The School of Hard Knocks - Audio

from Generations Community Church Hosted by Max Vanderpool

All of us will attend (at one point or another) the “school of hard knocks.” What is the school of hard knocks, you ask? It's the twists & turns of life – the hardship, adversity, difficulty, loss, tragedy, and suffering that life sometimes throws AT us. And here's the thing: winning and achievement do not teach you what kind of human being you should be. Being the most beautiful girl in town or being the boy who can throw a ball the farthest do not teach you what kind of human being you should be. But hardship can. And God often uses the "school of hard knocks" to help transform us into the kind of human being that we see in Jesus. It's the second mark of a disciple - following Jesus means we are being CHANGED by Jesus.
