Life is full of suffering—sometimes in ways that shake us to our core. When we witness the horrors of war, senseless violence, devastating natural disasters, or personal tragedies, we can’t help but ask: Where is God in all of this? Why does an all-loving, all-powerful God allow innocent people—including children—to endure such unimaginable pain?
In this message, we confront one of the hardest questions of faith: Why do the innocent suffer? Together, we’ll explore common but misguided explanations for suffering and discover what Scripture and Christian tradition teach us about pain, justice, and God’s presence in our lives.
Don't miss this powerful and thought-provoking message. Bring your doubts, your struggles, and your questions—and move toward renewed faith, hope, and love. Share this message to bless others.
