Suffering is a necessary part of our journey with Christ. Sometimes we'll be called to endure suffering for His name's sake. Nobody enjoys suffering, but it'll produce good fruit.

Episode 12 — The Cup of Suffering Pt One

In Part One of this topic, we're talking about enduring suffering that we bring on ourselves.

Joy is on its way! Scripture: John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”   James 5:13 “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.”   Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”   1 Peter 5:10 “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”

Episode 9— Don’t Worry Bout it
