Trusting God Through Trials, Suffering and Evil – Trusting God Through Suffering – 11.27.22

For the person of faith, suffering is a great mystery. How can God be good when good people suffer? The book of Job gives us a perspective on suffering that we find nowhere else. It answers the big question: Will man serve God for nothing? In other words, if God fails to bless, will we fail to serve and believe? Can we really trust God in the midst of what appears to be undeserved suffering?

We’ll examine Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and see that God’s Word functions in a very practical way to help us handle life’s trials, difficulties, and temptations.
