Hope sustains the soul when all falls apart. Find hope to make it through difficult times. 3 Observations about life in a fallen world 1. Trials are inevitable 2. Trials tend to “make us” or “break us” 3. Victims fail to move beyond asking “why” and remain stuck in their pain A word from God to those whose world is “falling apart.” -James 1:1-4 1. What can I control? -My ATTITUDE 2. What must I do to make it through today? -ENDURE 3. What hope do I have for tomorrow? -God will take the WORST and use it for my BEST How God uses adversity to mature us 1. We're forced to DEPEND on God at a new level. Left alone, we're self-sufficient, proud, and insensitive to Him. 2. We're WEANED from the temporal, urgent, and worldly affairs of life. We're forced to REEXAMINE our values, priorities, commitments, and future. 3. Trials let us WITNESS God's reality and power first-hand. Our need becomes the vehicle of His grace; our problems the object of His power. 4. They serve as a TESTIMONY to the unbelieving world. How we endure hardship shows the world how real God is. 5. We become sensitive, caring, and compassionate CHRIST-LIKE people. Those hurt deeply tend to love deeply. Broadcast Resource Year End Match Additional Resources Connect Partner With Us |
