Sustained Renewal in Suffering
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
As Paul writes to the church at Corinth, he explains his own method for enduring suffering and actually being renewed even while suffering. The trials, hardships and various forms of suffering in life all can be so overwhelming and difficult. Paul presents his own mindset about suffering and difficulties, while he ministers to these believers in Corinth. We must remember that our suffering and hardship is only temporary in this life - even if it lasts our entire lifetime. Your present, temporary suffering must not prevent you from being renewed and gazing toward the eternal - daily. The church was not designed or created by humanity; it was designed and instituted by God to fulfill his plan for his followers on earth. It is paramount that we understand the nature of the church, the priorities that should characterize the church and the character of the individuals that compose the church. We must ask and understand the answer to the question: what is the church? Therefore, the church is a committed fellowship of believers in Jesus, who passionately live their lives together, striving to live and advance the magnificent truths of their Savior, who’s example perfectly establishes, directs & prioritizes their daily lives.
