A message from the series “Key Questions.” In this sermon, we explore the compelling reasons for believing in a Creator, drawing from both the external world and internal human experience. Using Hebrews 11:1-6 and Acts 17:22-27 as the foundation, the sermon discusses how the fine-tuning of the universe, the complexity of life, and the presence of order in creation all point to an intelligent Designer. Key ideas include the “Teleological Argument,” which compares the universe to a finely crafted watch, and the “Anthropic Principle,” which suggests that life-supporting conditions on Earth are too precise to be mere accidents.

The sermon also delves into the intricate design found in human DNA, often compared to a complex language, further pointing to an intelligent origin. Additionally, the sermon highlights that the purpose of life is not just to receive from God, but to know Him. It contrasts the shallow idols people worship with the deep, fulfilling relationship with the Creator. Ultimately, it underscores that creation bears witness to the hope of restoration found in Jesus Christ.

A message from the series “Key Questions.” Pastor Christian introduces a five-week series entitled “Key Questions” aimed at equipping believers to articulate their faith, covering topics such as God’s existence, purpose, and the relevance of absolutes in morality amid modern relativism.

A message from the series “Upside Down.” Pastor Christians continues to walk through the book of Acts. The message begins by exploring the profound impact the gospel had on the Jewish people. Paul presents the core of the gospel: Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, was rejected by men but is chosen and precious to God, and serves as the cornerstone of salvation (1 Peter 2:4-8). The gospel reveals that we are sinful but loved, unrighteous but brought close to God, and accepted by faith in Christ, not by our own works. Paul emphasizes that Jesus is not only our Savior but also our Leader and King, inviting both Jews and Gentiles to place their trust in Him.

The second part of the sermon shifts to Paul’s ministry in Athens, where he is provoked in his spirit by the idols around him. Paul engages in conversations with the Greek philosophers, meeting them where they are in their pursuit of wisdom. His message challenges their worldview and introduces them to the true God revealed through Jesus Christ. Paul’s example encourages believers to feel provoked by the spiritual needs around them, engage in thoughtful conversations about faith, and be rooted in their beliefs in a way that leads them to make a firm decision to follow Christ.

The sermon concludes by urging believers to reflect on the gospel’s message of grace and to prepare for the upcoming sermon series on foundational aspects of faith, such as belief in God, creation, scripture, Jesus, and the resurrection.
