The phrase, “Everything Happens for a Reason” often minimizes pain and oversimplifies suffering. While God is sovereign and can bring good out of any circumstance, not everything that happens is directly caused by Him. Instead, Scripture teaches that in all things God is at work to redeem, restore, and weave His purposes into the brokenness of everyday life.

Scripture References: Romans 8:28, Psalms 34:18, James 1:13, John 11:1-44, Genesis 50:20

From Series: "God Never Said That"

We’ve all heard phrases like “God will never give you more than you can handle” or “Forgive and forget.” They sound comforting, but here’s the problem: God never actually said them. In this 4-week series, “God Never Said That,” we’ll uncover some of the most common cultural myths about God, compare them with the truth of Scripture, and discover the hope and freedom found in what God really does say. Each week helps your congregation trade half-truths for whole truth and build their lives on the solid foundation of God’s Word.
