Do We Need the Bible When We Have Science?
Science and faith aren't enemies—they reveal the same Creator. Pastor David Rose shows why only the Gospel answers life's deepest questions.
Science, Faith, and the Glory of God
Senior Pastor David Rose talks about the connection between science and faith. He shows how the heavens declare God’s glory, putting His craftsmanship on display. Science hasn’t replaced faith — instead, discoveries can deepen our wonder and worship of the Creator.
Pastor David encourages us to see both science and Scripture as ways to better understand God’s world. Science explains how things work; Scripture tells us why they matter. As you listen, we hope you’ll be drawn into a deeper relationship with God through His Word and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Key Takeaways
- The heavens point to the Maker of life. (Psalm 19:1-6)
- The word points to the Giver of new life. (Psalm 19:7-11)
- The Spirit leads to a holy life (Psalm 19:12-14)
Further Study
- David, gazing at the skies, saw creation declaring God’s glory (Psalm 19). Paul said creation leaves no one without excuse (Romans 1:20). This week, read Psalm 19 slowly. What specific aspects of creation does David highlight? How might you use creation’s testimony to start a Gospel conversation with someone wrestling with doubt?
- David calls God’s Word perfect, reviving the soul (Psalm 19:7). Jesus says His words are “spirit and life” (John 6:63). Compare Psalm 19:7–11 with worldly advice you’ve trusted before. Where did it lead? Where did God’s Word lead? Write down both. Ask: what does this reveal about whose voice I trust?
- David prized God’s Word more than gold or honey (Psalm 19:10). Jesus compared the Kingdom to a treasure worth losing everything for (Matthew 13:44). Prayerfully read Psalm 19:10. What earthly treasures subtly compete for your attention and affection? Name them. Pray for a heart that sees God’s Word as your true wealth.
- David pleads for cleansing from hidden faults (Psalm 19:12). John reminds us that if we confess, God is faithful to forgive (1 John 1:9). Ask God to search your heart (Psalm 139:23–24). Where has He exposed hidden sins recently? How does the Gospel—not guilt—meet you there with hope?
- David prays, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to You” (Psalm 19:14). Paul calls believers to think on what is true and pure (Philippians 4:8). Write out Psalm 19:14 and Philippians 4:8. How aligned are your thoughts and words with God’s standard? Choose a Scripture to memorize this week. Choose something that reorients your mind and encourages your soul.
The Gospel
If you have questions about what it means to be a Christian, we would love to talk with you about it.
Reach outCreation shouts that there is a Creator. Yet Psalm 19 shows us even more: God isn’t just powerful; He is personal. He wants a relationship with us.
The problem is clear: while the stars obey their Maker, we rebel. Psalm 19 reminds us we are guilty of both hidden and open sins. On our own, we can’t make ourselves right with a holy God.
That’s where Jesus comes in. The same God who spoke the galaxies into existence stepped into His creation. Jesus lived the perfect life we couldn’t, died to take the punishment we deserved, and rose again to offer new life.
When we admit our sin and trust in Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us — sealing us as God’s own.
Through Him, we receive:
- Forgiveness for hidden and willful sins
- A new heart that loves God’s Word
- The Holy Spirit to lead us in godly living
- A relationship with the Creator of the universe
This isn’t theory. It’s life. The God who spoke the stars into existence speaks life into dead hearts — offering hope, forgiveness, and a future. He invites you to know Him as your Rock and your Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
