2 Timothy 1:12
Which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled.
Gary Wilkerson encourages us to trust God’s goodness and sovereignty through all life’s difficulties.
We all come across crooked bends in the road, challenges and difficulties that turn our world upside down. They are painful, but not without purpose. In this powerful sermon, Gary Wilkerson reminds us that God has a plan for and wants to use these seasons for our good and his glory.
Another form of change comes through suffering. While the most difficult, these seasons can certainly refine and restore us. Gary talks about this change we all face at times and the value we can find in them.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Russell Berger joins Gary Wilkerson to share how he has learned to trust God and his goodness in the face of immense personal suffering.
It is amazing how many people want the power of Christ but not the path of Christ. They do not want to follow a Christ who uses His resources and power to help others. However, they will soon discover that following Jesus inevitably leads to a road of self-sacrifice. It is at this crossroads that many turn away from following the Jesus of the Bible.
No one on earth can place you in ministry. You may be given a diploma by a seminary, ordained by a bishop, or commissioned by a denomination. But Paul reveals the only source of any true call to ministry: “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry” (1 Timothy 1:12).
There’s a good man. He fell in love and married young; he and his wife went through some rough times, but they overcome together. They have years of faithful, worthy marriage under their belts.
