"THE PAIN PROBLEM" JOHN 12:27-36

I live in Southern California, a place often hailed as America’s playground.

Here, we are surrounded by mountains, deserts, lakes, streams and the stunning coastline of the Pacific Ocean.

It seems as though we all aspire to live the dream in this vibrant landscape.

A healthy and happy life is our common goal, and while pleasures abound, financial security is often seen as the key to a fulfilling existence.

Yet, why do so many of us suffer so acutely?

Could it be that we have been sold an empty promise—that this material pursuit is the key to our happiness?

There is more to life than this; there exists an overarching plan and purpose even amidst our struggles and pain. How can this be possible?

We invite you to join the conversation and explore the possibilities that await us.
