Rock Church - Why Do Bad Things Happen? - Part 1, Why Evil? by Miles McPherson

let's see your Bibles today let's see if I was today whoo that was weak one more time say 1 2 3 very good to see your pens lesson plan lesson plan let's turn to Genesis chapter one that's better Genesis chapter 1 first page of the whole Bible first chapter first book Genesis chapter 1 bless you bless you Genesis chapter 1 let me pray for you lord thank you so much that Genesis 1 is so easy to find and Lord we thank you that you know our pain you know that we're always gonna have some kind of issue in our life and you are so faithful gracious powerful to get us through all that we go through I pray for everybody listening whether they here in the sanctuary in Point Loma in North County watching online in their house in their car in their closet wherever you are right now God knows you he knows what you're going through he has answers for you and so I pray your heart is open I pray that you'd be thinking about people you can invite to watch even later today in the next five weeks after today and we pray that God would open your eyes to how much he loves you and the answers he has for you right in the midst of your pain in Jesus name Amen I want to read a few statistics for you to kind of illustrate at a very high level the pain in the world I don't think we need to have statistics to verify that we know stuff is messed up we had a tsunami recently Japan 18,000 people died and put that in perspective every year seventy-nine thousand people die from alcohol-related incidences every year five million people die from tobacco-related deaths every year 1.3 million babies are born in the womb every year over 90 thousand women are raped every year 200,000 Christians are killed for their faith every two-and-a-half minutes a Christian dies because they believe in Jesus everyday 1,500 people day adaiah cancer they're 27 million people who are victims of human trafficking sex trade every year in San Diego 377 people killed himself more than one a day and between May and June we had three murder suicides that we know about that were on the news and so you know we can go on and on forever about all the pain all of us in this room will have have had have and will have pain in our life can I get amen no one is exempt I was talking to a lady a few months ago trying to talk to about something she was going through and she said I didn't understand because I don't have any problems whatever we all have it and we will always always have it so the million-dollar question is if God is so loving and he is all loving God why are we all suffering if God is all-powerful why doesn't he remove the evil from the world if God created everything isn't he responsible for creating evil there are a lot of questions like that the devil will put in your head and get you to accuse God of something wrong and so we're gonna address a lot of those we're going to dress all the questions we can we're going also you actually will and then we could to put all them up online and give you the answers but we're gonna address these questions but what's most important that you understand is that God does love you and that they are very biblical very clear good answers to these questions and what's most important for you and me is how we respond to the answer because we're always going have problems now let's start at the beginning if we are going to accuse God or question God let's all agree that we have to acknowledge that there is a God who exists to accused so if you're gonna blame God we have to acknowledge that there is a God and we're gonna say that the God that we're going to address is the God of the Bible because we are going to address these questions to God every week we're gonna look at the different aspects of why bad things happen and what we can learn about it and we're gonna address God and say God what do you say about this and God is going to answer us we're going to address the God of the Bible so we're gonna look in the Bible and while God has to say about evil trials etc so let's look in Genesis chapter 1 the very very first page of the Bible and the very first point in your lesson plan says that God created everything God created it was good we're gonna start at the very beginning in the beginning God created things that were good now I'm gonna acknowledge that some of you don't believe that God create the heavens in the earth some of you believe in evolution fine but what we need and not that I agree with you but you have the right to do that but whether you agree in evolution or creation what we do know for a fact is that what the Bible says exist in the world does exist and when I'm gonna read is that there's land there's water there's fish there's birds and plants all of it has seed after its own kind and it was all there so we're gonna see all that that exists whether it comes from God or evolution according to you is is don't get hung up on that but the bomb was gonna say that God did it and what God is gonna tell us is that it was good and we're gonna see that it is ok so let's read chapter 1 Lucas says in verse 3 it says God said let there be light and there was light and God saw that the light was good and he divided the light from the darkness everyone say good light is a good thing can I get amen lights a good thing not only physical light photons that enable you to see around you but spiritual light the able you see spiritually what your life is about the light is good I'm gonna say good very good oh by the way light is only good if you're doing right things if you're doing bad things you want darkness so if you