Exploring Faith: God's Love in Difficult Times

from Little Saints, Big Lessons: Children's Sermons from St. Peter's Episcopal Church · host St. Peter's Episcopal Church

Mother Paige greets the children and, instead of focusing on the long gospel passage, teaches them a key line from Romans by having them repeat: “Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us,” because God’s love has been poured into their hearts through the Holy Spirit. She explains this can be misunderstood as God causing suffering to give hope, but says life can be hard and God does not inflict pain; rather, God is with us to redeem and transform difficult times. She connects this to the cross, noting that Jesus suffered yet overcame death and gives new life and grace. She has the children repeat the phrase again, encourages them to remember and practice it.00:00 Welcome and Setup00:08 Romans Phrase Call and Response01:17 What It Really Means02:00 The Cross and Redemption02:08 Repeat the Mantra Together02:45 Hold Onto Hope02:59 Song
