RECENT MSAT MEETING! "God on the Internet?" October 25, 2024 @ Richland ARP Church 7PM
You can link to a livestream of this presentation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yq_zIJMWP4on YT We all know that the internet is mostly about getting "clicks," right? Think of all the queries being made by people online, seeking to answer religious and philosophical questions about the existence of God. Who is providing this information and are they honestly weighing the merits of legitimate arguments that have existed for generations long before computer technology? Or is there a new kind of religion being constructed in our own day by the hive mind of Artificial Intelligence? Do websites actually present the compelling arguments that are satisfying for intellectual pursuit, or are we being subjected to the cloudiness of "buzzfeed" websites only interested in clicks rather than clarity? We will consult a few websites and engage in an open conversation intended to equip attendees to determine if the internet is capable of delivering the goods on God! Bring a friend. Refreshments served.
History has shown that religious movements have an incalculable impact upon the social and political environment influencing the nations of the world. When one examines the history of the islands commonly referred to as the "United Kingdom" (which it certainly wasn't at the time of the Protestant Reformation!) we not only see the convictions of influential thought leaders, but we also begin to uncover the seeds that will be planted in the establishment of the United States of America (which also seems like it isn't today!). Who were the key players in England, Scotland, and Ireland that marked the annals of history, priming the pump for reformation in Britain and immigration to the American Colonies? What influential convictions were derived from the Scriptures that still impact our understanding of what rightly constitutes a properly ordered church and state today? We invite your presence and input as we enjoy a presentation on this expansive topic by the Rev. Tim Phillips of Brighton ARP Church, meeting on the campus of Richland ARP Church in Rosemark, TN. (7-9PM - refreshments served!)
PAST MSAT MEETING! "Tour of Ancient Greece" April 26, 2024 @ Richland ARP Church 7PM
In early 2024, Rev. Kent Moorlach and his daughter, Faith, embarked on an expedition that led them along "the very footsteps" of the Apostle Paul. As the Book of Acts is another document highlighting the people, places, and practices of history, our "tour-guides" will take you to these ancient locations as they are situated today in order to expound upon the Biblical texts and the historic realities of the church's early growth in Greece. Locations to be highlighted: Neaopolis, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, and more... Please RSVP at our online sites, or just below. Thank you!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED OUR... Mid-South Apologetics Team Conference "Questions of Faith" Conference February 24, 25, 26, 2023 Find below a host of resources and links to presentations...
MAG welcomes radio host and pod-cast producer, Shane Rosenthal, to a weekend conference in Memphis, TN, to discuss the appropriate need for "skeptical inquiry" regarding the Christian faith. This event will be ideal for those who are both new to, or are thinking about becoming, a follower of Jesus Christ.
Our Friday to Sunday presentations will also include "break-out" presentations that will focus on specific questions people have about the Bible, along with strategies for understaning broad categories of the Christian worldview and convictions utilized everyday even among cultures that do not even think themselves, "Christian."
Be sure to listen to an episode of "The Humble Skeptic" podcast, and then come to our conference with all your questions that will be humbly addressed.
