Sermon for March 13th, 2022

Job 18:1-21

Most Sundays I stand up in front of you and talk about God's love, God's mercy and forgiveness, how we are all created in God's image, and therefore precious in his sight. We like to be reminded of that, and we like to believe it. It's good theology. But any truly good theology must also be able to answer the question: Well..what about Jeffrey Epstein? What about Derek Chauvin and Vladimir Putin? What about Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, and (insert your favorite evil villain here). Today we're going to talk about evil, about God's justice, and about the fate of the wicked.
