“The Problem of Science”

 These questions are based on the sermon preached on 5/25/25 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Psalm 19 and Romans 1:18-23

1.    What stood out to you from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2.    Was there a time in your life when you refused to believe in God or even consider the claims of Jesus because of your understanding of Science? Do you know someone currently like that? Have you had conversations with them about their issues with Christianity? If you are willing, please share your experiences.

3.    Pastor Chris made the point in the sermon on Sunday that “Everyone Has Faith”. Put it into your own words as to why that’s a true statement. What are examples today of people expressing “faith claims” even though they may not realize that’s what they are doing?

4.    In your opinion, what are some of the “non-religious” religions/faiths that are prevalent in our culture today? Remember, they may not be viewed as “faiths”, but ultimately that’s what they are. (Read Romans 1:18-23 for the Biblical support for this concept)

5.    What are the two “Books” that God has revealed Himself in? How do you experience God through reading and meditating on Scripture? How do you experience God through His creation?

6.    In your faith journey, have you experienced an anti-science or anti-intellectual attitude within a Church or among Christians? How would you describe that kind of mindset? Why would that be considered the “wrong” approach to Christian faith?

7.    Take some time to pray for people in your life whose eyes are still blinded to the beauty and reality of Jesus. Pray that God would open their eyes and hearts to Him.
