I Was Just Wondering...? // How Can A Good God Allow So Much Suffering? (Mike Johnston) 2ja65

Mike Johnston tackles one of the most heart-wrenching and confronting questions of our faith: how can a good God allow so much suffering? Mike delivers a powerful and deeply personal message exploring the intellectual and emotional struggle of reconciling God’s goodness with the brokenness we see and experience. Drawing from scripture, theology, and his own story of tragic loss, Mike shows us that suffering is not authored by God but permitted for a purpose — one that includes refining our faith, deepening our dependence on Him, and ultimately pointing us to the victorious hope we have in Jesus. This message equips us not only to face suffering in our own lives but to walk with others through theirs, holding tightly to the truth that God is good and He is not finished yet. This is a preview message of a message series from Mike's home church The Orchard Te Puke from 2024. Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 25th of May 2025 during the 10:00 am service. 4x710
