How Do We Make Sense of Our Suffering? Our Story & the Story of Job

Why, God? How do we make sense of this? Where are You?

In the wake of tragedy, the usual answers fall flat.

This message turns to one of the oldest and rawest stories in the Bible—the story of Job. It’s unfiltered grief. At times, it’s hard to hear. And that’s exactly the point.

Job doesn’t offer easy answers. But he does offer us a path through the pain. A way to keep wrestling. A reason to keep hoping.

We may not get the answers we’re looking for. But we meet a God who steps into our grief, who doesn’t stay distant from our pain, and who promises that chaos does not get the final word. He does.
