1/29/20 - Worlds Apart - 4 - How can I know God Exists?

We’re in the fourth week of our series on science and faith called Worlds Apart. This week, we’re talking about whether we can know God exists! That’s a big question!
One of the chief ways we know God exists is the resurrection of Jesus. The Bible’s argument for the foundation of our faith is that Jesus died and ROSE AGAIN. 2 of the things the resurrection shows is that God came into human history to show humanity that He exists and that he loves them. We may have a lot of questions about science and faith and we may not have all the answers, but the foundation of our faith is not having all the answers, but having the one crucial answer, “did Jesus rise from the dead?”

Scripture:  1 CORINTHIANS 15:14
Main Point: You can know God exists because of Jesus’ resurrection so Build your faith on what matters most!
