Questions about Difficult Times and Suffering

It is wonderful to know that the Bible has answers to life's biggest questions. Two questions that people ask are:

1. Why does it seem that a "black cloud" is following me everywhere I go?
2. How do I rejoice in suffering?

Drawing from James 1:2-4 and other Scriptures, this message answers these two very important questions. Listen to this message Questions About Difficult Times And Suffering here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/QuestionsAboutDifficultTimes.mp3

The Problem of Evil

The question someone might ask goes something like this: "If God is good, and all-powerful, and everywhere, then how does evil exist in the world?" Or, they might ask this: "Why doesn't God just remove all the evil?" In classic theology, this question is known as The Problem of Evil. Whether you are talking to an atheist, a skeptic, or someone who is simply trying to figure out the answer, you will want to be equipped to answer this question. Drawing wisdom from several Scriptures - Genesis 3, Romans 8, Revelation 21, and Deuteronomy 32 - you will be glad to know the Bible answers this question!

What Are You Looking For?

What if God asked you, "What Are You Looking For?" what would you say to Him? When a couple of guys began following Jesus, He turns around and asked them this very question.

Why Do You Eat And Drink With Tax Collectors And "Sinners"?

The religious leaders of Jesus' day were confused, curious and a bit critical of Him. He and his disciples did not live according to all of their rules and regulations. Jesus and his followers even sat down for meals with tax collectors and other so-called "sinners." When Jesus calls Levi to be his disciple, Levi hosts a banquet so that all of His friends can meet Jesus. In another town, Jesus invites Himself to be the dinner guest at Zacchaeus' house. We can learn much from these two events recorded in Luke 5:27-32 and Luke 19:1-10. In this message, Pastor Derek and Kurt Nichol discuss what the Bible teaches about being a witness for Christ every day, everywhere you go, on the job, in your community, in your home, and more. They discuss the principles of Scripture and give practical ideas to live out your faith everywhere you go. Pastor Derek shares six evangelism styles, and asks, "Which one best describes you?"
