This week Pastor Ralph shared with us another tough sermon from the series called Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask. He talked about how there is a good God in this world even though there is evil and pain. He broke down some of the reason people have for believing there is no God because of the evil and pain. Just because there is evil and pain in this world it doesn't negate that there is a God.
