Why would God create a world where such terrible things can happen? It could be that by giving us free will God allows the possibility of evil without willing evil itself. How much of the suffering we experience is caused by people’s poor decisions?

We hear about terrible things happening everyday around the world. Whatever it is – illness, death, natural disasters, or other forces that seem to strike without warning – the experience of tragedy is universal. Whether we suffer ourselves or see those we love in pain, eventually we all ask: “If God is good, why do bad things happen?”
This 4-week worship series begins August 6 and will include material to work through with others. North Oak's discussion group will meet Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. beginning August 13.
