Why Is Life So Unfair? - Part 1 of 2

Your dad probably told you, "Life isn't fair." And if he didn't, someone should have. We live in a state of simmering moral indignation. It's not merely that the world is an unjust place, but we expect a just God to balance the books. Yet He seems indifferent, at best, to the cries of the innocent, and the crimes of the wicked. We've arrived at one of the oldest questions man has struggled with: Why is Life so Unfair?

The Greatest Secret In The World - Part 2 of 2

God doesn't have to choose, to do good. If you and I even want to make an attempt at goodness, we have to decide, and then stick to our decision as the devil's flaming darts come our way. But God is good. It's as easy for Him to be kind as it is for us to be cranky. He is giving, we are selfish; those are our natures. Let's continue to explore this innate, overflowing goodness of God. Here's Jim to conclude his sermon, The Greatest Secret in the World.

The Greatest Secret In The World - Part 1 of 2

Today you'll learn the greatest secret in the world. Some days my job is even easier than usual. If I want to interest you in listening to this episode, all I have to do is read the sermon title, The Greatest Secret in the World. And we all want to know: What is that secret? Will we agree that it's the most significant piece of information known (or unknown) to humanity? And if this knowledge is so important, who's keeping us in the dark about it? Here's Jim with answers, on today's Right Start.

Why Don't I Do What I Know I Should? - Part 2 of 2

If you put your car in Drive and it goes backwards, something's wrong. On Friday we opened a sermon called Why Don't I Do What I Know I Should? ...and it deals with an issue that has frustrated every Christian all the way back to the Apostle Paul: If I know what is right, and I want to do what is right, why can't I do it? He cried, "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" Fortunately it's not a rhetorical question. Here's Jim in Romans 7.

Why Don't I Do What I Know I Should? - Part 1 of 2

My Morality account has been hacked! Please be aware that someone pretending to be me has been saying things I certainly wouldn't say, and doing things I would never do. But he looks like me and he sounds like me, and he lives inside my skin! In our series on the big questions of life, our next stop is in Romans 7 for a look at the dilemma that all Christians face: what to do about our dual nature? Or, as Jim puts it, Why Don't I Do What I Know I Should?

Is There A God? - Part 2 of 2

"[S]ince the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." - Romans 1:20. Yesterday we started to examine the question, Is There a God? And, as with our previous question, Why Do I Exist? Jim has 4 responses from the Word of God. Then we'll move on to the follow-up questions: If God exists, Where is He? and What's He up to?

Is There A God? - Part 1 of 2

God doesn't believe in atheists. We're here for Jim's sermon, Is There a God? as part of our series on the Big Questions called, I Wonder. And we'll see right away that we have overwhelming evidence for God's existence - the problem between Him and the disbeliever lies elsewhere. The giveaway is the hatred towards this "imaginary" Being. But before we're finished, Jim will acknowledge that the atheist has at least one thing right. We'll begin, as you may have guessed, in the first chapter of Romans.

Why Do I Exist? - Part 2 of 2

Even Christians sometimes struggle with "our purpose in life." If that's a familiar feeling, this is for you. Paul was talking to nonbelievers in Acts 17, but even believers can get a little "fuzzy" on these things sometimes. Yesterday Jim began to bring out 4 points from Paul's sermon at the Areopagus. The first reason for your existence is that God wanted you to exist. There's no stronger reason than that! Now we'll rewind a bit, to hear the rest of the list. You've joined us very early in our series I Wonder. Here's the second half of Pastor Jim's sermon, Why Do I Exist?

Why Do I Exist? - Part 1 of 2

Purpose: Don't leave home without it. If we're all living pointless lives in a random universe - as many try to tell us - why are humans so desperate to find our purpose? We seem to be wired in such a way that we need meaning. We're so hungry for it that we'll sometimes latch onto a false reason for existence. Today, Jim opens a new series on the fundamental questions of life, with Part 1 of a sermon called, Why do I Exist? He'll find four answers to that question, and we'll hear three of them now.

The Final Satisfaction

Jesus could say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" but we cannot. On His cross the Son of God suffered alone, except for a few friends who couldn't be of much comfort. We on our crosses may feel like we're alone - and the Enemy will try to intensify that feeling - but God is with us. We've asked some tough questions in this series, I Wonder. Some of the toughest have to do with human pain, and what it means to have a God who allows that to continue - for now. Jim will address the ultimate answer today. Here's Part 1 of The Final Satisfaction.
