Seven: Suffering

Seven: Suffering

Suffering is “the state of undergoing pain, distress, hardship or loss”. Right now we are all experiencing a degree of suffering, some more than others. In this message we look afresh at how God in Christ chose to suffer with and for us on the Cross and, in so doing, strengthens us in times of personal and global suffering.

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
