The Function of Suffering | ryan peterson
from Grace Church Southern Pines Hosted by Grace Church Southern Pines
May 3, 2026 We are in our third installment of the book of Job covering the universal, yet unpopular, topic of suffering. Week one we discussed how God uses suffering and week two how we are to respond. This week we will explore the function of suffering. Does God have a design in suffering? Has God made provisions for such difficulties as sin and suffering through our relationship with Jesus? Yes! Suffering is designed through God’s grace to kill sin. When we understand what God is doing in the spiritual reality of our lives through things like suffering, we can submit to His plan and come out completely transformed to be more like Jesus from the inside out.
