From Sickness to Certainty: Medical Truth and Apologetics
Saturday July 18, 2026 9:00am - 9:45am CDT
How might a person move from health and disease to the existence of objective truth? Jesus’ claim you can know the truth applies to multiple disciplines – including medicine and science (John 8:32). Belief is contingent on objective truth and since truth is revealed, known, and applied, and since fundamental philosophical first principles can be known, medicine and science can lead one to believe in objective truth.

Two for One: Wise Words from the Proverbs -- Do Not Envy the Oppressor, and Choose None of His Ways (3:31)
Saturday July 18, 2026 9:00am - 9:45am CDT
Why are power, popularity, and dominance so tempting—even when we know better? This session slows down one sharp proverb to explore how envy quietly shapes our choices and character. We will connect ancient wisdom to modern pressures (status, clout, winning at all costs) and invite teens to imagine a different path: one formed by trust in the Lord rather than imitation of the loudest or strongest voices.
