Sermon Notes

To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no
God.” – Psalm 14:1


THE EVIDENCE OF MOTION
For the universe to begin moving, something had to make it move. It
can’t start moving on its own. Therefore, God is the Initial Mover.


THE EVIDENCE OF CAUSE & EFFECT
Every known thing in the universe has a cause. To argue for the
spontaneous existence and beginning of the universe apart from God
means that the effect of the universe had no cause.


THE EVIDENCE OF EXISTENCE
Nothing that exists owes its existence to itself. To account for the fact
that the universe even exists means something must have created it.


THE EVIDENCE OF MORALITY
This argument is based on man’s sense of right and wrong, and our
inherent desire for justice.


THE EVIDENCE OF GRAND DESIGN
There is a very observable design and order to the universe.

“Our consciousness naturally lends itself to the reality of a moral law.
There are innate “rights and wrongs” that all humans instinctively
understand. There is no plausible explanation for the source of this
moral law apart from God.” – C.S. Lewis


THE EVIDENCE OF PURPOSE
Humans have an innate desire for meaning and purpose.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put
eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God
has done from the beginning to the end. – Ecclesiastes 3:11
