A New York serial killer who signed taunting letters to the police, and a quiet civil servant tried for organising the murder of millions, both stories lead to the same uncomfortable question. This sermon opens a series on Romans and follows Paul’s diagnosis (Romans 1-3): people without the Bible and people with the Bible face the very same charge, because we keep putting ourselves where God belongs. The diagnosis is not pleasant, but without it the good news remains a pleasant slogan. Listen if you are willing to trade the question of what is wrong with the world for the question of what is wrong with you.
What Is Wrong with This World?
You've Got a Message
We live in a world filled with news, most of which adds nothing positive to our lives. It only stirs up anxiety and robs us of hope. Other news is fake news, which presents a distorted picture of reality and causes confusion. That is why we all need to hear this one true message about who we are, what our problem is, and what the solution is. In his Letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul has just such a message for us and answers our most important questions. This letter is the most complete explanation of the gospel-that is, the good news from God Himself.
