Unfairness is a relationship-breaker. It can be demeaning when we don’t feel like we’ve been treated fairly. So what happens when we have no earthly person to blame for some unfortunate calamity? Could God have some blame in that? Could we go so far as to say that God is sometimes unjust? Or is it possible that God is fair even though decent people sometimes suffer a lot? Join us as we explore the fascinating book of Job for a surprising answer to one of life’s greatest mysteries.

As painful as it can be, grief is a normal part of life. But grief misunderstood can bring about disastrous results. Unchecked loneliness, shame and hopelessness can lead to bitterness, a warped sense of reality or even worse. Is there a godly grief that can offer a sense of companionship and hope even when we’ve suffered a great loss? Luke 7:11-17 offers an interesting perspective on grief and shows us how God might be involved in the middle of it. ccnh.org
