TRANSCRIPT

According to a recent survey conducted by Ligonier Ministries, among “evangelicals” in the U.S: 31% say science disproves the Bible. 33% say gender is a choice. 38% say Jesus was not God. 62 % say God accepts all religions. 62% say the Holy Spirit is the “force.” 66% say people are good by nature. 75% say God first created Jesus. I think the flashing lights have blinded these people’s eyes to the truth of God’s Holy Word, the fog machines have affected their brains, and the pastor’s skinny jeans may be a bit too tight. Any scientific conclusion that contradicts what is clearly taught in the Scriptures must be rejected, and since the virgin birth is outside the natural realm, it is also outside the purview of science, for the laws of science cannot explain the supernatural. The Bible says Jesus was born of a virgin, and since His supernatural birth is foundational to the Christian faith, TO BE SAVED, we must believe in it We are deeply grateful for your continued support and for sharing these sermon study guides with those you think might be interested.

The first chapters of the gospels of Matthew and Luke summarize the historical events regarding the immaculate conception of Christ.

The first two articles of the Apostle’s Creed affirm the deity of God the Father and God the Son.

Three reasons why Christians must believe in the Lord’s immaculate conception:
