Sunday Bible Study When the ground shakes, and a poor nation’s economy is destroyed; when the waters rise, washing away a community’s hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations; where is God? If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to infest his creation?
In Why? Making Sense of God's Will best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, Hamilton addresses how we can comprehend God’s plan for the world and ourselves.
Everyone is welcome to this study during Sunday School time, 8:45 am in the Adult Lounge. During the five weeks beginning January 22, we will explore the questions Why Do the Innocent Suffer?, Why Do My Prayers Go Unanswered?, Why Can’t I See God’s Will for My Life?, Why God’s Love Prevails. Books will be available in the church office for $10. See Pastor John for more information.
Jury Parking is available at FUMCOR's parking lot Monday - Thursdays Shuttle bus is available - free - to the courthouse
