Title: God is Real
Author: Jerry Watts
Text: John 1:1-5, 14 ; Genesis 1:1
John 1:1-5, 14, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
These are some of the opening words of John's gospel and they mirror the words of Moses in Genesis, which reads, "In the beginning, God created."
Inside this room, most if not all of us have little problem with this concept, however, today we are recognizing those among us who will be leaving the cocoon of this church fellowship to spread their wing and experience life in ways they never have before. They will be taking their next step into the future. It will be exciting, demanding, challenging, and at other times dangerous, but such is the nature of this life.
You live, you run into difficulties, and based on your training, knowledge upbringing, and belief system, you navigate those problems to continue your life's journey until you hit another wall and you, once again, navigate around it, using the tools you have.
Along your way there are going to be those people and things which challenge you. They may challenge what you were taught in school, at home, and even the things that the church attempted to instill in you. You will likely this, "The Bible is not true," "There is no absolute truth," and "There is no God."
Today's Message is entitled, "Is God Real?" This is my (our) starting point for the morning. At the end of this service, my goal is to do this, take that three word sentence and exchange the "subject" and the "predicate" (verb).
