Dec 29, 2008

2008-12-28-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning December 28th, 2008 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture Ref: I Peter 4:12-19

Topic: Suffering

Notes:
- We are victims of the fall of Adam; we live in a world contrary to God
- We reap consequences or our actions
- Parents just want to help their children; the best friend they could have
- No man from this world can turn the nation around
- The enemy hates you; every child of God has a "thorn in the flesh"
- God uses suffering as a catalyst to bring change in us
- If you're facing the fiery furnace, will you choose the easy way out?
- Time for some to move on; stay too long and accumulate too much
- Suffering tests our faith; going through something to gain something
- Suffering because of other peoples decisions
- So others can be delivered
