Why Is There Evil in a God Created World?

Jun 28, 2026  •  The Rev. Dr. Terry Moore

If God created the world and called it "very good," why is there so much evil today?


This week in our summer series, But Why? Honest Questions. Biblical Answers., Pastor Terry explores one of the Bible's oldest and most difficult questions: Why is there evil in a world created by a good God?


Beginning in Genesis 4 with the story of Cain and Abel, we see how sin entered God's good creation and how its effects reach far beyond a single decision. Like the wake behind a boat, our choices impact the people around us, creating waves that ripple through families, communities, and generations.


Yet this message doesn't end with humanity's failure. It points us to the hope found in Jesus Christ. While sin brings chaos, Jesus brings peace. The same Savior who walked on the water still steps into our lives today, speaking His words of hope: "Peace. Be still."


If you've ever wondered why the world seems so broken, or how God's goodness can exist in the midst of evil, this message offers biblical truth, practical application, and the hope of the gospel.
