World Gone Wrong [Make It Make Sense pt. 1]

Gravetop Church

Main Idea: One very necessary key element to our faith is the fact that we believe there to be a creator to our world, but at the same time that there is a sense of perfection to life being able to exist, it is also accompanied by so much pain and chaos. Some of our biggest doubts and hesitations in our faith come down to the moments in which terrible things happen without explanation.

Today we are going to talk about our world and how it was made perfectly but was made broken. We are going to cover some key creation and world events and unpack different theories and explanations. We are also going to talk about the birth of sin and what the effects were to this world and the life inside it. And at the end, we are going to talk about the perspective of not everything happening for a reason as we cover the power of redemption.

This topic is so important because we must learn how to better give an explanation to what we believe in and why. This is one big topic of many that often goes unanswered and causes many people to abandon their faith unnecessarily. The bible, history and science gives ample evidence for us to dive into and can provide some answers to what many people have been wondering.

1. Creation Events

[IT TAKES MORE FAITH TO BELIEVE IN NOTHING THAN TO BELIEVE IN A CREATOR]

(Genesis 1:1-5)

The more that you try to find answers in the world without God, the more questions you end up having. But when you search for these same answers with the perception of a Creator, you end up getting closer and closer to a satisfying truth. Nature, science, history and archeology all point to intelligent design and the Bible offers supplemental explanations to the connection of these things to God as the Creator.

2. The Birth Of Death

[SIN ERODES AND DESTROYS EVERYTHING]

(Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 6:5-12; Romans 3:23-26)

Most people struggle with the concept of our world being created through intelligent design because of the fact of so many imperfections. Sayings like, “God doesn’t make mistakes” have come across like self-defeating arguments when faced with things like death, disease, disorders, pain, genocide, war and etc. Knowing that the world was made perfect but not impenetrable is key to understanding how our world works and how it is affected by sin.

3. Redemption Of Chaos

[NOT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON]

(James 1:13; John 3:16-17)
