Encounter God's TruthStillness Before the Lord—Contentment in ChristEach of our lives tells a unique story—a painting on a canvas, if you will—which clearly displays, to all who view it, the work of God. By faith we also understand it to teach that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end!This week on "Encounter God's Truth" we hear the conclusion to our series, "Basic Biblical Distinctions," which was first taught before a Bible conference several years ago.Mrs. Norma Whitcomb finishes her talk on "Stillness Before the Lord" by speaking about "Contentment in Christ." She shared some candid refl...2025-07-2925 minEncounter God's TruthStillness Before the Lord—The Master ArtistWhat colors is God painting on your canvas? Have you ever considered your life to be the work of "The Master Artist"? Mrs. Norma Whitcomb will share her heart in that regard, beginning this week on "Encounter God's Truth."This is the final topic in our series, "Basic Biblical Distinctions." It was initially intended for the ladies attending a Bible conference at Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana, where Mrs. Whitcomb spoke alongside her husband.

The Collision Podcast07. JESUS BRIDGES THE GAPIn this episode, the team walks through John 3:16–17 with clarity and depth, examining how Jesus bridges the gap between a holy God and a broken world. They explore why his full humanity and divinity both matter—not just theologically, but practically—in how we understand salvation, teach the gospel, and disciple others.More than just a rescue from sin, this conversation reframes the gospel as an invitation into restored relationship and holistic renewal. Whether you’re preaching, leading a small group, or equipping students, this episode offers fresh language, honest reflection, and theological grounding to help you communic...2025-06-231h 24The Collision Podcast06. GOD IS JUSTWe talk a lot about grace, but grace means nothing without justice. In this episode, the Collision crew is joined by Mad Dog (aka Maddy - Collision student, turned staff) to unpack what the Bible says about God’s justice—why it matters, how it’s tied to love, and what it has to do with the gospel. From parenting analogies to courtroom illustrations to bungee cords and hot stoves, we wrestle with questions like...• Why can’t God just let sin slide?• Is fear of being a recipient of justice ever a good reason to follow Jesus...2025-06-091h 09The Collision Podcast05. YOU CAN'T SAVE YOURSELFYou don't have to clean yourself up before you come to Jesus (and you couldn't even if you tried). In this raw and hope-filled episode, Marcus Brandenburg joins us to unpack Romans 3: 23 and the life-changing truth that we cannot save ourselves. From growing up in a broken home to serving in the military to now working at a nationwide student ministry, Marcus shares how God pursued him through it all. His story is a living picture of grace—of what it means to be met in our mess and transformed by a Savior who does all the saving. If yo...2025-05-301h 19Encounter God's TruthThe Conversion of an Evolutionist (Part 1)Can you imagine Dr. John Whitcomb—one of the founders of the modern Biblical creation movement—ever being an evolutionist?Well, he was at one time—many years ago—an unconverted evolutionist! But God had a different plan, and our speaker begins to unfold that story today.On this edition of "Encounter God's Truth," we begin a four-part look at how God worked providentially in the life of our speaker—first to bring him to faith in Christ and then to give him a foundation for a lifetime of study, service and teaching of creationism and apolog...2025-05-1325 minEncounter God's TruthAlpha and Omega (Part 1)Author and Biblical scholar Dr. John Whitcomb offered words of hope and anticipation to help us press forward during spiritually challenging times in this message, which focuses on Christ as "Alpha and Omega."With assistance from host Wayne Shepherd, Dr. Whitcomb drew from the broad sweep of Scripture in this message—giving Biblical reasons to persevere in our service to the Lord until the day of His return. Dr. Whitcomb went all the way back to creation to establish this theme.This program truly embodies our mission on "Encounter God's Truth," which is to declare th...2025-03-0425 minEncounter God's TruthSigns of JudgmentWill there be cavemen in the future?Can you imagine a time when people will enter caves to escape the judgment of God? Dr. John Whitcomb described this scene from Isaiah 2, and we replay that classic message on this week's edition of "Encounter God's Truth."We are in the midst of a three-week overview of Bible prophecy, and today's message is one that we desperately need to hear.After the message, host Wayne Shepherd asked Dr. Whitcomb to advise listeners who might be wondering how to prepare for this coming time of tribulation.2025-02-1825 minEncounter God's TruthThe Importance of Biblical TheologyAs we are still beginning this New Year on "Encounter God's Truth," we take an in-depth look at "The Importance of Biblical Theology."This subject is sorely needed as we start 2025. Many are seriously concerned with the trends in our culture that are pulling us away from the standards of God's truth. How should we as Christians and churches respond to this situation?The amazing reality is that the Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration, anticipated such temptations and gave us the remedy for dealing with them.Dr. John Whitcomb gave us hope by...2025-01-1425 min
