Walking With God Through Pain and Suffering- Intro

“Contemporary people have a problem is that they think that life is all about finding happiness. Each one tries to decide under what conditions they will be able to be happy and then they work toward bringing about those conditions. To live for happiness means that you are trying to get something out of life. But when suffering comes along, it disrupts the conditions for happiness away, and so suffering destroys all your reason to keep living. Western society has been judged as the weakest and worst at preparing its people for enduring times of loss, tragedy, and grief and its people have become disillusioned and despairing. This introductory message prepares us for the journey that will take place over the next several weeks as we explore Walking with God despite enduring times of suffering.
