When trouble arises and we’re caught off guard, that’s when the real test of our faith begins. Remember, God is good in every situation.
In this Sunday service from May 31, 2026, join us for worship and a hope-filled message from Joel. Take heart—God has everything under control, and nothing is a surprise to Him.
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” —James 1:12, NLT
