Today's message is a brief one, I m sitting watching my son at his soccer team practice on Saturday morning as they prepare for their trip to Australia in January 2015.There is an accusation that is sometimes made of us that we are too gullible and believe everything we are told despite there being no evidence of God.
Although our faith needs to be childlike, it should never be naïve. It is not wrong for anyone to question what we believe and we should never be afraid of it. The truth will always come out in time anyway so we can be very relaxed.
I am 100% certain that the words of Jesus will never be proven wrong. Misunderstood and misinterpreted yes, but never wrong. I think the evidence for God is overwhelming if you Open Your Eyes!
Jesus told us "I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. Be as wary as serpents and harmless as doves"
For more than a year in Youth Group, we've been covering different evidences for God. We're not running out of material anytime soon : ) Here are some videos we showed in Term 4 which give some historical evidence for stories in the Bible;
28/10 Noahs Ark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml15qU_mZIo
04/11 Sodom and Gomorrah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZKBHyIBrHA
19/11 Red Sea Crossing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsa7ebyUVD4
There are 2 other videos from the same series which we haven't done yet. The last one, the Ark of the Covenant, I would like to see some proof before I believe it. Sorry if that makes me a doubting Thomas!
Mt Sinai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-eSRcr9CWw
The Ark of the Covenant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYIwjYN4JVo
I'll leave you today with this thought. In the news yesterday was this article on Dark Matter, the unseen force that holds the universe together and doesn't fit with any known scientific equation.
Is it reasonable to believe this Dark Matter is the scientific discovery of Colossians 1 16 "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." ?
