Luke 13:1-5 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | Often Christians will chalk up disappointment and sorrow and pain and loss to "God's will." Or, they may cloak these sentiments in pious hope, "Everything happens for a reason." Other times, we assess tragedy as a punishment, judging that God brought calamity in response to unrepented sin. This sermon will explore these themes, asking whether God causes all suffering or any suffering at all, and whether calamity indicative of God's judgment and displeasure.
