October 22, 2020 Sermon: The Immoral Argument for God
Paul Axton Preaches - In philosophy of religion and apologetics the moral and religious arguments for God proceed from the universality of religious beliefs or morality to the conclusion that God must exist. But is what we call God or the “moral law” in these arguments perhaps, nothing more than our own projection or the law of sin and death.

October 12, 2020 Sermon: Conversion of the Imagination
Paul Axton Preaches - Paul, in Ephesians, describes the Christian life as seeing everything differently, a seeing from the heart or waking up to the light. C. S.

September 28, 2020 Sermon: Apocalyptic Apologetics
Paul Axton Preaches - Deploying the three most famous apologies or trial defenses in history (the trial of Socrates, Jesus and Paul), the contrast between a defense grounded in this world order (law, reason, power) and one grounded in the Kingdom of God, is used to illustrate the apocalyptic (world disrupting) nature of a proper Christian apologetic.
