AI Evangelism: Using Today’s Technology to Proclaim Timeless Truth
Have you ever wondered if Artificial Intelligence (AI) can truly deliver the Gospel? As we delve into this thought-provoking topic, we’ll uncover how AI has the potential to reach diverse audiences and adapt to different cultures while navigating challenges like depersonalization and potential inaccuracies.
The Depths of God’s Love
Have you ever stood under a canopy of stars and considered how vast the universe is? Our finite minds simply cannot grasp the concept of the infinite or the eternal, much less our place in it all. In our latest Acres of Hope Podcast episode, we delve into Ephesians 3:14-21, where we explore the theme of God’s boundless love and its transformative power. This sermon takes us on a journey to understand the unfathomable depths of God’s love and how…
Beauty for Ashes
Have you ever felt like your life was in ruins? Like everything you hoped for was turned into ashes? You are not alone. God has a plan to restore you and give you beauty for ashes. In this episode of Acres of Hope, we will explore how God can transform our pain into purpose, our sorrow into joy, and our despair into hope. God’s promise of beauty for ashes is not just a poetic metaphor. It is a reality that…
God Will Calm All Your Fears
Fear is a natural human emotion, necessary at times for survival, but if we are not careful, it can rule over us, affecting the decisions we make, the relationships we keep, and God’s calling upon our lives. The Bible tells us over and over again “do not fear.” But is it really that easy? Thankfully, we don’t have to battle fear in our own strength. God has promised us so much more if we will just place our faith in…

AI Evangelism Day 3 - "Balance and Integrity"
“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” - Hebrews 10:24 (NLT)
In our exploration of AI in evangelism, we encounter a delicate balance between leveraging modern tools and upholding the integrity of the Gospel message. Much like the Apostle Paul’s approach of adapting his message to different audiences, we, too, must tailor our communication to reach diverse groups effectively while remaining rooted in the core principles of our faith.

As today was Testimony Sunday, there was no sermon this morning. Instead, here is a special episode of the Acres of Hope Podcast entitled "AI Evangelism: Using Today's Technology to Deliver Timeless Truth."
Fun fact: The sermon was generated by AI based upon my initial input and subject to my final review/editing, the audio was rendered through a text-to-speech tool, and the title, description, and accompanying graphic were also developed with the assistance of AI.
Controversial? Yes! But let these things serve as practical sermon illustrations for the central message found within. Listen and consider whether or not AI may be a helpful tool to deliver a timeless message.
Comments are welcome and encouraged. Please be respectful of others' views. :-)
Love in Christ,
