North Platte Berean Church
Be Humble
We’re really uncomfortable with the idea that an all-powerful, all-loving God could stop suffering but doesn’t. But could he have a reason for allowing suffering that we don’t know about or don’t acknowledge as valuable? Join in as we explore what we can learn from the story of one famous sufferer in the Bible about how to face life (and God) When Trouble Comes.
