SEASONS OF SUFFERING: Understanding the Purpose of Suffering in the Christian Life.

GRACELIFE-COMI

Embracing the Journey| Suffering for & with Christ| Discipleship |CHIMDI OHAHUNA This podcast series delves into the often-overlooked reality of suffering in the Christian life. Drawing from scripture, particularly Hebrews 5:8 (“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered”.) and 1 Peter 5:10 (But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. ), we explore the significance of suffering as a path to obedience and growth in our relationship with God. We challenge the common misconception that the Church, birthed from the suffering Christ, should avoid suffering itself. Instead, we uncover how suffering, though temporary and ultimately light, plays a vital role in shaping us into mature, obedient sons and daughters of God. Through the lens of the potter and the clay, we examine the stages of transformation that come with suffering. Just as Jesus, the Son of God, learned obedience through suffering, so too do we. This journey helps us shed worldly desires, resist the temptations of the devil, and ultimately become more like Christ. Join us as we unpack the biblical understanding of suffering for and with Christ, offering encouragement and insight to navigate the trials of life and emerge stronger in our faith. In all our walk with God we are confident that the LORD would not put more on us than we can bear. Listen to this episode and other teaching episodes of this series.
