Stephen Nichols: How Can I Know God?
Summary
This sermon uses the analogy of a Labor Day picnic, specifically the necessity of a hot dog griller for grilled hot dogs, to illustrate the concept of God as the "uncaused cause" or first cause. It references philosophical ideas from Aristotle and Aquinas, and scripture from Acts 14:17, explaining that God reveals Himself through both natural and special revelation. The practical takeaway is that just as grilled hot dogs imply a griller, the existence of the world points to God as its ultimate cause, and we can know Him through His revealed witness.
