Making Sense of a World Filled With Evil | Joe Holland | Grimké Chapel

How does a pastor sit with someone who has suffered horrific evil and speak comfort that does not ring hollow? Joe Holland preached from Psalm 10 on the tension every minister will eventually feel: real, named wickedness in the world, and yet a sovereign, good God on the throne. Tracing the three lies the wicked tell about God against the counter-truths God speaks back in his Word, Holland brings students to the cross, where the goodness of God and the reality of evil are finally held together without flinching. Listen and be equipped to name evil as evil, rejoice that you yourself were once an enemy redeemed, and carry the hope of the risen Christ to the worst of the worst.