were creeping last night most likely it was in the dark just want to throw that in there for free it's kind of a little side no verse nine God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear and it was so on God called the dry land earth if you're from Philly or New York it's er F earth and he and he gathered them together gathered the waters together and he called them seas and God saw that it was good say good the land is good and the sea is good you go to the beach you're on this land looking at the sea and it's good can I get amen and by the way the land is not only what you put your feet on the land is full of nutrients from which you grow plants and fruits and vegetables to nourish you so when you eat fruits and vegetables they are drawing those nurse nutrients out of the dirt converting them to something you can eat process it's good it's not just dirt its life sorts of life look at look at verse 12 and the earth brought forth grass that the herb that yields seed according to its kind every one say according to its kind the tree that yields fruit whose seed in and of itself according to its kind and God saw that it was good say good very good you see pear trees apple trees blueberries raisins grass herbs blah blah blah blah blah we and they all have a seed after their own kind if they didn't have a seat after their own kind they wouldn't exist because they couldn't do multiply so everything in the earth all the plants and we're gonna see living animals too they all have a seat after their own kind matter of fact when you eat an apple the Apple is the ovary of the tree the pair is an ovary that's kind of nasty when you think about it it is kind of nasty because the seed is an ovary but that's how God made it he says and in that Apple you will only find an apple seed and that apple seed and what I call seed technology has the ability to go into the dirt die and draw out of the dirt all the nutrients and information to make an apple tree that will produce another Apple by the way it produces an apple tree that would produce another apple and the inside the Apple it has specific nutrients out of the ground that would feed you that's good and once a the good not only good it's a that's ingenious now I guess evolution could have done that but I don't know how anybody how nothing can make something so smart but that's just me look at verse 14 verse 14 said God said let the lights in the firm in the sky the heavens divide the day in the night let them be for signs and seasons for days and years we see that we see that stars tell us what time of the year it is they tell us what day and night and then if it's winter spring summer or fall they do that which is very ironic and very very masterfully designed and it's on time Sun comes up on time moon goes down on time stars come up in at the time of the year on time right this says verse 15 let them be for signs in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth and it was so God's let the greater light let that Beach he made two great lights the greater light to rule the day and unless is right like through the night and he made the stars also so he made the Sun in the moon in the stars that's what the God says we see it so it's there and then it says in verse 17 he set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth to rule over the day and over the night to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good and once a good is it nighttime good when you go to sleep and it's dark outside ain't that good and isn't in daytime good the morning some of y'all morning people and you like the birds and then the freshness of the sunrise and some of y'all late late creepers you like like to get up when the Sun straight up in the air like noontime and then and in the middle of the day is nice then the Sun sets this looks beautiful orange and the whole day is beautiful it's all good can I get any men say good that's what God did this is just telling you you wonder where I'm going just keep following me we're gonna get somewhere look her says in verse 20 God said let the waters are bound with the abundance of living creatures and let the birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens so God created the great sea creatures every living creature that moves with which the waters are bounded according to that kind every winged bird according to its kind and God saw that it was good say good the fish are good the whales the sharks the eel jellyfish and the birds that fly in the sky so you have fish this is how I look at it they fly through the water then you have birds that fly through the sky they don't crawl on the ground they both fly in different mediums that's all they are and they're good it's good they don't say good and they all have seeds after their own time if they don't have a seed after their own kind it couldn't multiply God made a system that they would multiply all by itself and it's beautiful if you ever go snorkeling it's a whole world go scuba diving it's a whole world Wow look at all that stuff but they don't need any intervention from men they're all by themselves it's fine beautiful little tiny fish the size of your fingernail they got 20 colors on them eight fins going all different ways eyes behind them eyes an atom it's just like freaky things in the water and God says watch that look at that look at that look at that it's like it's amazing God said it was good everyone say good God's like I don't know what your problem is I'm making everything that's good look at verse 26 God said let us make man in our image according to our likeness and let them have dominion or authority over