1. Is God Crazy

In this message, I begin a powerful new series that tackles one of the most common struggles believers face. For generations, many Christians have been taught that God sends hardship to test us. But if you believe God is the source of your suffering, it becomes almost impossible to trust Him as your healer, your deliverer, and your savior. I share a remarkable testimony from early in my ministry about a young couple whose unborn baby was facing a life-threatening situation. What happened next became a powerful demonstration of what changes when someone stops blaming God and begins to trust Him for who He really is. We’ll also take a fresh look at the book of Job and address some of the misunderstandings that have caused many people to believe things about God that simply aren’t true. Much of the struggle people experience in their relationship with God comes down to one simple question: Do we believe God is who He says He is? When you begin to understand God’s true character, His goodness, His love, and His desire to give life, it changes the way you relate to Him. Fear begins to fade, trust grows stronger, and your walk with God becomes far more confident and peaceful. This message begins a series I’ve taught for more than 25 years that has helped people all over the world discover who God really is and learn how to walk with Him in genuine trust.
