Grace changes us, grace carries us, and grace sends us.
The Christian journey isn't about removing suffering but about adding grace to carry us through times of intense suffering.
We Groan in Our Suffering, Yet HOPE Remains Within Us!
We Are Not Alone in Our Suffering!
We need the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome sin, and we need the presence of the Holy Spirit to enable us to persevere in suffering. The Holy Spirit is not just a witness to our suffering; He actively becomes part of it.
God Uses Our Suffering to Mold Us into More Christlike Individuals!
God's goal is to use every situation in our lives to shape us into more Christlike individuals.

Our Story Ends in Glory!
We Live Between Groaning and Glory
· We groan…But glory is coming.
· We suffer…But glory is coming.
· We struggle…But glory is coming.
· We wait…But glory is coming.
· We groan…But glory is coming.
· We suffer…But glory is coming.
· We struggle…But glory is coming.
· We wait…But glory is coming.
The Christian journey isn't about removing suffering but about adding grace to carry us through times of intense suffering.
