God With Us Part 2 - Leanne Payne

The sermon explores the pervasive influence of Western developmentalism—the belief that order and complexity emerge from chaos—and its detrimental impact on Christian faith. It argues that this myth, which denies creation and the fall, has led to a capitulation to secular values, manifesting in ideologies like social Darwinism and materialism, and hindering the church's ability to effectively engage with the world. The speaker emphasizes the importance of regaining a Judeo-Christian worldview, practicing the presence of God through listening prayer, and renouncing self-hatred and unconfessed sin to experience wholeness and move forward in faith, ultimately collaborating with the Holy Spirit to bring truth and beauty into the world.
