How old is our world? A creationist collected rock from the Mount St. Helens lava dome when it was ten years old, sent it off to the labs, and the ages came back between 340,000 and 2.8 million years. If the methods can miss by that much, what else are they telling us? Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research joins Quentin Road Baptist Church with three reasons to trust the Bible's own timeline: the flood evidence written across the earth's rock layers, the science that quietly caps the age of the earth far below billions of years, and the reason none of this is a side issue — if death came before Adam, then death is not the penalty for sin, and the cross has nothing to pay for. Along the way: fossils frozen in the death pose, a supposed ten-million-year gap in the rock with no erosion at all, forests strangely missing from the Ice Age, a Sahara that was once well watered, and creatures that appear to have lived like Methuselah. A mainstream geologist looked at rock said to take five million years to form and concluded it happened in hours. Scripture referenced: Genesis 5; Genesis 7:19-22; Exodus 20:11; Genesis 3:15; Job 40-41; Psalm 104; Isaiah 14:29; Mark 10:6; Romans 8:19-22; Colossians 1:16; 2 Peter 3:3-6; John 3:16

A Harvard astrophysicist once suggested that the best explanation for our moon is observational error — that the moon simply does not exist. Sometimes the theory is in more trouble than the evidence. In the Sunday school hour at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research takes the class on a tour of the solar system and deep space, and makes a claim that sounds backwards until you hear it out: recent creation is the more reasonable position. Age, he argues, is never measured in a laboratory — it is calculated from assumptions about the past, and those assumptions rule out creation before the evidence is ever examined. Then the tour: comets that should have melted away long ago, propped up by an Oort cloud that Carl Sagan admitted has no direct evidence behind it. Magnetic fields still humming on small bodies that should have gone cold eons ago. Saturn's rings, Titan's methane, volcanic Io, a crater-free plain on Pluto. Earth's own magnetic field losing half its energy every 1,400 years. A creation physicist who read 2 Peter 3:5 and predicted the magnetism of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune while mainstream models missed at nearly every planet. And the hard one everybody asks about — how we can see starlight from billions of light years away in a universe only thousands of years old. The companion to the morning message "Our Young World," and an entirely different subject: this hour is the sky. Scripture referenced: Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:5, 8; 2 Peter 3:5; Mark 10:6

The sermon explores God's transcendence as the foundational basis for Christian apologetics and faith. It argues that because God is wholly other, independent of creation, and the source of all reality, human reasoning must submit to His authority rather than relying on neutral empirical evidence. The preacher contrasts the finite nature of humanity with the infinite nature of God, asserting that truth and morality originate solely from Him. Consequently, defending the faith requires exposing the internal inconsistencies of unbelieving worldviews while pointing to Christ as the ultimate source of wisdom. This approach calls believers to humble worship and bold proclamation of the Gospel grounded in Scripture.

Pain can make it seem as though God is distant, silent, or absent. Yet Scripture assures Christians that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and that He will never leave or forsake His people. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why believers must anchor themselves in God's promises rather than allowing painful circumstances or overwhelming emotions to define what is true. God's presence does not depend upon whether we can feel it. He remains near, faithful, and actively at work in the lives of His people. Christians can honestly acknowledge their pain while continuing to seek the Lord, trust His Word, and walk by faith rather than sight.

Some defenders of the New Apostolic Reformation deny that it exists or argue that it cannot be identified because it is not a formal organization. However, books written and endorsed by the movement's own leaders openly describe the restoration of modern apostles and prophets, apostolic networks, apostolic centers, dominion theology, and the Seven Mountain Mandate. In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines published evidence from C. Peter Wagner and other influential NAR leaders. Their writings demonstrate that the New Apostolic Reformation is a recognizable movement with shared teachings concerning church government, spiritual authority, prophecy, cultural transformation, and modern apostles. Dawn concludes with a plea for Christians to test every teaching according to Scripture, return to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and trust the written Word of God as the final authority for faith and life.
