Things Can't Be THIS Dark

Summary

The sermon explores the challenging reality of confronting deep, pervasive evil and human darkness that can overwhelm and challenge one's fundamental beliefs about goodness. The speaker reflects on the difficulty of acknowledging the extent of human brokenness and the tendency to minimize or avoid recognizing profound systemic or personal darkness. The key takeaway suggests that while people often want to believe the world is fundamentally good, there are moments and experiences that reveal a more complex and troubling reality that cannot be easily explained or rationalized.
