Hedonism: Christian Worldview with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores hedonism, a philosophy defining good and bad based on pleasure and pain, originating in ancient Greece with the Cyrenaics and later refined by the Epicureans. It contrasts crude indulgence with a more sophisticated appreciation for refined pleasures. The practical takeaway is the inherent paradox of hedonism: seeking pleasure often leads to pain through frustration, while its pursuit can ultimately lead to dissatisfaction.
