This Sunday If God is good, why all the suffering in the world?
Pastor Bill Berger | 1 Peter 1:3-12 In light of all the tragedy that we have observed over the past few months: earthquakes, deaths of law enforcement officers, community tragedies... it begs the question: Why do bad things happen to good and innocent people? We can question deeper than that: If God is good, why doesn't He stop all of the bad and evil in the world?
These are great questions and they deserve a response.
See you Sunday.
