Why Do We Long for Meaning and Purpose?

About this sermon

Greg talks about the “continental divide” in worldviews, then he answers questions about a possible interpretation of Matthew 18:7–9, how to explain the sovereignty of God when a surgeon’s choice leads to someone’s death, and how a surgeon can find peace with that kind of responsibility. 0:00 Introduction 3:00 The continental divide in worldviews 28:34 What do you think about the idea that Matthew 18:7–9 is directed towards a community of believers rather than individuals, possibly even referring to wrong doctrine? 39:32 How do you explain the sovereignty of God in relation to the choices we make that have life-and-death consequences, such as when a girl dies on an operating table due to the actions of a surgeon, and how does a surgeon find hope and peace with that kind of responsibility? #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #Worldviews #Meaning #Purpose ––––– MENTIONED ON THE SHOW ––––– Reality Student Apologetics Conference: http://www.realityapologetics.com/ Greg on @TheDiaryOfACEO: https://www.str.org/w/watch-greg-koukl-on-the-diary-of-a-ceo ––––– CALL IN TO THE SHOW ––––– Have a question or comment?
