Week 7: Walk By Faith, Not By Sight Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021

Does God really exist? How do I know if I can't see him?

The noted actor and movie director Woody Allen once expressed his skepticism about God’s existence like this. “If God would only speak to me—just once. If he’d only cough.

Job 1:8; job had suffering come to his life, I guess that no man has ever suffered like Job did, outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered the loss of his loved ones all at once. ...read more
