Secret Church 4 – Session 4: How Does God Relate to Evil?

About this sermon

The mysteries of God may frequently appear to be far too unexplainable or contradictory to even attempt to understand. As we develop a greater desire to know God, we must recognize that the mysteries and transcendence of God can never be reduced to mere human understanding. However, regardless of this true fact, we must persist in our theological pursuits in order to know him deeper and more intimately. In this session of Secret Church 4, Pastor David Platt unpacks the mysteries of God to explain the assumed truths about God that we accept in faith. He navigates three prominent mysteries of God that are often frustrating to many Christians as these mysteries may seem contradictory to their knowledge of God’s character. As Pastor David Platt explains the Trinity, the Sovereign Will of God, and the Problem of Evil, we are able to recognize how these mysteries of God actually affirm his nature, rather than contradict his character.
