Everything Happens For A Reason
Contributed on Feb 21, 2026
Part 4 of the "God Never Said That" Series. This is an alternate manuscript to the one provided in the Sermon Series kit.
I think most of us would agree — we don’t like going to funerals. It’s not that we aren’t willing to pay our respects. It’s not that we didn’t genuinely love the person who passed.
