How old is the Earth? Did God create it in 7 literal days? How long have humans been on the planet? Were Adam and Eve real people? Is macro evolution true? Are the answers to these questions crucial to the truth of the bible?  . . .Well we’ve been here before a few weeks ago…but in this epsiode we revisit these questions with Andrew Snowdon. Andrew is the leader of Canberra friends of Creation Ministries International and holds fast to a literal interpretation of Genesis. He joins us to discuss his view on all these questions and more.

The one factor that distinguishes Christianity from all other religions on the planet is Grace. All other religions promote works as the way to heaven, peace, nirvana…whatever. Christianity is unique in that we are sinners “saved by grace through faith, and it is not our own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” - Ephesians 2:8. So what is grace? How does Christianity define it? How do we receive grace? Is there some ‘work’ we still need to do? Is there a limit to God’s grace? In this episode the Rev. Ian Powell looks at all these questions and more as we delve into the defining feature of the world’s largest religion and through it encounter a God more loving and forgiving than we could possibly imagine.

Why is marriage important? Are we not meant to ‘be alone’? What does Jesus say about marriage? In this episode the Rev. Ian Powell discusses marriage and all its deep and profound meaning from a biblical perspective.
