Separating Science from Scientism (Part 3) Atheist Richard Dawkins claims that "scientists get to work and solve problems" while those of faith offer nothing to help advance humanity. Stephen Hawking says the universe doesn't need God; it can make itself. What these famous scientists have in common is a belief in scientism, not science. With all the talk of “trusting the science,” it becomes crucial to learn the difference between what is knowledge and what is a faith statement that eliminates all other forms of knowledge. Lenny shows you how to recognize scientism in our latest podcast. This class is part of a full series of lectures entitled "Christianity and Science: Tackling the Issues of the 21st Century."

In this study, Lenny examines the historical evidence of Jesus’s passion that forms the foundation of our faith. Part 2 of 2

The End of Humanity (Part 2) The crucifixion of Jesus sits at the center of the Christian faith. It also marks the end of humanity. What does that mean, exactly? In this lesson, Lenny explains how the word "end" can convey a thing’s ultimate purpose as well as its final outcome. Join us as we explore how the crucifixion not only displays the ultimate example of evil in sinful creatures putting their holy Creator to death, but also sets a glorious destiny of forgiveness for Adam’s offspring.
