Dundee’s Central Baptist Church played host to around 300 people on 3 November who gathered to consider how to share the gospel in our age of tough questions, at the ‘Confident Christianity’ Solas conference.
Jim Turrent, the pastor of Central Baptist, kicked proceedings off with a call for the church to embrace the biblical call to unashamed gospel proclamation. In a session entitled ‘How to talk about Jesus without sounding like an idiot’, Dr Andy Bannister led a crash-course in personal evangelism which was especially well received.
Poor science of atheism
Sharon Dirckx holds a PhD in brain-imaging, and took the atheist materialist world-view to task by arguing that their view of humanity as merely a physical entity doesn’t just clash with Christian belief, but is poor science. Andy Bannister’s second talk, ‘Am I matter, or do I matter?’, applied this further, exploring our creation in the image of God.
