Sermon Description
While suffering is often listed as the reason why people struggle to believe or disbelieve in God, it’s curious that for the Apostle Paul it is central to spiritual growth and what it means to flourish in life.
Main Passage(s)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
