If God is good and powerful, why do bad things happen? This Sunday in worship, we conclude our series Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith by looking at one more unavoidable, unanswerable question (and this one’s a big one): Why do the innocent suffer? This week's sermon explores the problem of suffering, challenges common assumptions about God, and shares a hope rooted in Christ’s promise that love and life have the final word.Today's Scripture readings are Genesis 1:26-31, Psalm 139:7-18, Romans 5:1-8, and Luke 13:1-5.Learn more about Christ the King Lutheran Church in Port Washington and Living Hope Lutheran in Saukville, Wisconsin at <a href="https://www.livinghopesaukville.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.livinghopesaukville.org/</a> or <a href="https://ctkport.org/" rel="nofollow">https://ctkport.org/</a>.
