For the last week of our God Never Said That series, Pastor Matt tackles a common misconception. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us that God "will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear," but sometimes God will allow us to be given more than we can handle so that we'll have to rely and depend on him.

March 03, 2019 18:22 - 34 minutes - 23.4 MB

To say that every tragedy you go is ordained by God and part of his cosmic plan is just not true-- it's not biblical. Thankfully, God understands our pain. But like John 16:33 says, "In this world we will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world."

And our pursuit of happiness should not be our primary motivation either.
