the Bible said they would be. We do this to build confidence that the events of the Gospels were the impetus for the subsequent event.
For example:
- Was Jesus resurrected?
My faith says yes.
I wasn’t there, but I can see the concrete results. - Was Jesus born of a virgin?
My faith says yes.
Only two people knew for sure, but I can see the results.
Our world is exactly as the Bible said it would be:
- Jesus rejected by His people.
- Jerusalem destroyed.
- The Jewish people scattered.
- The church spreading worldwide from just 12 disciples.
- The Jewish people returning to their land.
- Hostile nations surrounding them.
- The world aligning against them.
The evidence is all around us.
