Why Would a Rational Person Believe in God? (Foundation of Our Faith – Week One)
In a moment when many are newly curious about Jesus, Jason lays out a clear, thinking-person’s case for God. This message highlights three lines of evidence pointing to a Creator: the evidence of design in creation, the fact that the universe had a beginning, and the moral law written on every human heart. You’ll see how Scripture speaks with clarity to what we observe in the world—and how to share this hope with a friend who’s exploring faith.
What you’ll learn:
• Design implies a Designer (from the complexity of life to order in the cosmos).
• A universe with a beginning points to a First Cause beyond space, time, and matter.
• Objective morality suggests a Moral Lawgiver—and why our consciences matter.
• How Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1–2 frame a faithful, thoughtful worldview.
• Gentle ways to talk about faith with seekers and new believers.
Key Scriptures:
Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:20; Romans 2:14–15
Next steps:
• New to faith? Start here: read Genesis 1 and John 1 this week and write down one question from each chapter.
• Growing disciple? Memorize Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1:20; practice explaining each “sign” in your own words.
• Share: Send this episode to a friend who’s asking honest questions about God.
Discussion questions (for small groups or personal study):
Which of the three signs (design, beginnings, morality) resonates most with you—and why?
How does Genesis 1:1 shape your view of science and faith working together?
Where do you see evidence of “the law written on the heart” in everyday life?
What is one next step you can take to grow in loving God with your mind (Mark 12:30)?
Prayer prompts:
• Ask God to open hearts to the truth of who He is through creation, conscience, and His Word.
• Pray for confidence and gentleness as you share the reason for the hope within you (1 Peter 3:15).
• Thank God for revealing Himself and inviting you to know Him through Jesus Christ.
