About this sermon
Join us for a thought-provoking journey as we delve into the profound question of why evil exists if God is both all-powerful and wholly good. Using a personal childhood story and biblical parables, this video explores the concept of free will and the cosmic conflict between good and evil. Learn how an enemy, identified as the devil, sows seeds of evil in a world created good, and why God allows this evil to coexist temporarily with good. Discover insights from both scripture and philosophical perspectives on the problem of evil and the eventual triumph of good. 00:00 Childhood Memories at Grandma's House 00:16 The Broken Window Incident 01:00 The Confession and the Hero 01:12 Reflecting on the Past 01:31 Questioning God's Role in Evil 02:03 The Concept of Free Will 03:20 The Cosmic Conflict Framework 03:34 The Parable of the Good Seed and Tares 04:31 The Enemy's Role in Evil 05:56 The Cosmic War and Hope 07:50 Choosing Your Kingdom
