Being Human in a Broken World

Dr. Allan Meyer’s sermon, part of the Building a Theology series, examines humanity’s dual nature—brilliant yet broken. He contrasts our God-given potential with our capacity for cruelty, citing examples like addiction and gender dysphoria. Meyer outlines salvation in three stages: justification (completed through Christ’s cross), sanctification (ongoing transformation by the Holy Spirit), and redemption (future bodily renewal). He stresses the conflict between our redeemed inner spirit and fallen outer body, urging believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1-2). Through renewing the mind, Christians can discern God’s perfect will, navigating life’s challenges in a broken world.
