Can You Endure Patiently In Suffering ? – Sermon – March 02 2014

Questions answered in the Sermon:

Think about this, No one, other than Christ, suffered so much as Paul in regards to beatings physically and attacks verbally, and yet, at the same time, no one rejoiced as much as Paul!   Isn’t that Strange? – Wouldn’t you think, that the one who suffers the most is the one who is most defeated, and most sorrowful?  The one who suffers the most is rejoicing the most?  What secrets did he , Paul, have, to rejoice even in his afflictions?  Do you think we can learn something from him?

Are you suffering today from something that has come into your life?  Are you groaning, moaning, wincing, bewailing your fate?  Are you prepared for the struggles, sufferings to come, whatever they may be – abuse/persecution for the gospel, loss of family, wealth, health, friends – as was the case with righteous Job?  Do you see God’s great purpose in your afflictions?  Do You believe God will rescue you from ALL your afflictions?

Can I Trust the Lord to Provide ? – Sermon – February 02 2014

Can I Trust the Lord to Provide ? – Sermon – February 02 2014

Questions answered in the Sermon:

Will God also indeed provide for you in all things you need in this life?  And how about especially in those situations that you deem impossible – a financial crisis, a health crisis, a ministry crisis, a spiritual crisis?  Will He provide for you at that time as well?

And will He provide for you a salvation and a future and a home in his kingdom?  And will you trust Him to do all these things for you?  Does God try to test our hearts with overwhelming situations?  How can we use and learn from these tests?

Does this mean that whenever we face a crisis that we should sit back and do nothing, and wait for God to save you?   Why can we trust Him always to provide for us in all our needs, according to His timing and choice?