the fish of the sea the birds of the air and over all the cattle and over all the earth over every creep that creeps on the earth God did not give man dominion over people he gave man dominion over the environment and here's what God told man I want you to take care of it I'm giving you the intelligence to take care of it I'm giving you the authority to take care of it I'm giving you the wisdom to take care of it take care of it and I want you to make sure it continues to do what I created it to do because I made it good don't mess it up that's what he said look at verse 31 God saw everything that he made everyone say everything say a thing God saw everything that he made and it was indeed what no no no it says very good it's a very good God said everything I made when you put it all together it's the palm here's what he said he said I made the earth the earth is gonna grow plants I made the sea they're also gonna grow plants and the plants on the earth and the sea are gonna both breathe out oxygen and all the living things that I'm gonna make it going to breathe in oxygen and all the living things I made it going to breathe out co2 and the plants are going to breathe in co2 huh you say that's good that's a genius saying genius and by the way most of the oxygen on the earth comes from the ocean the plants in the ocean two-thirds of the oceans covered by water and the valleys in the ocean the mountains in the ocean are bigger than ones you see on above the earth there's more land underneath the water in above the water there's more plants than eat the water in above the water and so most of the oxygen comes from the ocean by the way I'm gonna make God he says I'm gonna make seawater that saltwater it's gonna evaporate turn into clouds and then the clouds are going to distill and take the salt out and rain fresh water whew that's good say that's good so here's God making all this stuff as good as beautiful it's all perfect and he says I'm done what y'all trippin on I'm done that's good right there I like that that's the end of God's story then came man thus the problem look at number two in your notes God created man with the freedom to choose good and evil God created man with the freedom to choose good and evil chapter two very next chapter don't they look for don't turn to many pages chapter 2 verse 15 Genesis 1 is a chronological account of creation Genesis 2 is a narrative of the creation of man and woman it's like a zoom in lens it's to creation accounts same story just two angles verse 15 God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden attendant and keep it and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for in that day you will die now it keeps going where he created even they get married and that's where marriage came from from a man a woman but here's what God did God made all the heavens in the earth stars galaxies etc and by the way you could say well God didn't make it well it's there and it's just like God said and nothing can produce nothing so someone did it and it's very well organized masterfully ingeniously organized and masterfully ingeniously complex nothing can't make anything much less something complex so you have all this universe and there's earth and all these species of animals after their own kind she's like the Bible says and you have man made in God's image which means he was created to have a relationship with man with God and the ability to have a relationship with God and an interest to have a relationship with God he says I'm gonna make man and I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna put you in a garden and it's gonna be perfect it's gonna be very good you're gonna have plants you have full enough food to feed everybody you're gonna have the Sun the Moon stars the oceans that the mountains the deserts it's gonna be the bomb and all you gotta do is stay away from that tree hmm Adam guess what I'm gonna give you a woman and both y'all gonna be naked I'm gonna tell you to have babies and populate the earth that's a good deal can I get amen it don't get any better than this you got the whole planet you got all the animals you got all the oceans you got everything there's no death no evil no to see no lies it's been effect though and all you got to do to maintain all that is enjoy it and stay away from that tree is that a good deal it's that a good deal no y'all y'all ain't feelin me on this is that a good deal how many y'all are blessed beyond blessed right now okay you're blessed okay so so God has blessed you and so here Adam is in garden he gets Eva gets his wife and then they go do exactly what God told not to do they go do it exactly what God told him not to do look at chapter three the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made serving me in the devil the devil was an angel and the devil and his pride said I want to be like God God's and I ain't having it and kicked him out of heaven he came to earth and he said to the woman has God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree to garden and the woman said you may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden God has said we shall not eat nor shall we touch it and the devil said you will not die for God knows the day you eat your eyes will be open and you'll be like God where does evil come from started with the devil devil tempts man he convinces man that God is lying to you that I can get you better than what God can get you that if you do things your way you can be like God you can decide right and wrong on your own and you will have no consequence every time we rebel against God and every time we walk away from the