Secret Church 12 – Session 2: God’s Sufficient Power in Suffering

About this sermon

While suffering may appear to be rampant in the world and society around us, none of this suffering is new. Suffering was also prominent within the Old Testament. How, then, did the Israelites respond to suffering? What did Job do in the face of severe pain and tribulations? Or where did the Psalmist turn in anguish? In this session of Secret Church 12, Pastor David Platt forms a biblical theology of suffering by examining the Scriptures carefully.
