Understanding our Trials and Tribulations Part 1
April 22, 2021
When a severe trial strikes it’s easy to think something is wrong or that God must be mad at us! But the truth of the matter is, every Christian will go through trials and it doesn’t diminish God’s love for us, or necessarily indicate it’s as a result of sin in our lives! Today on Sound Doctrine we continue to receive encouragement, practical instruction and eternal perspective for those times when we suffer greatly.
