| | From Suffering to Glory by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Suffering Scripture(s): Romans 8:18-27 | | Description: When Paul was converted on the way to Damascus, God told Ananias that He would show Paul how much he was still to suffer for the name of Jesus. The sermon preached to Paul wasn't like so many of today's sermons, where people are told that they should come to Jesus to be happy, joyful, blessed, rich etc. That's why so many fall away. Of course those things could be added but that's not the reason you come to God neither the reason God saves you. God saves you that you might know Him and do His will, wherever He might lead. Someone asked one of the co-workers why he wasn't preaching a Gospel of love, blessedness and material prosperity. He answered that we preach the love of God as revealed in His Son Jesus who suffered and died for us on the cross because of our sin. He died so that we can be saved, do His will and lay down our lives for our fellowmen so that they too can be saved. The man then broke down and answered that he realizes for the first time that he has never been saved, but only followed after other men.

| | This Is No Soft Life by Lee Shipp
Topic: Suffering Scripture(s): 2 Timothy 2:3-4 | | Description: God calls us to a live of suffering in Christianity. It is not the easiest life to live but it is the best. This generation is one of the possible last generations before the coming of the Lord and there is a wake up call being sounded for us to endure hardship as a solider of Christ. To live for eternity and Christ's kingdom and not this earth.

| | Suffering: If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world? by Tim Keller
Topic: Suffering Scripture(s): 1 Peter 1:3-12 | | Description: In the midst of evil and suffering, abandoning your faith will neither help you handle suffering nor understand God. By looking back to Jesus death on the cross and looking ahead to the hope of a new heavens and new earth, we can understand Gods overwhelming love for us and the promise that victory will swallow up evil and death.
