Why Do We Suffer?

November 11, 2012 Speaker: Kurt Trucksess Series: John on Jesus

Topic: Sunday Morning Teaching Passage: John 9:1–9:12

Life is filled with pain. Thousand died in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Cancer sucks the life out of 547,000 Americans a year. Tropical storms, like hurricane Sandy, leave thousands homeless and cold. Where is God? If he is powerful, why doesn't he do something about it? If he is good, why doesn't he stop it? Is there an answer? Suffering is a complex issue. Thankfully, the Bible gives a little understanding of why God allows it. Join us as we learn why God lets suffering into our life.
