In this message, we will explore the reasons why bad things happen, including the consequences of our own decisions, the actions of others, and the reality of living in a fallen world. We will also discuss how God can use our pain for good and how our experiences can equip us for deeper ministry. Ultimately, we will find hope in the truth that Jesus, who suffered more than we can imagine, is with us in our pain. He offers us hope and healing, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Join me as we navigate this challenging yet essential conversation about faith, suffering, and the goodness of God.
