EAST Podcast: Creation Part 2 – Old Earth View
In Isaiah 40:25-26, we read:
“To whom then will you compare me,
That I should be like him?” Says the Holy One.
“Lift up your eyes on high and see:
Who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
Calling them all by name;
By the greatness of his might,
And because he is strong in power,
Not one is missing.”
In this passage, God himself affirms that he created all things. Indeed, throughout Scripture we see that God’s creation testifies to his glory and might. The fact that he created the universe out of nothing is a core tenet of Christianity. And yet, different believers have conflicting views on exactly when and how God created the universe.
EAST Podcast: Creation Part 1 – Young Earth View
The Bible repeatedly holds up a few key events as evidence of the divine power and sovereignty of God. One of these events is the creation of the world (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 33:6-9, Romans 1:20).
Throughout history, Christians have strongly affirmed that God created the world by his command, out of nothing. And indeed, affirming that God is the one who created all things is a core tenet of the Christian faith.
Recently though, debates have emerged over exactly how God created the world. Beginning with Darwin’s theory of evolution and continuing with modern scientific assertions that the earth is around 4.54 billion years old, Christians have been confronted with a continuous attempt by the scientific community to explain the origin and nature of the world on purely naturalistic terms, without any reference to God.
EAST Podcast Productions
How does one succinctly convey theological truths applicable to believers from different walks of life?
One method EAST has chosen to use is through the production and dissemination of podcasts.* The discussion format, length, and accessibility of each episode of podcast makes it easily available and digestible by followers of Christ.
Each series of EAST podcast seeks to address scriptural and theological understanding of a subject matter relevant to contemporary cultures or contexts. We bring in panel members who are knowledgeable in their fields of endeavour together with other lay leaders. Both are committed to appropriate application of theological truths. At other times, it may be a lively discussion between seasoned theologians but always with the understanding that it would be accessible and applicable to believers. Read more
EAST Express Tabao Theology Podcast: How to suffer well
How does one have hope amidst trials?
Suffering is experienced by every person who has ever lived or is living on earth. In this episode of EAST EXPRESS Tabao Theology podcast, Rev Jacob Li, Dr Lewis Winkler, and Ms Anj Pantaleon sought biblical and theological responses to the questions on suffering together with personal and practical responses to issues pertinent to Christians & non-Christians today.
The podcast brings us to examine how as Christians, we fall back on the example of Christ who suffered for the hope set before Him of God’s greater glory ahead. Moreover, we have the comfort of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us as we go through various challenges on earth.
