About this sermon

Pastor Greg Laurie shares a message entitled "Why Does God Allow Suffering, Part 1" from Job 1. Every life is filled with trouble no matter who we are. If God is good and loving why does He allow evil and suffering? Here, in the Book of Job, we see an example of a righteous man that suffered and lost everything he had in his life, but he never lost His faith in the goodness and love of God.
