  • Notes: 

    If God is good, why is there evil?


    Intellectual truth explains BUT won’t remove emotional pain


    Disliking an answer doesn’t make it any less true


    Genuine love requires the freedom of choice

    Freedom of choice demands the dignity of consequence


    Love’s freedom and dignity make evil a possible outcome


    Why do we choose wrong even when our personal history proves it harms ourselves and others?


    Getting the “essentials” of faith wrong sets us up to fail at what matters most in life


    God is Completely Good

    Humanity is Fatally Flawed
    Jesus is Essential
    Eternal Life is Relational not Religious


    Why do we keep choosing wrong despite history’s proof that it always ends badly?

    - Matthew 15:18-20


    …for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

    - Romans 3:23


    …they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

    - Matthew 19:25-26


    For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    - Ephesians 2:8-9


    Humanity is Fatally Flawed - All of humanity has a spiritual disease that leads to death that we cannot cure by ourselves


    Fatally Flawed:

    Born with a spiritual disease
    Unavoidably “miss-the-mark” (sins)
    Demand hypocritical justice


    Truthfully admitting our problem isn’t about shame or guilt – It’s an honesty that allows for healing
