The Problem of God - The Problem of Hell and Exclusivity

Without a doubt this is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to people’s belief in God. If he’s a good God, if he loves everyone, why on earth is there a hell? It seems to be that God is mean and spiteful, not loving and tender. Further, it seems that God is an exclusive, prejudiced, snob. If he makes the choice of who’s in and who’s out, what’s the point of life? (Calvinism, anyone?) This morning we will see that there is a logical necessity for a ‘place’ such as hell and that it is not incompatible in light of a good God. We may not like the answer, but it doesn’t mean that we can disregard it. Lastly, this places a premium each of us spreading the good news to people far from God.

The Problem of God - The Problem of Hypocrisy

Modern people contend that the reason they don’t believe that God exist is because of the behavior of Christians. The miss-alignment of what a Christian says and how they live is proof there is not God. The essence of the Christian faith is Jesus, not how people attempt to follow him. The church is filled with not so perfect people.

The Problem of God - The Problem of Science

The problem of science is a modern problem. The ancients didn’t see God and science as incompatible. However, today we have made the error of attempting to dissect and understand a metaphysical/spiritual being, God, in physical terms. By doing this we aren’t doing justice to either philosophy or science. This morning we will be placing these categories in their proper place and seeing how science actually points toward the very existence of a good God.

The Problem of God - The Problem of Evil and Suffering

This is a question many ask, especially when we see a world filled with evil and suffering. But it’s not only a world issue, we have our own evil and pain to deal with. The problem of evil is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to faith. Why would a loving God allow it? We will discover the Bible deals directly with this problem.

The Problem of God - The Problem of the Bible

We must examine the legitimacy of the bible. Many would approach this ancient text with a mindset that believes it’s irrelevant, outdates and cannot be trusted. The truth is, Bible is necessary to show us the character of God and the plan of salvation. Christian faith requires belief in the bible

The Problem of God - The Problem of God's Existence

In order to prove the existence of God we must examine the evidence of God. It’s where we need to start. We will explore the proof of God by exploring two things. Anthropology: the study of man and morality. Cosmology: the universe shows us that God existed and created all things.

Philippians - Right Side Up "The Secret to right side up"

Circumstances change. Life is constantly shifting and flowing. There are times when it’s great and we think it can’t get any better and then there are times when it feels like it’s impossible to take the next step. Paul gives the secret to right side up and it’s found in Jesus. He gives us the strength to navigate the uncertainty of life.
