Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People? (1 of 7)
Series: Now That's a Tough One: Answering the Difficult Questions of Life
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Acts 14:21-22
Well, if you have your Bibles tonight, turn to Acts chapter 14. We're starting a new series called, "Now That's a Tough One: Answering Life's Difficult Questions."
You know, life is filled with difficult questions. One of my favorite comedians is a guy named Stephen Wright. I don't know if you've ever heard of Stephen Wright.

Lots of tough questions.
Well, tonight, we want to look at the tough, tough question that so many people have asked throughout the ages. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why on earth, God, do bad things happen to those people who are trying to do good, who are trying to walk with You? Yet, so many people, who have really tried to walk with God, have experienced so many ba ...
