God Must Not Be Good Because He Created Evil

Contributed by John Fruner on Aug 13, 2002

God is not the author of evil and suffering in the world. Evil and suffering are consequences of our actions. Original Sin.

God's Discipline Vs. Our Pain Series

Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 12, 2007

From a series of Wednesday night Bible Studies on Psalms 1-23. David thinks he has been disciplined enough, but we take the time to contrast parental discipline and godly discipline.

Seeking The Lost PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 29, 2025

Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.

I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more

Blessed To Be A Blessing

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 12, 2017

God chose Abraham to father a nation. He didn't always get it right. But he, along with his wife Sarah, teach us valuable lessons: to trust in God's sovereignty, to wait for God's timing, and to follow God's leading as we walk by faith.

And some people seem to sense more easily how God wants to guide them, how God wants to lead them? Abraham was such a guy. The Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter ...read more
