In this message, Pastor J.D. unpacks a lesser-known account from the Old Testament that gives us a powerful picture of God’s purpose in our suffering. It’s the story of a young girl’s faith, a proud man’s brush with death, and God’s amazing mercy. It’s part of our overview of the Bible called, The Whole Story.
