Kong Hee: God & Suffering

January 28, 2023 | Saturday 5pm Service +++++++ One of the greatest challenges to our faith is when we go through suffering, yet our most urgent search for God happens when we are in pain. This powerful message from Kong Hee unpacks the purpose of suffering, which is to transform us to be more like Jesus. Very few people in history suffered like Job: until the day he died, he never knew the reason he had to suffer, yet he loved God for who He was and not for His blessings. Pastor Kong teaches that God’s purpose for us cannot be stopped (Job 42:1), and He has a purpose when we face hardship—He is working out something glorious in us. No matter how deep our pain is, God’s love for us goes even deeper. Jesus is with us daily in our suffering; nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. If you are going through a hard time in life, let this sermon encourage and empower you to hold on to your faith and trust in the Lord, having eternity in your heart. +++++++ 00:00 Welcome 00:29 Worship 49:17 Offering 57:08 Announcements 01:03:31 Sermon +++++++ LEAD THE WAY Song Leader: Laelle Loong Liyee Casey Moore | Jack Mooring | Kyle Lee | Leeland Mooring © 2019 Fair Trade Tunes, From The Void, Integrity's Alleluia!
