Evil Is Not What You Think It Is (Genesis Part 8)
We can tend to either dismiss evil as superstition or distance it as something that happens to "other people". This week, Will Sopwith challenges both perspectives, revealing how evil operates closer to home than we might think. Drawing from Genesis, he unpacks three key components of evil - the pursuit of power, the perversion of good, and the perpetration of pain - while showing how God both judges and limits its impact.
But here's the hope - while evil is real, we're not powerless against it. Through Christ, we have practical ways to resist its influence and participate in God's restoration plan.
