Most of us grew up expecting life to go a certain way, and when it doesn't, God becomes an easy target.
In this message, we tackle the question that comes up more than any other: why do bad things happen to good people? Drawing from personal experience, including a family cancer diagnosis, this sermon explores why a broken world produces broken circumstances, without a cruel or absent God behind them. You'll discover that asking "why" isn't a sign of weak faith, it's something Jesus did from the cross.
And when the question beneath the question is "where is God in all this?", the answer is closer than you think. This message is for anyone in the middle of something painful, anyone who has felt the weight of unanswered prayers, and anyone who needs to know they don't have to face the storm alone.
