Why We Must Seek God

For the last 3 weeks, we've discussed the classic "evidences" that assume someone is searching for meaning, transcendence, and truth. But how do we talk about God to people who no longer care those things?
They might ask things like: If God is everywhere, why do we have to seek Him? If it's so obvious that God exists, why do we need evidence? Why are there so many smart atheists, and why is being a Christian a challenge even for good people? Why do we doubt?
There are many ways to respond to these questions, but today we will focus on three truths:
1) We are weakened by sin, failing to see obvious truths
2) Scripture tells us that we MUST seek God in order to find Him
3) If living in an unbelieving community leads to faithLESSness, then living in a believing community leads to faithFULnes.
Key Text: Acts 17:16-31, Paul on the Aeropagus.
