The final of Zechariah’s series of night visions depicts the ultimate demise of national Israel’s favored status and the anticipated victory of the promised Christ.

The first three ‘Cs’ of Gospel-Centered Apologetics answers three questions;

1) Compatibility- How is this person’s worldview compatible with Christianity? There will be ways that it is, because all men are created in the image of God.

In the last two lectures Pastor Matt applied these questions to the two major worldviews we encounter in America; Evolutionary Naturalism and Religious Postmodernism. This week listen as Pastor Matt moves to the fourth ‘C’; Confirmation, where he demonstrates how Jesus and the apostles used the Scriptures and eye-witness testimony to ‘give evidence’ (Acts 17:2-3), and ‘persuaded’ (Acts 28:23-28), and ‘proved’ (Acts 17:31) that Jesus was the death conquering Christ and that Christianity was the truth.

The first half of Zechariah’s sixth night vision portrayed the flying scroll exposing the hidden sins of Israel.

Every person has a basic worldview, a ‘gospel,’ that gives their lives meaning and purpose. Each ‘gospel’ will answer the four major worldview questions;
