Advent & The Death Of Cynicism

Pastor Mike explores how life's disappointments and failures can lead people from youthful idealism to hardened cynicism, especially in our current low-trust society saturated with negative media. He presents the biblical worldview as a "bifocal vision" that acknowledges both the goodness of God's creation (Genesis 1) and the reality of our fallen world (Genesis 3). Rather than denying evil or becoming cynical, Christians are called to be joyful and hopeful because of what God accomplished through the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
