Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld - Trusting God in Suffering: Suffering and Our Sanctification

Suffering is never random — it has a purpose. In this message from 1 Peter 4:1, Dr. John Neufeld explores how God uses suffering to sanctify His people, burning away what is false and producing a faith that is genuine, tested, and eternal. Drawing from 1 Peter and the doctrine of union with Christ, Dr. John shows why trials are not only allowed by God, but appointed by Him — and how, in the hands of a loving Father, even our deepest pain becomes the means of our greatest growth.Trusting God in Suffering: One of the obstacles to faith is the problem of pain. Why does a powerful loving God allow suffering? The Scriptures are forthright and do not ignore, diminish or bypass the problem. Nor do they resolve it. But God does tell us how we are to respond to pain. In this 10 message series, Dr. John will explore God’s teaching on pain. It will not answer every question, but it will help us in the midst of our struggles.
