Suffering is hard. Thankfully, God makes use of it to transform us. We are shaped, refined, pruned, transfigured in the crucible of hardship.  

…Which means we can find enduring beauty even in the midst of grief, financial hardship, loneliness, relational conflict, wrecked dreams, and persecution. Our loving heavenly Father subverts the enemy and our fallenness, redeeming even the worst of our pain. 

Unfortunately, one of the things you can count on in life is suffering. Good news, though: that’s not the only thing you can count on if you’re following Christ. In this message, we’ll explore how integral suffering is to the Christian experience, and what makes that more than okay.
