In this powerful message from the "Fight" series, Pastor Jarrett Stephens explores how Christians can fight through suffering with faith and hope. Discover the two tracks that help us understand why we suffer: God's glory and the refinement of our faith. Learn what suffering brings into our lives—God's power when we're weak, purpose bigger than ourselves, and an eternal perspective that sustains us through the darkest nights. Pastor Jarrett shares four certainties from Romans 8 that anchor us in difficult times: God is not condemning you, God is praying for you, God is working for your good, and nothing can separate you from His love. Don't trade what you know for what you don't know—learn to fight through suffering and keep your faith for the glory of God.
