God and Evil

Summary

The sermon explores the persistent reality of evil in the world, using both the movie Schindler's List and the biblical story of Abimelech as powerful examples of human brutality and unchecked injustice. Drawing from the book of Judges, the message focuses on Abimelech's ruthless power grab, where he murders his 70 half-brothers to seize control, illustrating humanity's capacity for cruelty and self-interest. The key takeaway is that while evil may seem to temporarily triumph, God ultimately responds to and judges such wickedness, challenging believers to resist cynicism and maintain faith in divine justice, even when confronted with seemingly overwhelming oppression.
