How can we go through trying times and still find the space to give thanks to God? This week, Rev. Mike Cariño reminds us that God can turn our hopelessness to gratefulness. He understands our trials, He is worthy of our worship, and He saves us when we come to Him in faith.
Paano humarap sa mga pagsubok at manatiling mapagpasalamat sa Diyos? Itong linggo, ipinapaalala ni Rev. Mike Cariño na kaya ng Panginoon maiahon tayo mula sa kawalan ng pag-asa tungo sa pagpapasalamat. Nauunawaan Niya ang ating mga pagsubok, karapat-dapat Siyang purihin, at Siya ang magliligtas sa atin kapag tayo’y lumapit sa Kanya.
Churches that embrace the prosperity gospel and focus solely on God’s blessings tend to forget that suffering is also a very real part of the Christian life in this fallen world. Listen to Rev. Jeremiah Cheung this week as he urges us to change our attitude about suffering so we can follow God wholeheartedly in both good and bad times.
Suffering should not surprise us because Christ himself suffered in the flesh and calls us to do the same. This week, Ptr. Nathan Tee reminds us that in suffering, we are privileged to intimately share in Christ’s obedience to the Father’s will and learn to trust Him more with what we face day to day.
