Why Does Life Have To Be So Hard?
This six-message series is all about providing you with God's answers to that question. Very real, very practical answers, straight from God’s Word.
When you find yourself asking that question, you need to know that He hasn't abandoned you. He is right there, wanting to help you, direct you, sustain you and get this: He wants this trial to change you. He is in your trial right now and He can use it to accomplish great things.
Whether it is physical, relational, economic, emotional or circumstantial, God said that we can expect trials. The trials that God allows have purpose; they can change your conduct and refine your character.
Find God’s purpose in your pain and don’t let bitterness, unbelief or discouragement rob you of the treasure God is refining in you.
These very personal, impactful studies from James MacDonald could very well be the most important messages you hear all year.
Your life is about displaying the superiority of the life lived in God. That’s why Christians get cancer. That’s why Christian business men and women have bankruptcies. The sons of the kingdom handle things differently than the sons of this world. Go to talk to a doctor and ask him about the difference between a heartbroken parent in the hospital without Christ and a heartbroken parent in the hospital with Christ. And right there—in that moment—that’s your chance to shine the light of the Gospel and to display the superiority of the life lived in God. —James MacDonald
