Faith When Life Makes No Sense

With Revd. Tommy still enjoying his holiday, this week we welcomed Revd. Lesley Ennis, who led our worship and gave the sermon.
Why does a good and loving God allow suffering? It is one of the biggest and most difficult questions of faith, and one for which there are no simple answers.
Drawing on the struggles of Jeremiah, the words of St Paul and Jesus' own journey to the cross, Lesley explores what it means to trust God when life doesn't go as we hoped. Jeremiah isn't afraid to tell God exactly how he feels, yet amid his pain and frustration he discovers that God has never abandoned him.
We are reminded that Christian faith doesn't mean pretending everything is fine. Instead, we can bring our fears, doubts, anger and questions honestly before God, trusting in His strength when our own has run out.
From Paul's call to “overcome evil with good” to Christ's promise that those who lose their life for His sake will find it, this week's message encourages us to keep turning towards God—even when we cannot see the whole picture.
When we cannot carry ourselves, we can trust in the God who promises to carry us.
