Usually when we are in any trial we withdraw from our ministry. We assume escaping the trial is more important than gaining the crown of life!
|
|
|
|
We have a greater value in gaining maturity in Christ.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is Christ still worth trusting in these trials:
|
|
- A unfaithful marriage
|
|
- Loss of loved one
|
|
- When you finances are a wreak
|
|
- When we are mocked
|
|
- when we loose everything
|
|
***YES***
|
|
|
|
When God has not given us an answer we ask ourselves, "is it worth it?" ***YES***
|
|
|
|
The crown of live is always worth it!
|
|
|
|
When in trials, we need to seek out the promises of God! "your promises are yes and amen".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many people believe God temps us. But this is not true.

|
If we are being tempted, James holds a mirror to show us who is tempting us. We have to take responsibility over our own lives.
|
|
|
|
22min mark, as Christians we should not be continually giving ourselves over to sin.
|
|
|
|
See David as an illustration for how sin and lust creeps in and causes us issues:

When we are in desperation mode remember all good comes from God!
|
|
|
|
When we have heart breaking pain we remember that God has perfect and good gifts for us!
|
|
|
|
The word of truth is the Gospel: He saved us!!!
|
|
|
|
He saves us so that
|
|
- we might be holy

What is our picture of God when we go through trials?
|
|
Do we see Him as perfect and making us holy? Do we trust him in the trial?
