The “Enlightenment” of the Western World: Ultimately with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon argues that Western culture's perceived maturity is actually adolescent rebellion, a rejection of God's authority driven by self-will rather than a discovery of untrustworthiness in Christ's teachings. It contrasts philosophical views of enlightenment with a Christian perspective of a society struggling with its desires against divine commands. The practical takeaway is to examine whether current societal rebellion stems from genuine discovery or a conflict with unbridled personal will that goes against Christ's will.
