Show Summary
In this timely sermon, Justin Peters addresses recent tragedies through the lens of Scripture—God’s absolute sovereignty, human depravity, real justice, and the hope of the gospel. From passages such as Ephesians 1:11, Isaiah 46:9–10, Job 38, Romans 8:28, and Luke 13:1–5, we learn why evil exists, why God is never the author of sin, and why our only sure comfort is Christ alone.
