Ever heard anyone say, “Everything happens for a reason”? Of course you have. Maybe you’ve said it. But is that really what the Bible says?

This weekend, as we continue our GET SMART series, we’ll take a good hard look at this one.

To get the discussion started, think about these questions:

Is everything that happens God’s will?

Does God cause every circumstance in our lives?

What do I do if there doesn’t seem to be a good explanation for the pain?

See you soon!!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
