Americans & God
Pastor Dan Erickson
Part of Sermon Outlines
September 13, 2020

More Americans believe in Satan than believe in God

51% believe in the traditional, Biblical view of God


PRAY GOD WOULD OPEN PEOPLE’S EYES TO THE TRUTH (2 Corinthians 4:4; Psalm 19:1-2)

STRIVE TO LIVE IN A WAY THAT DEMONSTRATES GOD IS REAL

EXPLORE REASONS WHY PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD

Anger and guilt

Unbelief is a moral problem, not an intellectual one (Psalm 14:1; Romans 1:20)

God does use our words to help people believe (1 Peter 3:15)

TALK ABOUT HOW IT MAKES SENSE TO BELIEVE IN GOD

There are many reasons to believe in God

Scientism, Darwinian evolution, and Intelligent Design

TALK ABOUT WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS WOULD BE IF THERE IS NO GOD

No meaning, morality, or knowledge because “the universe doesn’t care”

We know we are more than protoplasm and that certain things are wrong

Suffering and evil would not be a problem if God does not exist


May the Lord enable us to reflect the true light of the Triune God to show the world that He is real
