LIFE “The Problem” – Why Jesus Came as Saviour
What’s actually gone wrong with the world?
And what’s gone wrong with us?
In this second talk of the LIFE series, we explore the Bible’s diagnosis of the human problem – what the Bible calls sin. Not as a list of bad behaviours, but as something deeper: a broken relationship with God that affects our lives, our relationships, and the world around us.
Through one of Jesus’ most well-known stories – the parable of the two sons (Luke 15) – we see that there are two kinds of lostness:
one that looks rebellious and obvious,
and another that looks respectable and “good”.
Jesus also challenges the common idea that being a good person is enough, showing instead that the real issue isn’t good versus bad, but lost versus found.
This talk asks:
– Why did Jesus come as a Saviour?
– Why doesn’t “being good” actually fix what’s broken?
– How does distance from God shape our lives now – not just in the future?
– And why is naming the problem the first step toward healing?
This talk doesn’t assume belief.
It doesn’t aim to shame or pressure.
It invites honest reflection on a diagnosis we all share — and points toward the hope that follows.
