Tragedy has a way of making us ask hard questions. Why do bad things happen? Is suffering God's punishment? And what does someone else's loss have to do with us? In this message from Luke 13:1-9, Pastor Christie explores Jesus' surprising response to two heartbreaking current events, what repentance really means, why suffering isn't a reliable measure of God's favor or judgment, and how God's patience is an invitation to turn to Him and bear fruit. If you've ever wondered where God is in the midst of suffering or whether you've waited too long to come back to Him, this message is for you.
