From the very beginning, the authority of God's Word has been under attack. God gave clear instruction in the Garden of Eden as recorded in Genesis 2:16 and following: "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'" In Genesis chapter 3, the serpent spoke to Eve, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" The serpent put this question in her mind to cause doubt and later countered what God said, "Ye shall not surely die." Tragically, Eve took of the fruit and ate it. She gave it to Adam, who also ate it, and thus sin entered into the world. We often look back and ask how could they do such a thing. Yet, in our secular world and in pulpits across the country, the same challenge is happening day after day, questioning the authority of the Scriptures. Returning to Crosstalk to answer this concern was Ken Ham. Ken is founder of Answers in Genesis and its life-changing attractions: the highly acclaimed Creation Museum and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Ken is a biblical apologist and author of multiple books, including Divine Dilemma (understanding death, disease, and suffering); Divided Nation (about today's culture wars); Creation to Babel (a devotional commentary); The Lie: Unraveling the Myth: Evolution/Millions of Years and Miraculous: The Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis Story.

The sermon presents a theologically charged exploration of divine design in human anatomy, biblical numerology, and eschatological symbolism, arguing that the human body—particularly the spine, cranial nerves, and DNA—reveals a profound, intentional blueprint pointing to God's sovereignty. It connects the number 33 (the vertebrae), 46 (chromosomes, the Tower of Babel, and the 46 words in Genesis), and 12 (cranial nerves) as divine signatures embedded in creation, suggesting that evolution cannot account for such intricate order. The speaker interprets modern phenomena—UFOs, AI, the New World Order, and Masonic symbolism—as fulfillments of biblical prophecy, particularly the rise of the Antichrist, whose identity is foreshadowed in the Tower of Babel, the European Union, and occult imagery. Ultimately, the message is a call to discernment: the coming trial of faith will be a fiery test of loyalty, where spiritual deception will mimic divine revelation, and believers must anchor their identity in God as the true High Tower, the unshakable foundation of salvation.

The sermon centers on the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the eternal Creator of all things, both visible and invisible, affirming His divine sovereignty and essential role in the origin and sustenance of the universe. Drawing from Colossians 1:16–20, it emphasizes that Christ is not only the agent and cause of creation but also its ultimate end, made for His glory and designed to reflect His joy and wisdom. The message unfolds through theological distinctions—ontology, economy, and perichoresis—to show that while the Father, Son, and Spirit are co-equal in essence, the Son is uniquely active as the Word through whom all things were made, sustaining creation by His power. The sermon challenges modern cultural debates on evolution by redirecting attention to Christ's supremacy, arguing that His creative work encompasses not only physical realities but also invisible forces like time, gravity, and human emotions, all of which testify to His lordship. Ultimately, the purpose of creation is revealed as a divine expression of joy and glory, inviting humanity to recognize Christ as both Creator and Redeemer, and to find deep fulfillment in worshiping Him as the source of all beauty, meaning, and eternal delight.

Augustine's life - This Sunday School explores the historical development of Christian thought on original sin, tracing key theological trajectories from the early church (exemplary, eschatological, and covenantal) before focusing on Augustine's pivotal role in shaping the Western understanding of humanity's fallen state through Adam. It highlights Augustine's personal journey from a wayward youth shaped by Manichaean dualism and classical philosophy to a profound spiritual conversion in a garden, where he encountered Scripture as a divine call to put on Christ. His life, marked by deep personal struggle, maternal devotion, and intellectual rigor, informed his theological contributions, including his doctrine of original sin, the imputation of guilt, and the necessity of divine grace. Pastor Jason underscores how Augustine's experiences and writings, particularly in 'The Confessions' and 'The City of God,' profoundly shaped Christian theology, especially regarding human nature, sin, and redemption, while also acknowledging the complexity and evolution of his thought over time.

Israel has just concluded its Memorial Day, a day of mourning fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism. Then with a special ceremony they began their Independence Day, a day of rejoicing over becoming a nation in 1948. Israel now celebrates 78 years as a nation. All the while enemies still have the goal of wiping Israel off the face of the earth. Tension remains high as the official deadline for the ceasefire with Iran approaches conclusion. A delegation from the United States has had their trip postponed as Pakistan has made known their uncertainty to attend. President Trump was asked whether or not he would resume bombing, to which he replied, "Well, I expect to be bombing, because I think that's a better attitude to go in with." On another front, a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will soon conclude. Israel has accused Hezbollah of a "blatant" ceasefire violation. Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked.
