Pastor Betsey’s sermon, “I Wonder About the Problem of Evil,” reflects on Jesus calming the storm in Luke 8:22–25 as a way of wrestling with one of faith’s deepest questions: if God is loving and powerful, why do suffering, tragedy, and evil exist? She explains that Scripture often answers such mysteries through stories rather than simple explanations, showing that storms—both natural disasters and human-caused suffering—are a reality of life rather than direct punishments from God. In the story, Jesus’ apparent sleep in the boat captures the feeling many have when God seems absent in times of crisis, yet the gospel message is that God willingly enters the chaos of human experience and remains present within it. Drawing on examples from Esther, Job, and the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, Pastor Betsey emphasizes that God does not abandon us in suffering but accompanies us through it, offering courage, comfort, and hope. Though the reasons for every storm remain a mystery, faith proclaims that God is near, that suffering can deepen our understanding of God, and that ultimately, through Christ, peace and restoration will prevail and “all will be well.”
