Chapel Class - The Problem of Suffering

The Problem of Suffering is the strongest argument against the existence of a loving God. People of faith have the same kinds of problems as the rest of the world, but we trust in God's presence with us through difficult times. Also called "the Problem of Evil," this challenge to our faith is caused by Satan in his desire to cause us to rebel against our Maker. Our team of teachers, Gary Kenley, Tim Stafford, and David Jackson will address this challenge from a study of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, during the months of April and May. Join us Wednesday for the introduction to this important effort. David Jackson will be teaching.

Serving through church gives us a way to belong and meet new people. We’ve got many openings available to fit your gifts and passions, whether it might be serving the Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, singing on the Praise Team, serving in our Special Needs Ministry, Media Team, and many others.

When it comes to giving, generous givers prioritize loving God. Pretty basic huh? But a lot of things are competing for our time and money, and it’s easy to get our priorities mixed up. God calls us to love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. If you want to keep the main thing the main thing, loving God should be at the top of your list. As we love God through our giving this week remember this: Giving to church is a tangible way to demonstrate the priority of God in our lives.
