When God Doesn't Make Sense
This study derives its name and a lot of its content from James Dobson’s excellent book, When God Doesn’t Make Sense.
What Does a Christian Do When His Suffering Makes No Sense?
This study will help to answer this question. The following is covered in the sermons below:

- God allows affliction and suffering in our lives to try our faith.
- Sometimes our troubles are due to our own sin and foolishness
- Feeling forsaken by God
- God doesn’t always answer the prayers of even the godly.
- God’s love is shown to us by Christ dying for our sins, not by our circumstances.
- Trust God’s promises, not your feelings
- Two choices: acceptance or despair
