Doubting God
March 6, 2016
What do you do when God is late? How do you understand a God who claims to love us, yet fails to respond to our pain? A person who has never questioned God is a person who has yet to face suffering. In this message, we explore how Jesus convinces us to trust Him enough to follow Him through a death that leads to life.
