Listen to the podcast if you were not there to hear Madalaine's testimony.
Here are some passages I used in the message.
Suffering alerts us that there is a problem
Romans 5:12 tells us sin is in the world
Romans 8:18-22 talks about suffering focuses us on the afterlife and we realize that the whole world is subject to sin.
Suffering directs our perspective
Prverbs 3:5-6, Romans 8:18
Suffering shapes our spiritual life and drives us toward maturity.
Romans 5:3-4 & James 1:2-4
Suffering also unites believers together
1 Corinthians 12
Suffering gives us opportunities to meet the needs of others
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 & Galatians 6:2
We are the hand and voice to comfort others in their time of suffering.
God wants to comfort you in your suffering.
