Lessons From The Bible

A Few Good Men...And Women

Genesis 50, 19-21

This talk discusses the reasons why we undergo trials and suffering. It covers the 6 principles in which to live when our lives get turned upside down and we do not know what to do anymore:

  1. God will use our difficulties to build our faith.
  2. God will often require us to do what seems to be unreasonable.
  3. God will always lead us to do what gives Him most glory.
  4. God will usually strip us of everything we depend upon other than Himself.
  5. God will send us encouragement when we grow fainthearted.
  6. God is always working on the other side of the camp to accomplish His purposes.
