Suffering & Trials

Suffering is part of the human story, but we never walk through it alone. God meets us in our pain with comfort, strength, and hope. Through trials, our faith deepens, our character grows, and we experience God’s presence in ways we never could have otherwise.

Horse Trading | John 18:28-40 Horse Trading | John 18:28-40

This message reflects on Jesus’ trial before Pilate, showing how humanity still trades God’s truth for personal comfort or desire—just as the crowd chose Barabbas over Jesus. It challenges us not to “horse trade” with God but to trust His truth and choose what our souls need most over what our feelings want now.

Just Like Riding A Bike | John 16:16-33 Just Like Riding A Bike | John 16:16-33

This message reflects on Jesus’ words in John 16, where He tells His disciples He will leave and then return, offering peace even as He promises trouble. It reminds us that while problems are guaranteed, peace is found only through surrender to Jesus—trusting Him not just with eternity, but with every part of life.

The Legend of Lazarus Part 2 | John 11:38-44 The Legend of Lazarus Part 2 | John 11:38-44

This message reflects on the story of Lazarus as a powerful sign of Jesus’ authority over death and a call to trust Him even when it seems unreasonable. It highlights Martha’s obedience in rolling away the stone and uses it as a picture of the faith required to act on God’s word despite fear or doubt. The message challenges listeners to let their faith cost them something—through patience, forgiveness, generosity, and integrity—turning belief into action. It closes by reminding us that salvation is free, but following Jesus means daily surrender and living with purpose.

The Legend of Lazarus Part 1 | John 11:1-35 The Legend of Lazarus Part 1 | John 11:1-35

This message teaches that Jesus’ delay in raising Lazarus shows us that faith is strengthened through waiting and testing, so that God’s glory and the truth of who Jesus is may be revealed more fully in our lives.

Timing is Everything | John 7:1-9 Timing is Everything | John 7:1-9

In John 7, Jesus’ brothers urged him to prove himself publicly, but he responded, “My time has not yet come,” teaching that God’s timing and ways are wiser than our own. The message reminds us that when God doesn’t act on our timeline, we should replace worry with work, trust him in the waiting, and worship by remembering his past faithfulness.

Pursuit Effect | John 6:16-21 Pursuit Effect | John 6:16-21

In John 6:16–21, Jesus pursues his disciples by walking on the water in the midst of their storm, showing that he comes to us in our fear and chaos with mercy and presence. The message reminds us that just as Jesus pursues us, we are called to step into others’ storms, rowing alongside them in love and pointing them to the Savior.
