When Life Falls Apart

Some losses don’t give you time to prepare. They arrive all at once, and suddenly everything you depended on feels gone. For some, Christmas only amplifies that ache—the empty chair, the broken relationship, the season that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. And in moments like that, the question quietly rises: Where is God when life falls apart?

In the opening chapter of Job, a righteous man experiences sudden, devastating loss. Scripture shows us how faith responds when suffering comes without warning.

Because when the pain hits all at once, what we believe about God is revealed very quickly.

Today Pastor Jeff walks us through Job’s response to overwhelming loss and reminds us that worship doesn’t always come after answers—it often comes before them. And as we sit with the weight of this moment, we’re invited to bring our questions honestly before a God who is still present.
