One reason why we’re fighting against what God is allowing to happen in our lives may be because we’re immature in our faith and we don’t understand that God’s not allowing our suffering to happen in order to hurt us. Instead, He’s trying to help us. He’s not trying to destroy us. He’s trying to develop...

As we continue our study in 2 Corinthians, we discover that Paul had a unique perspective about his problems, because he chose to look at the Problem Solver, instead of at his problems. Instead of looking at the Devil, who has some power, Paul chose to focus on the One Who has all power—Jesus Christ.

There’s power in the name of Jesus.  So much so, that when we focus on Him and on magnifying His name, our perspective changes.  We will realize that the problems in our lives will become smaller, in comparison to the light of His glory. ...

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will challenge us to seek understanding of how our problems and pain can be motivating factors in our lives. As we go through difficulties, those circumstance can motivate us to lives in the “not yet,” right now.  In other words, we can focus right now on the hope we have in our future...

How can we know if we are mature believers? When His purpose is more important to us than our pain. Some people won’t get involved in ministry because they know that they’re going to get hurt. But Pastor Ford will explain today that we all must ask ourselves, is Calvary more important than our own personal comfort?

Many of us may be going through a tremendous struggle right now, but as we begin to look at how there is purpose in our problems and pain, Pastor Ford will encourage us to not waste our sorrows. Instead, we should embrace them, realizing that God is up to something and is working in our lives.

As we continue our study in the book of James, Pastor Ford will ask us to consider this question—even though we’re going through something right now, are we more committed to Jesus’ purpose than we are to getting out of our pain?

God has sent us the trials we are experiencing in our lives, and He wants us to see them in the way that He sees them. That’s because He’s shaping us to make us into something that we currently are not. And why is He doing that?  Because in the current shape we’re in, God won’t give us what He ultimately does...

As we continue to consider how to see purpose in our problems and pain, Pastor Ford will explain the various kinds of suffering we can encounter. One of those is remedial suffering, and God uses it much like a potter uses a heat to cure his clay. So, it’s during those times when God uses suffering to burn character into us that cannot...

As we continue to look at seeking forgiveness from others on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain how we often will make excuses for ourselves. But he will remind us that Jesus died for our sins, not for our excuses. And we need to remember what we’re talking about when we seek forgiveness—it’s not what we feel about what we...
