It was great to travel down to Selkirk Baptist Church in the Scottish Borders to speak at their morning service about Jesus and the Questions of our Age. We looked at the way the questions Christians are asked, and the objections we face are changing fast today. Hard evidential ‘truth-questions’ are asked less often than they once were; but questions such as Who am I? (identity), What am I for? (purpose) What am I worth? (value) and Can I make a difference? (Agency?) are increasingly common. The prologue to John’s gospel contains a lot of helpful material for answering these vital questions. The whole service is available in the video clip above – but the talk starts at 37 minutes in.