life God has offered to us the blessed life God has offered to us we believe this line that we can get better than God offers us on our own and so Adam and Eve had a free choice to make they can choose to accept God and follow God or reject God and God says I'm gonna make you a free will creature I'm not going to make you a robot and make you love me because that's not love none of us would want to force anyone to love us can I get amen to that you want someone to choose love you want someone to say matter of fact you want someone to be attracted to you and say I think you're cute I think you're nice I think you just I want to spend time with you that is called love that's what love does I should say one of the things love does is voluntary God says I want to have that relationship with you I'm not gonna create robots to make them love me I want them to love me for who I am and I want to love them for who they are so man has a choice we all have a choice we have the ability to reject God except God and ammon Eve had the same choice they chose to reject God they chose evil they chose death they did exactly what God told him not to do and they got exactly what God told them they would get death look what it says in verse 6 says the woman saw the tree was good for food pleasant to the eyes a tree desirable to make one wise she took him his fruit and she ate she also gave to a husband and he ate with her the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew they would make it and they sold fig leaves together and made themselves coverings you remember when your kids were little and if you're little do you you're doing this or will do this all you have done this your kids are little they're in the other room and you can hear them playing and then all of a sudden it gets quiet it got quiet because they are doing something wrong or bad they know it they're in their plane and all of a sudden they know mommy said don't go over there into that drawer so as they go close to that drawer they get quiet because they know they're doing something wrong and then they open the drawer because they know they're doing something wrong why because they have a conscience and they remember what mommy said he is Adam and Eve God said you can do anything you want just don't go by that tree soon they go by the train soon as they do what God told them to do guess what they realized we blew it and they realized they were naked now why didn't they realize they were naked before that some people believed that they were covered in light and when they spiritually died the light left and they realized look at my body either way they knew when they sinned something changed they spiritually died God's relationship was severed from them God gave man the freedom to choose good and evil man chose evil remember the Bible says and we saw so in Genesis chapter 1 that every fruit and every vegetable makes a has a seed in of itself after its own kind apples make apples blueberries make blueberries oranges make oranges polar bears make polar bears bees make these sinners make sinners a man Eve sin and they have produced sinners ever since then thus here we are sinners number 2 and you know it says God created us with the freedom to choose and man chose evil evil is our intent to a rebel against God the world is full of God rubella selfish people one of the questions is is well if God is that there's evil in the world then God must be evil or God is not all loving raise your hand if you are blessed if God is evil whose blessing you here's a trip we're blaming gone and talking all this trash to God accusing him he's not fair he's not this and at the same time we're enjoying the very blessings he gives us but who's giving you those blessings God is not fair God is not fair if God was fair if God was fair Jesus would have stayed in heaven said I ain't going down to die for that sin that's not fair what did I do let them die for their own sin so whatever trial you're dealing with as horrible as it may be our sin deserves death the fact that was still alive means that God's grace is on our life I went to the hospital the other day two days ago to visit a man who was paralyzed from the neck down he moves right on you just play basketball be a basketball coach and now he can barely talk just move his lips just move his lips and he accepted the Lord in the hospital he sitting there just mum just barely move his lips smiling as horrible as that is and I told this I said you know what you're gonna get a new body it's gonna be the bomb it's used to play basketball before it's gonna be able to do stuff better than that Oh our pain one day is going to be gone but if we really got what we deserved we wouldn't even have the opportunity to say god I'm sorry if we got what we deserved if God was fair but God is righteous he's more than fair he's benevolent evil comes from the heart of man I was willing to ride along the other day a week ago in City Heights right in San Diego with a police officer for three a couple of three hours call after call after call evil evil evil stories of rape stories of fighting the stories of drugs I mean everything you can imagine it's cops it was real cops never once that I see God doing any of that stuff I saw people people making decisions to do what they want to do stabbed robbed cheat and steal and one night people we do stuff people say why if God is so loving why have so many people starving in the world that's exactly what God wants to do God says I gave you enough of everybody I gave you the I gave you whole planet matter of fact there is enough food produced not potentially produced but actually