Why Would A Loving God Send People To Hell? (3 of 5)
Series: Questioning Christianity

Matthew 7:13-14
Questioning Christianity-Why would a loving God send people to Hell?
I want to welcome you back to week three of this sermon series I'm calling, "Questing Christianity." We live in a world that has a lot of questions... a world that's seeking answers... and the Bible tells us, we-as believers-should know, not only what we believe, but why we believe it.
[1 Peter 3:15] tells us to... "[be] ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." Let me ask you today: Why do you believe what you believe?

She said-'excuse me?' The man responded, "You don't really believe that nonsense, do you?" "Of course I believe it," she said, "that's why I'm reading it."

The man said, "Well, what if Jonah isn't in Heaven? What if he's in hell?"
She said, "Well... Then I guess you're gonna have to ask him yourself."
How many of you believe the Bible is true? If you believe the Bible is true, then you should believe there is a real place called heaven... and a real place called hell.
The reason I ask that question is because I recently read a Gallup poll that says, only 60% of Americans believe in hell today... and only 4% of Americans believe they're going there.
But the truth is... when you look at Scripture, it n ...
