Sermons About Tests
The Purpose of Suffering
It is Gods will to shape us into the image of His son, Jesus Christ. But, how does he accomplish this? James tells us that it begins with the testing of our faith, leads us towards patience, and ultimately brings us to maturity. There are many reasons that we resist such tests and trials, but the bottom line is this: trials are the very things God uses to mold us into the image of Christ—and there is no shortcut. Key Verses: Rom 8:28-29, Php 2:1-8, James 1:2-4, Php 4:11-13, 2Cor 11:23ff, 2Tim 4:6-8

Standing in the Face of Trouble
Many prophecies have been given about God's plan for this area. What will it take to prepare us for our part in seeing these things come to pass? The history of recent moves of God to transform cities and nations reveals that most of them came because of very difficult times. What then will prepare us to stand in times of trouble? Two characteristics which are necessary are Godly character that will not be moved, and tested faith that will believe what God says regardless of what the circumstances look like.
