Why should we believe in the authenticity of Jesus and His claims?

Prophecy: Jesus fulfilled documented prophecies that were recorded centuries before His earthly ministry, including His place of birth and type of death.

The Empty Tomb: Had someone been able to produce a dead body of Jesus, it would have been exhibit A that He had not risen. However, the fact that His grave was empty after being guarded by Roman soldiers and sealed with a huge boulder demonstrated His deity. He rose on the third day, just like He said He would.

Eyewitness Accounts: After the resurrection, Jesus appeared to at least 500 people. He not only appeared to them, but also ate and conversed with them.

Miracles: The documentation of His miracles confirms that He was God. What kind of a person has complete power and authority over sickness, death, nature and spiritual forces? Only God.

Transformed Lives: The disciples who had witnessed the execution of their leader went into hiding, fearing for their lives, but something happened that so transformed them that they were willing to risk everything to spread the news that He was risen. What would cause such a paradigm shift? Seeing the resurrected Jesus! Think about it—the disciples believed that the Message was worth dying for and now, 2000 years later, people’s lives are still being transformed by the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

He Claimed to Be God: Unlike other religious and spiritual leaders, Jesus claimed to be God, the Messiah. Furthermore, He also had the supernatural miracles and powers to back up the claim. See Matthew 26:63-64 and John 14:6.

A Living Lord: Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. We can have a personal relationship with Him today by seeking His forgiveness of our sins and by placing our trust in Him to rescue us from our wrongs that separate us from God.

Ecclesiastes: The Personal Journal of Solomon

(co-authored commentary with Dr. Darryl DelHousaye)

Ecclesiastes is a non-linear, authentic, down-to-earth, and at times disturbing book of the Bible. Although initially penned approximately three thousand years ago, it could easily pass as the latest work by some trendy postmodern or Gen-X author. It is philosophical and yet, practical. Sacred, but raw. While a very spiritual book, it is most definitely not your typical religious book nor does it fit the stylistic mold of a systematic theologian. (All proceeds go to Phoenix Seminary).

Postmodernism: What You Should Know and Do About It

Like most people, when I first heard about postmodernism, I thought it was absolutely the most ridiculous and ludicrous worldview I had ever encountered. Initially, it sounded like another meaningless mind game hatched by some intellectual types hidden away in an ivory tower. However, I quickly learned that postmodernism is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philosophical crises of our time and very indicative of the spiritual status of 21st Century North America. After discovering the implications of a postmodern worldview, I wanted to know what to do about it…fast.

UFOs: 12 Things Everyone Should Know

Everyone seems to be seeing UFOs today and even the U.S. government has released footage of what they’ve defined as Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). The enigma is what are they exactly? What would the implications of extraterrestrials visiting earth have for humanity, specifically Christianity. Are they a sign of the End Times. Does Christianity have an answer? Should the Christian community even bother to address the presumably preposterous yet pressing issue? What should a parent teach their child about aliens? How can our youth workers answer the E.T. questions of their teenage congregations? And how can you capably address this topic with your friends and family?
