Life’s Big Questions: What’s Wrong With The World?
What’s wrong with the world? (Genesis 3:1-13)
The Christmas season is often a festive and busy time for most. Amidst the hustle and bustle, however, we may still be struggling with issues of life and wonder if there is lasting joy and hope. In this, the first of a series of messages on Life’s Big Questions, it seeks to address how the Bible speaks honestly about our struggles and also offers true hope and joy. This is why Christians can celebrate Christmas.
Hear from Elder Caleb Yap, Grace Baptist Church (GBC) as he addressed the topic on the most fundamental issue that is at the root of all problems faced by humanity through the ages. The big idea: We have dishonoured God and are hiding from Him, but He has hope for us still.
