Why Does God Allow Evil and Suffering?

Why Does God Allow Evil and Suffering? | Brandon Woodard | That’s a Good Question 2025 If God is good, why do bad things happen? Why do wars rage, innocent lives get taken, and families experience so much pain? This is one of the hardest questions we face in life and faith—the problem of evil and suffering. In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks what the Bible teaches about why suffering exists, how sin broke God’s perfect creation, and why free will matters. More importantly, he points us to the hope we have in Jesus—the One who has already overcome the world. 🙌 You’ll discover: * Why evil and suffering exist in the first place * What Jesus said about trouble in this world (John 16:33) * How Paul gives us hope in the middle of pain (2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Romans 8:18) * What it means to be salt and light in a broken world (Matthew 5) This place is not our home. Until then, we are called to serve with our hands and share the Gospel with our hearts—bringing hope and pushing back the darkness. 📖 Scripture References: Genesis 1–3, James 1:13–14, John 16:33, 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Romans 8:18, Matthew 5:13–16 --- 👉 If this message encouraged you, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more sermons from @newpost.church ​
