When we face problems and pain in life, we need to understand that what we’re going through is for the future that we’re going to. That struggle is a part of making us who we’re going to become and it is designed to accomplish God’s purpose for our lives.

Pastor Ford will challenge us today to consider the need we have to understand how our problems and pain can be motivating factors in our lives. Even though we go through difficulties, they can motivate us to live in our “not yet,” right now.  In other words, we can focus right now on the hope we have in our future with Jesus,...

Crises are a part of life for everyone and many times they bring suffering into our lives.  But as believers, we have actually been called to suffer for Christ.  We’ll learn today how suffering grows us, grounds us, graces us, and grooms us for what God has in store. ...

When asked about our commitment to Jesus, many of us have probably said, “Oh yeah, I live for Jesus… I’ll even die for Jesus!”  But today, Pastor Ford will ask these convicting questions—”How do you think you’re going to die for Jesus when you can’t even make it to church for Jesus? How...

He’s trying to develop us. But in order to understand the process, we have to see suffering from...

God has sent us the trials we are experiencing in our lives, and He wants us to see them in the way that He sees them.  And that’s because He’s shaping us to make us into something that we currently are not. And why is He doing that?   Because in the current shape we’re in, God won’t give us what He...

You may be going through a tremendous struggle right now, but as we begin to look at how there is purpose in our problems and pain, Pastor Ford will encourage us to not waste our sorrows. Instead, we should embrace them, realizing that God is up to something and is working in our lives.

Pastor Ford will remind us today that sometimes the solution to our problem is in our problem.  In other words, our deficiency—which is apparent to us in our problem—may be the provision for the sufficiency that God wants to provide for us.  But often, we can’t easily see the truth about our situation. So, we must...

There’s power in the name of Jesus.  So much so, that when we focus on Him and on magnifying His name, our perspective changes.  We will realize that the problems in our lives will become smaller, in comparison to the light of His glory. ...
