"Suffering’s Purpose Is To Rely Not On Ourselves But On God"Bible Readings: 2 Corinthians 1:1-11; Psalm 146Text: 2 Corinthians 1:9Summary: One of the major reasons God sends us sufferingis to break the stubborn spirit of self-will within us thatinsists on trying to work it all out by our own resources, orrun to some other human resource, or in some way refuse toacknowledge that we need divine help. “God may allowsituations in our life where our only consolation is foundthrough Christ. Sometimes we think the only consolation isfound in a change of circumstances, but God wants tocomfort us right in the midst of our difficult circumstances,and to do it through Christ.” Enduring Word.Preached 06/08/23 AM service by Rev Lourens Nel
