In this message from Ruth 1, Pastor Lentrail speaks to the deep tension we feel when suffering makes it seem like God is against us. Naomi’s question becomes our question—how can God be loving and yet allow this kind of pain?  This sermon reminds us that while suffering is truly bitter, God’s character remains good, holy, and trustworthy. Instead of asking “why,” we’re invited to ask how God is using our trials to shape us, draw us closer, and make us more like Christ.  Ultimately, we endure by looking to the cross—where we see a God who doesn’t stay distant from suffering, but steps into it—and by holding onto the promise that He will one day make all things new. 

In this message from Ruth 1, Pastor Lentrail addresses the real struggle of trusting God when life feels like it’s falling apart. Naomi’s story captures the tension we all feel—how can God be for us, yet our circumstances feel so against us?  This sermon reminds us that suffering is truly bitter, but it doesn’t mean God is absent or against us. Instead, we’re called to anchor ourselves in God’s character and trust that He is at work—even in the pain.  If you’ve ever wrestled with where God is in your suffering, this message will help you hold onto hope and keep walking by faith.
