Description
Why would a good God allow something so painful to happen? And how do you keep trusting Him when you can't understand why? In this message, Pastor Levi Lusko tackles one of life's oldest and hardest questions. Teaching from John 9, he explores why suffering isn't always punishment, why we may never get the answers we're looking for, and how God's promise of redemption gives us hope that pain will not have the final word.
This message will help you:
– Understand what the Bible teaches about suffering and why bad things happen.
– Let go of the pressure to explain every hardship or find someone to blame.
– Learn how to bring your grief, questions, and frustration to God as an act of faith.
– Hold on to hope when life hurts, knowing suffering is real but never final.
