QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

As a recap, Dr. Bales has been sharing this week about finding joy through suffering – and suffering well. He and his wife definitely have known suffering, having two very medical fragile daughters. He wanted a way to express the way he felt about his beautiful daughters, so he and his friend Michael teamed up to write and compose a beautiful song.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Dr. Bales closes the segment reminding us that suffering is for now, but glory is forever!

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, simply text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

SUFFERING IS NOT WORTH COMPARING

Does God really care about our problems? Think about this: He gets it! After all, His son endured the worst suffering imaginable and He promises to be with us through it all. (Psalm 34:18-19)

Dr. Bales wanted a way to express the way he felt about his beautiful daughters. He uses this segment to share more about their health issues and how God has continually showed up with miracle after miracle after miracle in their lives. Tune in tomorrow to hear the song that he and his friend Michael wrote and composed for his daughters.

SUFFERING IS NOT SINGULAR

I am sure you have experienced at least one hardship in your life. But have you experienced more than one? Probably. (James 1:2) Dr. Bales shares a little more about his sweet daughters and the suffering they have endured in their life and will continue to endure until God calls them home.

SUFFERING IS NOT WORTH COMPARING

Would life be better without any suffering at all?

Is your suffering worse than everyone else’s suffering? Dr. Bales warns us to not be a one-upper…

How are you enduring what God has entrusted you with?

Think about this: God really does care about your problems and hardships. He gets it! After all, His son endured the worst suffering imaginable!

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

As Christ-followers and believers, what is our reward at the end of our life? Dr. Conner Bales reads from the focused Scripture passage in Romans 8.

SUFFERING DESERVES STEWARDING

What did Paul mean when he wrote about considering suffering?

Why did Paul write this letter (and others letters to various churches)? Were the people out of control and challenging his authority? Dr. Bales uses the Church in Corinth as one example. (2 Corinthians 11)

How did Paul encourage the Church in Rome during their persecution? Dr. Bales uses an unlikely metaphor to explain the process of God turning heartache into something beautiful.
