Why is there so much evil and suffering in the world—and how should followers of Jesus respond?In this special message, Pastor Ben calls the church to prayer, unity, and hope after a week of heartbreaking violence and division.Drawing from John 16, Ephesians 6, Psalm 46, and Matthew 11, this message reminds us that behind every act of hatred there is a spiritual enemy at work, but the light of Christ shines brightest in the darkness.You’ll discover: • Why we must recognize the spiritual battle behind cultural chaos (Ephesians 6:12) • How to hold onto hope when the world feels shaky (Psalm 46:1–3,10–11) • The call to be salt and light in a time of confusion and division (John 1:5) • Why prayer is our greatest weapon in moments of tragedy • How the next generation is experiencing a move of God across campuses and communitiesThis message isn’t just about lamenting evil; it’s about equipping you to respond as Jesus would—with courage, compassion, and conviction. Darkness doesn’t prove the absence of God; it proves the need for light.If you’ve been overwhelmed by the news or wondering how to talk to your kids, co-workers, or friends about what’s happening, this message will help you anchor your heart in Christ and act as His hands and feet in the world.⸻📍 Get Connected with Daybreak Church:🌐 Visit our website: www.DaybreakChurch.org📖 Additional Resources: www.LiveAndLoveLikeJesus.org🔔 Subscribe for more messages on faith and discipleship!Click here to watch a video of this episode. ⸻📌 Hashtags:#DaybreakChurch #LiveAndLoveLikeJesus #BibleTeaching #Matthew28 #ChristianLife #RespondToEvil #HopeInJesus #PrayerIsPowerful #TheSilenceIsLoud #SpiritualWarfare #FaithInDarkTimes #ChristianEncouragement #UnityInChrist #SaltAndLight #Revival #NextGenerationFaith #JesusIsTheAnswer #ChurchOnline
