6/12/16 - Shane Koehler - Some of the things God wants to accomplish in us and through us can only occur through suffering. God's promise in Rom. 8:28 helps us trust Him and have a perspective that rises above our circumstances.
6/5/16 - Shane Koehler - The greatest help and encouragment for Christians in their suffering is the indwelling Holy Spirit, who sympathetically understands our plight and intercedes for us according to God's will and beyond what we can communicate.
5/29/16 - Joel Teague - Religion, like any part of life, can be practiced in a foolish, empty, meaningless way. Avoiding this requires seeking God for His own sake and submitting to His will in His way rather than using religion as a means to our ends.
