Pain and suffering are mega-themes in the bible. http://ow.ly/weACs

One of the most shocking things in Scripture is how often God brings joy through suffering. http://ow.ly/weACs

Jesus was forsaken so that you and I would never have to be. http://ow.ly/weACs

We don't measure God's goodness by circumstances. We measure God's goodness by the cross. http://ow.ly/weACs

We may not be given individual answers to our suffering, but we are given a final answer. http://ow.ly/weACs

We don't always know the reasons why we suffer, but we know it's not because God doesn't care. http://ow.ly/weACs

Those that know and love Jesus will be healed–it's only a question of when. http://ow.ly/weACs

In this week's sermon, we focused on God's call for us to be laborers who plant, and trust him to cause growth in his kingdom. We spent much of the sermon doing what Jesus commands us to do, which is pray earnestly for him to send laborers into the harvest.
