Uncertain: Always Good [Pastor Nathan Ward]

GOD GAVE US FREEDOM. Much of the world’s evil comes from human choices and not God’s cruelty. He created us to be free so we could choose love … but … freedom can be abused!

GOD USES PAIN AND SUFFERING TO SHAPE US. Pain is not good, but God can use it for good. Trials deepen our faith and draw us closer to Him [James 1:2-4].

GOD ENTERED OUR SUFFERING. At the cross, Jesus took on the worst evil, betrayal, injustice, torture, and death … on the worst day in history to bring us to the greatest good: salvation!!! God allows suffering, and He joins us in it!!!
