At the funeral of a 100-year-old saint and the baptism of a newborn child, one confession stood firm: “God is good, even in our suffering.” In this Lenten sermon, Rev. David Buchs explores what faith truly is — not generic optimism or mere knowledge, but trust in God’s promises. Through Jacob wrestling with the Lord and the Canaanite woman clinging to Christ’s mercy, we see faith refined in trial and anchored in God’s unbreakable Word.
