More Rotten Tomatoes Join us for a three-week series with John Rosensteel, Brandon Ryan, and Matt Metzger entitled, "More Rotten Tomatoes." On Tuesday, Nov. 3, 10, and 17 at 8pm in the Regent basement, we'll be piggy-backing off of the current series at Blackhawk (Rotten Tomatoes) to look at and wrestle with more of the tough questions within our faith. Nov. 3rd — "How can a good God allow bad things?" In a world of obvious evil and suffering, how can there be a God who is both good and in control? This question strikes at the heart of Christianity and demands a response. Audio: » Click here to listen to the audio of John's talk. Right click and save as to download. Nov. 10th — "Do I have to change my life to be a Christian?" Many people tend to think that being a Christian means following a bunch of rules that make life boring. But would it be surprising find out that following those rules is not a requirement, but merely a response to something much greater? Audio: » Click here to listen to the audio of Brandon's talk.

Kingdom Come: Rediscovering the Mission and Message of Jesus Social Justice, Sex-trafficking, Global Warming... and Jesus. Does Jesus have anything to say about the pressing issues of our world today? Was he merely a teacher of spiritual truth, or have centuries of tradition caused us to forget how his mission and message have explosive potential for social and personal transformation? On October 13 and 20, Tim Mackie will be exploring the Jewish background and contemporary significance of Jesus of Nazareth, and how he forces us to rethink God, ourselves, and the needs of our world.

I Doubt It Science and Christianity: Can they coexist? Science and Christianity. Are they really as opposed as people make them out to be?

Collins » The Lost World of Genesis One by John H. Walton » Three Views on Creation and Evolution by J.P.
