Chi Alpha @ Stanford

Last week Dr. William Lane Craig spoke on cam­pus about rea­sons to believe in God and in the res­ur­rec­tion of Jesus. Both lec­tures were sim­ply outstanding.

I was able to grab some time with Dr. Craig for a quick interview.

In this short clip (hosted by Google Video) , Dr. Craig explains how Chris­tians should go about han­dling the inevitable doubts that crop up from time to time.

Given his pow­er­ful and remark­ably per­sua­sive argu­ments for God’s exis­tence, the first part of his answer might sur­prise you.

Each week at Chi Alpha we record our mes­sages in video and in MP3 for­mat, and we also main­tain a ser­mon archive (which includes instruc­tions on receiv­ing our ser­mons as a pod­cast). If you’d like to come visit us next week, you can learn when and where we meet.

This week (4/5/2006) we talk about three vignettes from Matthew 9. In the sto­ries, the experts decide that Jesus is immoral (a blas­phe­mer), ridicu­lous (they laugh at him), and that there must be another expla­na­tion for his mir­a­cles (he is a pawn of Satan).

These are the same rea­sons that many mis­trust Jesus today–he is a ridicu­lous fig­ure of dubi­ous moral­ity and there is surely some other expla­na­tion for his pur­ported mir­a­cles. But in each story, a per­son or a small group of peo­ple demon­strated their faith by ask­ing Jesus for help and they learn that hehas the power to bring for­give­ness, health, life, and free­dom. He did it then and He can do it now.
