Lecture 1
Christ Alone: The Only and Sufficient Savior
Dr. Rod Rosenbladt
122 minutes
Christians make the bold claim that Christ is the only way to God. This claim is a common objection to Christianity. In this seminar, Dr. Rosenbladt makes the case that Jesus Christ is unique, as the only savior of this world, and he is the sufficient savior of this world. What does the Bible say about Christ as the sole and sufficient savior? How do Christians make the case for the exclusivity of Christ in our post-modern, relativistic age where any claims of truth are met with scrutiny? How did the Reformers address these questions? And, how do we as Christians make the case that Christ’s exclusivity is indeed true? These are a few of the questions Dr. Rosenbladt addresses.
Lecture 2
The Bible: Its Authority and Reliability
Pastor Charlie Mallie
129 minutes
Non-Christians find the reliability and authority of the Bible doubtful, and the dependability of the Bible must be firmly established before they will believe the promises that the Bible contains. Why do Christians believe that the Bible is God’s Word? Having cut his teeth evangelizing on the street, Pastor Mallie takes the listener through the “dos” and “don’ts” of evangelism, particularly related to the topic of the reliability and authority of the Bible by providing a historical perspective on the validity of the New Testament.
Lecture 3
Sin: Original and Actual
Pastor William Cwirla
122 minutes
What is the place of the doctrine of sin in apologetics? Why should we even spend time talking about sin? Are we sinners or are we saints? “The wages of sin is death,” according to St. Paul. The revealed law and doctrine of sin tell us the truth about who we are. If unbelievers don’t understand the depth of their sin, they won’t understand their need for salvation. And to fail to distinguish the Law and the Gospel properly is to fail to understand either. This is a great discussion that is applicable to both believers and unbelievers alike.
Lecture 4
The Problem of Evil
Pastor Charlie Mallie
116 minutes
The ‘Problem of Evil’ is considered by some the best argument against Christianity. The argument often goes something like this: ‘Why would a good good, who is all powerful allow evil to happen?’ How this question is answered can often do more harm than good? How should Christians address this touchy subject? Pastor Mallie goes through how to address this problem as well as arguments that ought to be avoided.
Lecture 5
Truth and Relativism: Christian Faith in a Post-Modern World
Pastor Charlie Mallie
