Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

Shame is the feeling that you are no good. It makes us feel unloved and unlovable, and it sucks the life out of us, demotivating a man completely with its hopelessness.

This week, we will grapple with the weighty topic of shame and learn how God sets men free from its grip. Written by Chris Walker

We are going to listen to his thoughts in this reading plan.

Is our life progressively changing after encountering Christ? How can we build assets that last beyond life? How can we radiate joy, contentment, and peace in all situations? This, and much more, is addressed in Paul’s letters. Not only does he teach, he leads by example. As false teachings and leaders are fast penetrating, these letters rock churches into strong defense and action. Their undiluted truths continue to transform lives.
