Session 1, Week 4 - How Can You Believe In God When There Is So Much Evil?

Pastor Eddie Eaton addresses the problem of evil and suffering in this Off-Campus D-Group apologetics lesson. He explains that evil is not a rival substance God created, but a corruption of good arising through creaturely freedom and human rebellion. Drawing on Colossians 1:16, Genesis 3, Deuteronomy 29:29, Genesis 50:20, and the cross of Christ, he shows that God remains good and sovereign, can bring redemptive purpose from suffering, and ultimately defeats evil through Jesus. The lesson equips believers to respond calmly, biblically, and pastorally to skeptics while trusting God when every answer is not yet visible.
