Life brings troubles, setbacks, pain, loneliness, disappointments, and sickness, but through it all, we can find solace in knowing that we are still in the hands of the Lord.

    The Blessings Of Hardships

     | 5,191 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

    James in his first chapter warns us not to be deceived, providing reasons to believe in God's goodness regardless of our circumstances.

    In the late 90s, there was a popular saying in the church: "God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good." It's easy to proclaim God's goodness when things are going well, but what about when we face difficult circumstances? How can we know that God is truly good? In James 1:16-18, we find ...read more

    When we face times of hardship, it can be confusing and stressful. As God did when He dealt with the Israelites as they wandered for forty years, God has a purpose for you when you inflicted with hardships.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • I think all of us either have, are, or will deal with hardships in our life. • When we are a Christian, these times can be confusing to us because we have the idea that belonging to Jesus somehow shields us from hardships in life. • Either while you are in the midst of a ...read more
