Don't Give Up On God!

We have all experienced difficult circumstances that have made us ask, “Why God?!” We have all experienced disappointments and have wondered why God is allowing us to go through this season of our lives. We have all experienced such profound pain that has made us wonder if God even cares. We have all cried out, “I believe, but help my unbelief!” 

Dr. Ben Gutierrez presents John 14:1-3 in its cultural context and shows how Jesus comforted His disciples who were experiencing the very same emotions we often do – pain, doubt, fear. See how Jesus responds to their questions, “God, are you there? God, do You care?” Listen to the teaching of John 14 and learn how it is God’s character to comfort, protect and provide for His children and how He promises to care for them for eternity!

John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
