Summary

Why would a loving God let so many bad things happen in the world? That’s a question nearly everyone wrestles with from time to time, even solid, Bible-believing Christians! But Pastor J.D. is flipping the question on its head. He’s asking us to consider the possibility that the trials we face might actually be proof of God’s love. It’s part of our study in the Minor Prophets titled, Come Back to Me.

0:00.0	Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.
0:02.3	How does the love of God square with the threats of judgment we see in places like Joel?
0:07.2	This is how. Any experience of the painful consequences of our sin before it is too late is God in mercy in love trying to wake you up
0:16.8	He's not trying to pay you back for your sin he's trying to bring you back from your sin. Welcome to Summit Life, the Bible Teaching Ministry of J.D. Greer, pastor of the Summit Church in

1:09.3	J.D.grier.
1:11.3	Pastor J.D. titled this message, only one thing is wrong, so grab your

1:36.0	went so wrong and then what they could do to bring about restoration after it had gone wrong.
