The SUFFERINGS of Christ | Sermon in 2 Corinthians 1.3-11 | Rev J.M. Bragatto

Where is God in the midst of suffering and pain? In this sermon based on 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, Rev. J. M. Bragatto addresses the universal challenge of human suffering through the lens of God's sovereignty and goodness.

Living in a world surrounded by grief and evil, we often ask: "Where is God?" The Bible reveals that God is not indifferent; he is the "Father of mercies and God of all comfort." In this message, we explore how Christ’s own sufferings provide the ultimate answer to our pain and how his victory over sin and death offers a steadfast hope that nothing can separate us from his love. Join us at Covenant Church, a Reformed Church in London, as we find biblical comfort in our deepest tribulations.
