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.
Tulad natin, nakaranas din si Kristo ng mga matinding pagsubok sa buhay. Itong linggo, hinihikayat tayo ni Rev. Mike Cariño na tanggapin ang mga pagsubok dahil pinalalakas nito ang ating karakter, pinapatatag ang ating pananampalataya, at nililinaw ang gawain ng Diyos sa ating buhay.
As pilgrims, we suffer because we don’t conform to the pattern of this world and we face indifference or even disdain. Listen to Rev. Jeremiah Cheung this week as he teaches us how we can thrive even in the midst of suffering.
