Pathway to Victory

Dr. Robert Jeffress

March 30, 2026

God rarely explains the reason for our suffering, but we can hold on to the truth that all suffering is temporary and that God's ultimate plan will be realized. [... more]

When The Answer Disappoints – Part 1 of 2

When faced with unanswered prayer and suffering, Christians can find comfort in their faith, knowing that God's sovereignty and ultimate victory are greater than any circumstance.
