Can I Still Believe the Creation Story?

In this sermon, Pastor Brennan dives deep into the ongoing conversation between faith and science, focusing on the phenomenon of deconstruction within the Christian community. He discusses the doubts that many believers face, exemplified by the journey of YouTube stars Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, who transitioned from devoted missionaries to prominent entertainers and, eventually, to a state of spiritual deconstruction.

Pastor Brennan explores the foundational questions surrounding the origins of the universe, comparing the biblical creation account with the Big Bang Theory and naturalistic evolution. He emphasizes the importance of understanding different genres within the Bible to correctly interpret the creation narrative. The sermon culminates in a powerful reminder of the "why" behind creation, pointing to the eternal, loving God who invites us into His community through Jesus Christ.

Join us as we journey down the river of doubt, seeking to understand our faith more deeply and learning how to doubt well within the context of a supportive Christian community. Whether you subscribe to a young earth or an old earth perspective, Pastor Brennan encourages us all to hold our views with humility and to remain steadfast in our trust in God's word and His ultimate plan for creation.
