    The Mystery Of Pain And Suffering

     | 7,277 views

    Christians have a problem with suffering that non-Christians don’t have. Christianity proclaims that God is love and that He loves the whole world. But, if this is true, why does He permit undeserved suffering?

    May 1, 2003 Title: The Mystery of Pain and Suffering Text: “And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?” Scripture Reading: Luke 13:1-5 Some people see no ...read more

    Recycling Our Pain Series

    Listen. God never wastes a hurt. What good is a trial if something good doesn’t come from it? Let’s look at the first of two questions I want us to try to answer.

    “Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

    Satan Uses Pain

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 20, 2022
     | 1,442 views

    Start with Job and then talk about how Satan wants to use pain from John 11 with the account of the raising of Lazarus (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: When speaking about Job, one time I said, “Satan can do nothing without God’s permission.” This opened up a whole can of worms. If God is good and all powerful, then how do we explain the existence of pain, suffering, and evil in our world? There are no easy answers. WBTU: Take for ...read more

    Be careful! Be on guard against false teachings and teachers. These are warnings Jesus makes as we wait for Him to come again. Luther fought against the false teachings of his time, and we must within ours as well.

    10.27.24 Mark 13:5–11 (EHV) 5 Jesus began by telling them, “Be careful that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. . . .
