Summary

When life feels overwhelming, 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 reminds us to look beyond our present troubles and fix our eyes on what is unseen and eternal. We may not understand everything in this life, but we can trust the One who does. Though evil and suffering raise hard questions, guest speaker Frank Turek shows how some of the strongest arguments used to doubt God actually point to His existence.

I. Does Evil Disprove God?

II. What's the Purpose of Evil?

III. What's God's Solution to Evil?

Talk with God: Meditate on Ephesians 3:16 this week and ask the Lord to renew and strengthen you as you walk with Him.
