From Suffering to Glory

Описание: Suffering isn’t an accident in the Christian life — it’s part of the path.
In this sermon from Romans 5 and Romans 8, we explore why followers of Jesus should expect suffering, not avoid it, and how God uses hardship to produce perseverance, character, and hope.

If we are co-heirs with Christ, we also share in His sufferings — and it is through suffering that God forms us into the image of Jesus. This message challenges the idea that faith should lead to comfort and ease, and instead calls us to a deeper, stronger, more resilient discipleship.

Whether you’re a believer struggling through hardship or someone asking hard questions about faith, this teaching points to the gospel as the source of endurance, hope, and true transformation.
