Suffering is something every person experiences, but scripture shows us that suffering does not have to be meaningless.

In this sermon, we walk through what the Bible teaches about pain, perseverance, spiritual growth, and hope. Using the imagery of the threshing floor and passages like Romans 5 and James 1, this message points to the truth that God can use difficult seasons to refine us, strengthen us, and draw us closer to Him.