produced every right now every day to feed every person on the earth 3,000 calories a day and by the way most you don't eat 3,000 calories a day there's enough food produce how many of you have food in your house right now that's more food than your family can eat today okay let me say to know that let me say it another way y'all raise your hand how many you have enough food in your house to feed your family and then somebody else right and his people over here starving now I'm not saying you should take your food and go find that person necessarily but God is saying I gave you all enough food I gave you enough love I gave you enough wisdom I gave you enough grace I gave you enough organizational skills to make this planet beautiful and you messed it up and you blaming me you're blaming me why are countries oppressed because the people who lead the countries oppress them they ripped him off why so many you out of jobs because some people messed up and they knew what they were doing and he messed it up and God was like I didn't tell him to do that I didn't tell him do that I made everything good and I gave you everything you needed matter of fact I made my love and wisdom available to you why is it that after the tragedy happens when you come pray to me it's too late why don't you pray to me before excuse me number three in your nose excuse me thank you excuse me number three man rebelled against God and chose evil which leads to death man rebelled against God and chose evil which leads to death you know how God can eliminate evil from the earth is to eliminate the freedom of man to choose it God is not gonna make robots you and I wouldn't want to have relationships with robots and the only way God can the possibility of evil is - every time we're gonna make a decision he gets in the way removing our freedom but he's going to eliminate evil one way or another and one of the ways he's gonna do it is that in the end when he returns he's gonna take all the people who decided to follow him voluntarily and say Lord I want to love you I give my life to you they're gonna go to a place where there's no evil and the Bible calls that place heaven where the Bible says he's gonna wipe away our tears and walk with us and have a relationship with us and at the same time all the people who chose and choose to say Lord I don't like your plan he said okay then you can go to a place where there is no sign of me no remnant of me and the Bible calls that place hell with his weeping and gnashing of teeth and is you cannot find God you will not be able to find anything that comes close to God you have that choice you have the free choice you can do what you want and you might say well why is he doing today cuz he's patient I don't want him to come back today personally but it's not me because of me not my agenda but I know some people Jesus come back today well if he came back today the person who could have gotta say tomorrow won't get saved now there's gonna come a day when he comes back and it's gonna be the clocks gonna be over and until then we need to work really hard right we need to work really hard and go help as many people as we can before he does come back so they don't end up in that place call hell where there's going to be no remnant of the goodness of God it's gonna be all pain and evil-looking number 4 in your notes than before man has the freedom to trust God the goddess - our trials just as you and I have the freedom to do evil we also had the freedom to trust God and to say God 1 I want you to help me carry my burden - I want you to help me carry the burden of someone else one of the best ways to get rid of a problem is to get a bigger problem and sometimes that bigger problem is somebody else's problem go help somebody else go find somebody in your life who is struggling with something that you can encourage one of the ways God uses the evil in our life that comes upon us is to teach us lessons that we can help with people who are going to go through what we go through there's no temptation or no burden that's not common to man in other words whatever you've been through there's been a whole lot of people have been through it and as God gets you through he's gonna say now I want you to go help that person I want you to go help that person because the greatest evil is a rejection of God and the rejection of man and the hate towards man that's the greatest evil we all get distracted whoa look through tsunami 18,000 people died 18,000 people believe me that's a lot of people that's a lot of families who are hurting but five million people a year a year every year died from cigarettes and in the year 2030 it'll be 8 million people a year 8 million every year yeah we don't say anything about it there was a look at that look at that and we're missing the bigger picture but we need to understand is that God you have given us the opportunity to follow you and trust you in the midst of our pain and to rely on you in the midst of our pain and to receive from you comfort in the midst of our pain and it takes eventually take that comfort and go help other people and instead of me being focus on what I don't have why I didn't get this or didn't get that instead of me being at times at times very selfish remember bad things happen the bad things that happened we categorized as bad because they're not what we want but who you decide that what you want is what's right believe me tragedy is one thing pettiness is another I didn't get that range I didn't get the man or there won't man I didn't get the call I didn't get the new shoes I didn't get this I don't get that oh please maybe what you're