Sin is not a problem on the outside. We look for answers in new jobs, new homes, new churches, however, sin is a problem on the inside. God must first work inside of us so that we can live a life that glorifies and honors him.

Waiting on God can seem hopeless at times. Whether it’s with friends or family, waiting can seem like forever. However, we know that if we part of God’s family, God is always at work whether we see it or not.

The Christian life is a race. It is not a walk or a jog, it is a race. Our race begins with Jesus, ends with Jesus, and together we run with the family of God.

Satan’s first scheme against humans came against our first mother, Eve. His first trick remains his favorite against mothers and women, especially on days like Mother’s Day. However, God’s grace covers our shortcomings and builds us up from his Son, Jesus.

Victory comes from the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Nothing else in this world compares to the victory and freedom given freely by God.

Freedom isn’t something you find outside of you, it’s something that God puts inside of you. Freedom is not something external, it is internal given to us from God through Jesus Christ. Grace, peace and freedom comes from Jesus alone.

When the storms of chaos come in life, the resurrection reminds us that the God who sent his son, the God who died for you, the God who rose again...is for you.

No matter what we go through, we have hope in Jesus who secured our victory on the cross and through his resurrection. There is nothing in this world that can stop God's sovereign work in our lives.

This is part two of our sermon series, "Why Trials?" We hope this sermon is a blessing to you, and pray that you find peace in knowing that despite our circumstances God is in control and always at work.

With so many questions and uncertainty surrounding us, it is easy to think, "Where is God?" However, we can find peace in the God who is always in control no matter what our circumstances may look like.
