    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 55 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,018 views

    This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

    At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

     | 1,011 views

    When things are going right for MOST of us, folks ask us how we are and we give them a big smile and say that things are GREAT!

    Our differences are revealed, not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the BAD TIMES in our lives! One thing we all seem to do during the DIFFICULT TIMES in life is to turn to our friends for sound advice. Most of the time when we do this what we get is not good sound advice, but a lot of RHYMES ...read more

    Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2b

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 895 views

    In the previous sermon, we established that one of the things that distinguishes us from each other is the way we conduct ourselves when troubles come our way.

    When the good times come, we all respond basically the same way. For example, when someone asks us HOW WE ARE, all of us just give them a big smile and we say, “GREAT!” In the difficult times, we can see the difference in people. When the difficult times come and you ask them HOW THEY ARE. . . • ...read more

    If you've ever travelled to a place where the culture was different than yours, you know how clueless you can feel. Job's "culture" was different than God's. It's no wonder he felt lost in the midst of his suffering...

    How many of you have travelled to a place where the culture was noticeably different than yours? At times, didn’t you feel totally clueless? I’ve seen the bewildered look on American businessmen’s faces who came to Japan where I grew up. When meeting with a Japanese client for the first time, the ...read more

     | 2,507 views

    No one would feel that sufferings are useful and necessary for us to go through. You and I might pray that we would be spared from different kinds of trials and I believe that God doesn’t feel good while we are experiencing hardships.