asking for would have ruined you and God has so many times prevented us from getting so I remember when I got drafted by the charge at the Los Angeles Rams and got cut and I was in my hotel room twenty-two years old I should be on the team I'm good enough crying like a little baby god I'm sure God was like oh whatever I just should have you know two months later I came to play for the charges we went to the playoffs the Rams won like one game in college I didn't get a scholarship to go to college I went this very small Division three school had no scholarship had a walk-on thought I was better than that we had 2,500 people in the school I met my wife there could've gone to somebody's else might have met another girl but I'm glad I meant the one I did God says you know what you you think you know everything no you need to trust me if you trust me you'll minimize the evil you do if you trust me you'll maximize the evil you can minister to in other people's lives there are some of you right now you're going through something very very big you like well is God gonna fix it the first thing you need to do is make sure your life is in God's hands to make sure you are taking that burden saying god I don't understand everything and let me tell you you never will you may understand more but you never will understand everything but God what I do know is that you are God and I'm gonna surrender my pain to you I'm gonna surrender my burden to you and I'm gonna trust you today and then I'm gonna trust you tomorrow and I'm gonna let you figure it all out because it's way above my pay grade that's what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna realize that you have blessed me with a whole lot of stuff I remember when I was young my wife and I would go to party you know you leave the house at 10:30 to go out and to the club and you go out you know one two o'clock you're out there doing your day Hey and now I don't like 9:15 you're winding it on down you know yeah we just sit there in the couch put a blanket over our legs and just get a little whoa oh man that was like that was good right there that was it I'm good I'm good it's like listen simplify simplify you don't need all that stuff you worry about all this you started talking about this gods wrong God this way it's way above your hand just say today God here's my problems here's my life I don't get it I want you to help me it's really simple like that god I had this giant Norma's problem I know it's way bigger than you could handle that's why you need me one's gonna go away I can't tell you and for some of you it may never go away until you die but I could tell you this God can get you through well let me correct that we're all gonna have some issue till we die we all will but God will get us through so it's all about for to pray lord thank you so much that you love us thank you so much that you know us and you do have a plan for us even our pain and thank you that you made and intended everything to be good we messed it up we continued to mess it up but what we can do today is surrender our pain to you surrender our life to you surrender our burden to if you're ready to surrender your life to God your sin to God your burden to God oh you need prayer because you're going through something way too big for you to deal with pray this prayer with me in the privacy of your heart pray dear God please forgive me for my attitude please forgive me for blaming you please forgive me of my sin Jesus I surrender my life to you fill me with your Holy Spirit fill me with your power your encouragement your grace thank you God as the eyes are closed on a heads about a minute I'm gonna ask you to stand

not giving God advice he doesn't he you can tell me what you want but he doesn't need your opinion he knows everything can I get amen and by the way this applies to all of us but he does have a plan and he's ready for you he's not scratching his head thinking what am I going to do with this one that's not happening he is ready and and he wants to bless you more than you know god bless you and I will also tell you this if there's a little voice in your head or heart saying I don't deserve God's love I don't deserve to be blessed that is exactly right none of us do I don't we don't nobody does God doesn't bless us because we're righteous He loves us because he does and if you obey Him and do what he says he will bless you beyond you've already been blessed with beyond what you the fact is you're still alive the fact that you have people in your life that will reach out to you and encourage you is more than we deserve all we have to do is obey Him and let him take care of the rest but he will always out bless our what we deserve in our actions so we're gonna pray for you then we're gonna walk you up this aisle and again I'm gonna ask all y'all not to walk out on them okay not to start leaving as they walk out wanna cheer for them can we can I get a Amen on that and if someone saw us walking out next to you just let them go by but don't follow him please god bless you god bless you you're welcome you're welcome you're welcome god bless you god bless you Lord we are thank you for these people we thank you for being good to us and we thank you that you do have the answer to our problems and even though we don't know exactly what they are today we know that you are the answer it's not more money not a more job not another place to live it's you and if we have a relationship with you and we're dependent on you you will take care everything else thank you for being good to us in Jesus name Amen take a right turn and walk this way just walk this way
