Episode Synopsis

In this message, we will explore the reasons why bad things happen, including the consequences of our own decisions, the actions of others, and the reality of living in a fallen world. We will also discuss how God can use our pain for good and how our experiences can equip us for deeper ministry. Ultimately, we will find hope in the truth that Jesus, who suffered more than we can imagine, is with us in our pain. He offers us hope and healing, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Join me as we navigate this challenging yet essential conversation about faith, suffering, and the goodness of God.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:19 - Personal Experiences and Examples00:01:05 - The Story of Charles Darwin00:02:21 - Addressing the Audience's Pain00:03:15 - Understanding Faith Amidst Pain00:04:07 - The 'But' in the Bad00:04:42 - Unpacking the Principle of Goodness00:05:43 - The Problem with Perception of Goodness00:07:33 - Goodness and Moral Judgement00:08:55 - The Absolute Goodness of God00:11:50 - The Origin of Pain00:11:54 - The Implication of Good People00:12:57 - The Curse of Sin00:13:40 - Consequences of Our Decisions00:15:45 - The Consequences of Sin00:16:41 - The Impact of Other People's Sin00:17:29 - The Role of Free Will00:18:48 - The Influence of Satan00:21:17 - Living in a Fallen World00:22:30 - The Hope Amidst the Bad00:24:04 - The Eternal Perspective00:25:18 - God's Ultimate Good00:27:30 - Equipping Believers for Deeper Ministry00:28:43 - The Suffering of Jesus00:31:45 - Finding Hope and Healing----------Follow 2911 Church on Social Media:FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/2911churchINSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/2911churchWEBSITE: https://www.2911church.com/GIVING: https://2911church.churchcenter.com/giving----------Subscribe to 2911 Church's Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6SiLmBl5TcTGD63CTNwU4f?si=98186b325cf94ee6Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/29-11-church/id1456498714
