When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

“Why” is the word that haunts us when things go wrong, when a child is lost or a reputation is slandered. None of us escapes those times when we question God’s purposes. Millennia ago, a man named Job asked, “Why?”

John 1 is a breathtaking overview of how Jesus is God’s expression to mankind. As the Word of God in human flesh, Jesus shows us what God is like.
