Forged in Fire

Despite the fact that adversity is a part of everyone’s life, people exert a lot of effort trying to avoid it. This mindset of seeking ease and comfort can limit us in seeing how God can and does use adversity to work powerfully with us. Having a proper attitude during difficult times helps us develop the character of Christ, increase in godliness, and grow more into the image of our Lord.  Verses: Gen.  2:1-2, 12; 45:5; Prov. 17:3; Isa. 48:10; 2 Cor. 11:23-33; Gal. 5:15, 25; Phil.  2:13-14; 1 Thess. 5:6-8; Heb. 4:6; 12:4-8; James 1:2-4, 12; 5:10-11  Teacher: Dan Gallagher
