What About Suffering?
Why do bad things happen? Where is God when we suffer? How should we respond to suffering?
Six reasons why:
- Fallen creation
- Sin in the world
- Other people’s sin
- Unwise choices
- The devil
- Your faithfulness
God doesn’t cause suffering:
- “Acts of God”
- Suspended judgement
- Creation continues
- Human free will continues
God is with us – Hebrews 14:15-16
God makes use of suffering – Romans 8:28

We also recorded a midweek podcast for this message, responding to some specific questions. You can listen to it here.
You can also buy a copy of the What About book from the 2016 series which contains six ‘What About?’ topics: voting and politics, money, God’s judgement, homosexuality, gender roles and the church.
