Church says it will present Christianity truths through new sermon series

EDMOND — Fairview Baptist Church will begin a series called “Got Answers? Got Answers!” on Sept. 9.

The Rev. Paul Blair, senior pastor of the east Edmond church, 1230 N Sooner Road, said the series will incorporate a Sunday school curriculum called “Answers in Genesis,” plus sermons designed to answer questions about the Christian faith.

Blair said the series was created with people of all ages in mind, and he is hoping it will help compel adults to have faith-inspired discussions with children and youths in their families. “Unfortunately, so much of Christianity has gotten away from the hard truths of the Bible,” he said.

“We hope that with the foundation of this in Sunday school, they (families) will be able to talk about it all through the week.”

Blair said the sermons will be preached by him and the Rev. Dan Fisher, an ordained minister and former state legislator who now serves as Blair's co-pastor. He said it was important to him and Fisher that the series be able to spark and sustain the interest of young people because they would like to engage the younger generations that have fallen away from Christianity, according to some statistics.

Blair said he thinks the series will be of interest to young people because it will present Scripture as truth versus talking about the Bible as a series of stories. The preacher said Sunday school at Fairview begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 a.m. The church offers Bible study at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
