In this week's message, Pastor Glenn tackles the complex topic of God, evil and suffering. He discusses how people use illustrations and questions to explain complex assumptions about God's attributes such as being good and powerful. While scientists do not know what existed before the Big Bang, the message delves into the classic question of why there is evil if God is good and all-powerful. Pastor Glenn acknowledges the impact of small events on human lives with the Butterfly Effect, leading to discussions of chaos theory and its unpredictable effects on the world.
He reminds listeners that accepting Jesus into their lives doesn't guarantee a perfect life, but it can dramatically change every aspect of life. He also notes that God loves all people and wants to create a perfect family through Christ. Even as people experience pain and suffering, we are reminded that Jesus became human and experienced human struggles. Jesus took on all the pain and suffering of the world and redeemed it on the cross.
Throughout the message, Pastor Glenn emphasizes the importance of inviting God into our pain and recognizing His ability to work the chaos of the world together for good. While the topic of suffering may be difficult to discuss in various settings, there are real answers and reasons that can help people hold on to hope.
Listen to this message to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of God, evil, and suffering, and how to approach these topics with gentleness and respect.
