Tragedies often reveal what we’re really made of.  When times are unthinkably tough, heroes rise up, offering sacrificial acts of courage, endurance, and love toward others. These acts of faith are reflections of God’s light, the brightness that shines when life is dim. Some of those heroic acts make headlines, while others are performed quietly.  At Horizon, we’ll explore six tragedies -- the Titanic, Chernobyl, Mount St. Helens, Concentration Camps, the Crippled Flight 1380, and the Chicago Fire -- and see how real people shone brightly amidst the darkness, pointing us to God’s presence in suffering.
