New Sermon Series Beginning January 6, 2019
Please join us as we begin our new sermon series entitled: When We’re Left to Ask “Why…?”
Have you ever been left to ask why? If God is good and powerful, why do terrible things happen? Why do we suffer? When we pray, why does God sometimes seem to be silent? Absent? It can leave us wondering, Is God there? Does God care?
In this three-week sermon series, we will explore these questions and how we reconcile them with the Christian portrayal of God’s love. If you have ever wrestled with these questions, please join us on the following dates at both the Crossroads Contemporary Service at 9:00am in the Family Life Center (first floor) and the Traditional Service at 11:00am in the Sanctuary. Contact the church office at 757-357-3373 for more information, Tuesday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
January 6, 2019 – If God is Powerful, Why Do Bad Things Happen?
January 13, 2019 – If God is Loving, Why Do We Suffer?
January 20, 2019 – If God is Present, Why Can’t I Tell?
