Title: Yes, God Is (3)
Series: I Doubt It
Author: James Merritt
Text: Romans 1:18-20, Psalm 19:1-4, Psalm 139:13-14
Introduction
1. Over a century ago on September 19th, 1910, at 2 o'clock in the morning, Clarence Hiller wrote up to the screams of his wife and daughter in their home at 1837 West 104th Street in Chicago. There had been robberies in their neighborhood and they had been told to stay on alert. Hiller raced out of his bedroom right into the robber at the head of the stairs. They fell down the staircase. His daughter, Clarice heard three shots followed by her mother screaming. Neighbors came running, but the man had fled leaving Hiller dying by his front door.
2. He didn't make it far. Thomas Jennings, who had been paroled six weeks earlier was stopped a half a mile away wearing a torn bloodied coat and carrying a revolver. It was what he left behind that would be the focal point of his trial and would change judicial history and forensic investigations forever. A fingerprint from a freshly painted railing he used to get himself through a window into the Hiller home. Police photographed it, cut off the railing and said it would prove the identity of the burglar. In the eyes of the court they were right. Hiller's murderer would lead to the first conviction using fingerprint evidence in a criminal trial in the United States, because we now know one thing for sure - without eyewitnesses, without movies, videos or even recording devises if your fingerprints are found somewhere it means you've been there.
3. We are in a series that we are calling
"I Doubt It." We are dealing with some of the top doubts that both Christians and non-Christians, believers and skeptics have about some of the most important issues of life. Last week we were dealing with people who doubt the Bible is the Word of God. We gave some solid reasons and proof why the Bible does indeed bear the marks of the Word of God and why it should be believed as the Wo ...
