081228-0830-Loran Livingston- Why We Suffer

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
