Why Do Good People Suffer?
May 17, 2026 • Chad Graham
Pastor Chad introduces a new series in Job and wrestles with the question, “Why do good people suffer?” He explains that Job is presented as uniquely righteous so we know his suffering is not caused by secret sin, but is allowed by God to reveal real faith that trusts Him even when blessings are stripped away. The call for believers is to respond to trials like Job—honestly lamenting, yet continuing to trust and worship God—knowing that, as James 5 says, the Lord is ultimately compassionate and merciful.
