Each week at Chi Alpha we record our messages in MP3 format, and we also maintain a sermon archive (which includes instructions on receiving our sermons as a podcast). This week our guest speaker, Dr. Earl Creps, talks about the peculiar afflictions of high-functioning people based on the story of the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18-30.

Each week at Chi Alpha we record our messages in MP3 format, and we also maintain a sermon archive (which includes instructions on receiving our sermons as a podcast). This week we prove that a penny is equal to a dollar:

$1.00 = 100c
$1.00 = (10c)^2
$1.00 = ($0.10)^2
$1.00 = $0.01

You don’t have to be able to identify a flaw in an argument to reject it. Sometimes it just fails to survive the laboratory of reality. It’s true of mathematical tricks and it’s true of broader philosophies. In Colossians 2:4-10, Paul explains how we can respond to fine-sounding arguments that ultimately hold no water.

P.S. If you’re dying to know what the flaw in the “proof” is, pay closer attention to the units of measurement. A penny and a penny squared are not the same thing.

Each week at Chi Alpha we record our messages in MP3 format, and we also maintain a sermon archive (which includes instructions on receiving our sermons as a podcast). This week we talk about a verse claiming that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, and to discover exactly what that means and why it matters we take a romp through quantum mechanics, idolatry, and the air in Los Angeles.

Each week at Chi Alpha we record our messages in MP3 format, and we also maintain a sermon archive (which includes instructions on receiving our sermons as a podcast). This week we hear from Stanford Law Prof Jeff Strnad. For what it’s worth, at least one site claims he’s one of the smartest law profs around.

He’s also a surprisingly good swimmer.

Anyway, in this message Jeff shares the story of how he somewhat surprisingly met Jesus and how that affects his life as a professor.

update: at Jeff’s request we’ve taken the message offline.
