Scripture: James 5:10-11; John 5:30; I Peter 4:19

Topic: Suffering

Notes:

- You will suffer but God has an planned end that is better than you can imagine - Job survived without a Bible, spiritual friends, a church, Christian music... he had nothing but the grace of God brought him through - You cannot figure God out; be careful passing judgement; your time is coming - We don’t know how to handle others problems; we rebuke, cast out, speak against something God has allowed - Worship, praise and pray... serve Him no matter what comes my way - At some point you’ll have a theological crisis: a conflict of what you’ve known and what you’re hearing from God (as Abraham when God told him to kill Isaac-Abraham trusted God) - God never contradicts Himself - Joseph honored God yet went to prison; Job obeyed yet lost everything - There are time I don’t have joy - God uses physical infirmity to mature me - God will take whatever He sees necessary and do in your life to work out self-confidence, arrogance of faith and build the brotherhood and edify the church
