Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Mike Sullivan

2 Corinthians 4:7-18

God allows us to experience suffering to break down our self-reliance and let more of His aroma out. This process of Christ being formed in us occurs as we die to self and live for Christ. God sustains us with His power and He enables us to have greater spiritual impact on others.

God's Wisdom and Trials

Gary DeLashmutt

James 1:1-12

James addresses the Galatian's drifting into worldly attitudes and behaviors. As they were experiencing legitimate trials and suffering, James calls them to have the proper perspective toward their difficulties. Trials are not random or retribution from God, but they are God's Trainer to develop spiritual fitness and strength. Our ultimate destination matters far more than our comfort along the way.

Focusing on the Next Life Encourages Us in this Life

Ryan Weingartner

2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10

God promises that suffering in this life will bear fruit in this life as well as the life to come. We can be encouraged by this because we know that whatever we endure is nothing in comparison to the glory to be revealed in the next life. If we fix our eyes on the unseen realities to come, we can bear up under the sufferings this world has to offer.

Revealing the Mystery

Scott Risley

Ephesians 3:1-11

God hid His plan of redemption until He revealed His Son,Jesus, to the world. He kept His plan hidden from all the spiritual forces so that Satan would be fooled into cooperating with His plan. Jesus dying on the cross was not a defeat but God's victory over sin. God's solution solved the problem of the penalty for sin, and any accusations against God's character. He is both loving and just. God can be trusted!

The Price of Leadership

Ryan Lowery

Ephesians 3:1-11

What is a leader? In the Bible, it's usually a person who regularly says "yes" to God, inspiring others to follow in their shoes. The Bible makes it clear that saying "yes" to God may bring great suffering, but it will also bring opportunities to live a meaningful, purposeful, and constructive life. The first "yes" is accepting God's offer of forgiveness and eternal life. Given the suffering involved, why should we consider pursuing this kind of leadership? Because it is the best expression of love for God.
