Owning the Mess

2025, September 21

In a world where faith is often misunderstood—reduced to blind belief, outdated tradition, or personal opinion—this message series explores a better, deeper truth: faith is not irrational. It’s reasonable, grounded in evidence, and deeply relevant.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored:

• What faith really is: not just belief, but trust, obedience, and a new way of living—being “in the faith.”
• Why our faith is based on evidence: the design of the universe, the moral law within us, the historical and supernatural reliability of the Bible.
• How faith shapes our identity: "In the beginning, God" reminds us that we are His creation—designed for His purpose, accountable to His standard.

But we’ve also been honest: we've all failed that standard. Sin is not just a personal issue—it's a global crisis. Yet God, our Creator and Judge, is also our Savior. He didn’t leave us in our mess—Jesus stepped in to clean it up.

Now, the call is clear: Own the mess. Confess the sin. Receive the grace.
 And live as someone who truly belongs to God.
