Suffering is real. It’s not a sign that God has abandoned us, but a reminder that we live in a world fractured by sin. This message walks through why suffering exists at all, how a good God can step into it without being cruel, and why for those in Christ suffering will not last forever.

You’ll hear:

• Why suffering entered the world in Genesis 3 and how sin broke creation

• The difference between moral evil (what people do) and natural evil (what happens in a broken world)

• How God’s goodness is seen not by removing all pain, but by redeeming it (Romans 8:18–28; Joseph’s story)

• How Jesus suffers with us and sympathizes with our weakness (Isaiah 53; Hebrews 4:14–16; John 11:35)

• The future hope that God will wipe away every tear and end suffering forever (Revelation 21:3–5)
