A Seattle Church

Suffering & The Problem of Evil


Listen Later

Guest Speaker, Josh Ryan Butler, invited to wrestle with one of life's most challenging questions: Where is God when it hurts? Through Job's story, we discover that suffering isn't always a result of our actions. Sometimes, life's storms hit even the most righteous among us. The key lesson here is learning to trust God even when we don't understand His ways. We're encouraged to move from a 'what if' faith to an 'even if' faith - trusting God even if the worst happens. This message reminds us that while God may not always provide explanations for our suffering, He offers us His presence. Just as God spoke to Job out of the storm, He desires to meet us in our darkest moments. The parallels drawn between Job and Jesus are particularly striking, showing how our sufferings can be redeemed and how we, like Job, can become intercessors for others. This teaching challenges us to choose to go through our sufferings with God, knowing that He is ultimately more powerful than any evil we face.
