INTRO: For some years now I have wanted to preach through Ephesians 2. I have covered chapter 1. I wanted to begin now, but I have decided to wait until we are in our new building. Some time ago my wife and I listened to Vodie Baucham's message, “The Supremacy of God.” In that message he expressed man's most basic questions as: Who am I? Why am I here? What is wrong with the world? And, how can what is wrong be made right? In the next few messages before the end of this year, I want to seek to answer these four basic questions.
Now, before I can find an answer to these major questions I must come to another conclusion and that is how did everything come into existence. The two major positions on this, since the days of Charles Darwin are, did we evolve or were we created? Today there are many good books and organizations that specifically study this question from a biblical perspective and many of you have listened to such teaching. Any person who exercises his or her God given abilities to think rationally, and looks at the facts that exist, MUST come to the conclusion that everything came into existence by creation. It is as the Bible so accurately says, “The fool who has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.'” |
