After a brief hello and thank you, Pastor Bret McAtee discusses the importance of worldview thinking and how the masses are lulled into a false worldview. It is, then, the imperative for the Christian to recognize this, stay firm in the Scripture, and mock the false ridiculous view of the world.

From a recent sermon preached at Christ the King Reformed Church by Pastor McAtee:

Many will read passages like Galatians 3.28 to mean that all created distinctions are completely removed when one is in Christ. However this passage is talking about justification, which would follow that creative distinctions - as put in place by God Himself - remain in other contexts. Join us today as Pastor teaches us how grace restores nature.

Scripture text for this sermon:  Genesis 2:8-9, 15-17; 3:1-7, Romans 8:22-24
