Good Sermon! Nice reminder tucked in this sermon that when we (Christians) are glorified, "we will forever be free of trials."
Pastor Brown also said if we have (repeated) trials, "maybe we haven't learned our lesson." That made me think that since all things work together for good to the one who loves the Lord, as Paul tells us in Romans, then we know that there is good that can come even when we sin (i.e. even when we haven't "learned our leasson.")
Thank God that God is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of our faith!!! The God who brings life out of death can and does bring good out of sin. The lessons God teaches us in the misery of our backward stumbling is designed to bring out that which the Lord wished to reveal in our soul. |
