The bible talks about how nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37) and that he has good plans for us. However, we look at the suffering around us and in us, and we can begin to ask the question, “Is God in control?” We know that God is good, but if God is also all-powerful, why doesn’t he just end the suffering?
A few months ago I planned a special worship evening. I felt that our congregation weren’t really engaging in the Sunday morning sung worship, and as a worship leader I felt it my responsibility to step up and offer a time of extended worship to try and break through the tiredness of ritualised repetitive Sunday mornings and stoke the fires of love.
Below is what I planned for the service.
