Pete's Bible Readings - Psalm 103 through 105

Love's Long Journey #04

According to the Bible, there’s only one human race. And science finally caught up with this!

You see, Darwin taught there were multiple races and some were more evolved than others. While he didn’t invent racism, he helped popularize it by giving a supposedly scientific justification.

But when researchers mapped the human genome, they declared that we’re all one race. Between any two people there’s only about a .1 percent genetic difference. And only a fraction of that percentage is made up of the so-called “racial” differences.

Science confirms what the Bible teaches. We’re one race, the human race.

Death and taxes may be certain—but what about your purpose? Pastor Ben Young uses Jesus’ words in Matthew 16 and Soren Kierkegaard’s life framework to explore how we move from a life of pleasure-seeking or performance into something deeper: a life of authentic, tenacious faith. If you want to hear “Well done” at the end of your life, this message will help you live for what matters most.

God often works in ways we cannot see. Dr. Tony Evans explains how angels serve as part of God’s divine plan and reveals some of the ways they minister on behalf of His people.

Some stories in the Bible are deeply troubling. Do you ever wonder why stories like this are included in Scripture? Pastor Nick Gatzke returns to a troubling passage in Second Samuel, where the sins of one father passed down to the next generation with devastating consequences. We’re learning about God’s perfect justice and grace. 

Learn why chasing what others think, rather than what God says, leads to ruin.
