Roundtable: Faith and Suffering (2021)

Part 7

January 19, 2022 • Jeremy Helmuth, Don Delagrange, Troy Jester

Too many times, we either say too much or we say the wrong things when we are trying to comfort someone who is grieving. How should I act around someone who is hurting and what exactly should I say to him or her? Learn the “dos” and the “don’ts” of how to interact with someone who is grieving. Discover the secret to bringing joy into their life even though their life is a mess.

Part 6

January 12, 2022 • Jeremy Helmuth, Rob Bogle, Dan Baker

Could we be experiencing pain because of our past? Watch as Central’s pastors discuss how consequences do not end when we confess our sin and ask for forgiveness. We are right before God, but the damage that was done could last for many years. How can we pick up the pieces when our life feels broken and how can we rise above and experience God’s enjoyment even when we have to daily face the results from our past sin?

Part 5

January 5, 2022 • Jeremy Helmuth, Troy Jester, Don Delagrange

In the midst of all the bad stuff that happens in our life, we are told that “all things work for the good” (Romans 8:28). What does this mean? It doesn’t mean that cancer or accidents are good, but we can always find God working in the midst of any trial. Watch as a few of the Central pastors share their own stories of trials and the good they saw in the midst of the tragedy.

Roundtable: Faith and Suffering - Part 1

November 25, 2021 • Jeremy Helmuth, Rob Bogle, Don Delagrange

We invite you to join us over the next seven weeks as several pastors at Central Ministries discuss the problem of evil and suffering and how Christians can respond. Today’s discussion will focus on why we live in a broken world. Watch as Pastor Jeremy and others describe the fall of Adam and Eve and how that has affected all of us since that moment. Learn why death, disease and destruction is part of this life because of sin.

Roundtable: Faith and Suffering - Part 2

December 2, 2021 • Jeremy Helmuth, Rob Bogle, Dan Baker

Watch Central’s pastors discuss how God has given each human free will and how there would not be love without the ability to chose hate. God gives us the choice to do right or wrong. Learn what God did about the suffering and how someday he will make everything right.

Roundtable: Faith and Suffering - Part 3

December 8, 2021 • Jeremy Helmuth, Luke Spaulding, Troy Jester

Many Christians believe that God should always shield us from all that is bad. But any Christian who has lived long enough knows that bad stuff happens to Christians just as much as nonbelievers. Watch Central’s pastors discuss how we can learn to trust in God even when difficulties come our way.

Roundtable: Faith and Suffering - Part 4

December 15, 2021 • Jeremy Helmuth, Dan Baker, Troy Jester

God tells us to be joyful during troubles and trials, but it can feel almost impossible when you have a gut-wrenching pain of the death of a loved one, horrible diagnosis, job loss and failed marriage. What can we do as Christians to discover joy in the midst of this discouraging time?
